We offer fuel-agnostic proton exchange membrane (PEM) systems running on natural gas, biogas or hydrogen, with options for integrated carbon capture and heat recovery. Following a recently announced major investment round, EHG is expanding from its founding in Switzerland into the US, fueled by a GW-scale, late-stage pipeline of US data center customers.\nAbout the role\nWe are hiring a Senior Solutions Engineer to be our technical and site design expert in front of data center customers and partners. Three things sit in the job: site planning, technical design and technical proposal writing.\nNear enough every data center developer we meet wants what we have. What they want from us is a proposal, a technical design their engineers can put through diligence, and proof that the project is bankable. Nobody owns producing those today. That is the seat we are creating, and you will build the system that makes it repeatable.\nThese deals are multi-party and deeply technical: the customer, their EPC, the gas supplier, their financing partners and sometimes the utility. Our scope has to integrate into the customer's whole site plan. You will be the person who makes that fit, on paper and in the room.\nThis is the first hire in a function we expect to grow. You will set the templates, the design standards and the proposal library that everyone after you uses, and you will help us work out how the function should scale.\nThe role is based in Houston, Texas, alongside our US operations hub and manufacturing site, with travel to customer sites, to partners and to our Swiss HQ.\nWhat you will own\nSite planning\nWork with the customer and their EPC on where our systems go: layout, footprint, clearances, electrical and gas interconnection points, hydrogen and reformer siting, and constructability.\n\nIntegrate our scope into the customer's overall site plan alongside the other parties on the project.\n\nSurface the site-specific constraints that change the design or the price early, before they become a late surprise in diligence.\n\nBuild reference layouts for common data center configurations so every new opportunity starts from a template.\n\nTechnical design\nSupervise and own the CAD models and technical drawings for each opportunity: system arrangement, reformer integration, balance of plant and interfaces.\n\nMap the customer's technical specifications onto our technology and our reformers, and produce the compliance view: what we meet, what we meet differently, and what needs a deviation.\n\nSize and configure systems against the customer's load profile, redundancy requirements and availability targets.\n\nOwn the technical interfaces: electrical tie-in, cooling and heat recovery, controls and monitoring, and the gas and hydrogen side alongside our VP of Fuel.\n\nBring customer requirements and recurring design constraints back into our product roadmap with our engineering team in Switzerland.\n\nTechnical proposal writing\nWrite the technical proposals. This is a named part of the job: clear, well-structured technical writing that a customer's engineering team, their EPC and their financing partners can all read.\n\nOwn responses to RFPs, RFIs and technical questionnaires, and the technical sections of term sheets and contracts.\n\nCarry the customer's technical due diligence: assemble the package, answer the questions, manage the follow-ups.\n\nBuild the proposal library and content system so the second proposal is faster than the first.\n\nSupply the technical inputs behind customer financial models: performance assumptions, capex and opex build-up, availability and degradation. These deals are unusually finance-heavy, and the customer's CFO is often our primary stakeholder.\n\nWhat success looks like in the first 12 months\nIllustrative milestones, to be confirmed together.\nProposal and design production has a clear owner: you.\n\nA working system in place: templates, reference layouts, a technical content library, and a compliance matrix approach that shortens every cycle.\n\nNamed contribution to deals moving from qualified pipeline to signed order, with a measurable drop in time from customer request to delivered proposal.\n\nYou are running technical due diligence sessions with customers on your own.\n\nA clear view on how this function scales, including your first hires.\n\nWhat we are looking for\nMust-have\nAn engineering degree (mechanical, electrical, chemical or civil) and 8+ years of engineering practice. This is a role for an engineer, and we are firm on it.\n\nStrong hands-on CAD skills. You produce drawings yourself, in current tools, and you can walk us through recent work.\n\nData center or industrial power design and development experience. You understand what a data center needs from its power and how a large power project gets built.\n\nA customer-facing track record. You have been the technical person in the room with a paying customer, rather than an internal design engineer.\n\nStrong technical writing. You have written technical proposals, RFP responses or design basis documents for an external audience.\n\nComfort coordinating across multiple external parties: customer, EPC, utility or gas supplier, and financing advisors.\n\nComfort being the first person in a function, working from a blank page, in a lean company.\n\nHouston-based, or willing to relocate to Houston.\n\nExisting authorization to work in the United States.\n\nStrongly preferred\nEPC background. It is the single most useful thing on a CV for this role: design, constructability and multi-party coordination in one person.\n\nProject development experience, so a customer's development view is familiar from the inside.\n\nDistributed generation, gas engine, turbine, fuel cell or onsite power experience.\n\nDirect data center exposure, hyperscale or colocation, and familiarity with how these buyers run technical diligence.\n\nApplications engineering, solutions engineering or technical sales experience in a complex, long-cycle capital sale.\n\nComfort with the financial layer: you have fed technical inputs into project financial models and you understand what makes a project bankable.\n\nWhat we offer\nCompetitive compensation with meaningful equity.\n\nRelocation support to Houston, Texas, if needed.\n\nThe first seat in a function that will grow. You will set the standards rather than inherit them, at the exact point where our pipeline turns into signed orders.\n\nHow to apply\nApply with your CV and a short upload: a writing sample (a technical proposal, RFP response or design basis document you wrote for an external reader). Redact client names and commercial terms; we do not need anything confidential. Please have both ready before you start the application.\nOnly candidates selected for interview will be contacted.\nEH Energy is an equal opportunity employer.
