Backed by leading European VCs and with commercial agreement from Lufthansa and MB Energy, we are deploying our first commercial facilities to prove commercial viability in the next 12 months.Where Ambition Meets Purpose\nWe are not waiting for change. We are building it together. At Greenlyte, speed and collaboration define how we work. Our culture rewards initiative, learning, and teamwork. If you want to grow fast, take ownership, and shape real impact, this is the place to do it.\nHow you'll contribute\nAs a Working Student in Systems & Design Engineering, you help design and industrialize the electrolysis cells, stacks & BoP for our direct air capture to fuels technology. You work closely with our Systems Engineering, Test Engineering, and Manufacturing teams, turning rough concepts into precise 3D models and drawings that go into production. If you think in three dimensions and want to see your designs become real hardware, you will feel at home here.Design electrolysis cell, stack & BoP components and assemblies in 3D CAD, from rough concept to production-ready model.\nCreate and refine manufacturing drawings for single cells, stack parts, and assemblies.\nTranslate electrochemical requirements, from anode and cathode to full stack, into clear mechanical designs.\nWork closely with Systems Engineering, Test Engineering, and Manufacturing to align designs with process and production needs.\nCoordinate with suppliers on drawings, parts, and manufacturability.\nFind pragmatic and scalable design solutions that cut complexity and cost, and bring them to the team.\nYour first 12 months in the role\nMonth 1 to 2: Work on manufacturing drawings and learn our internal tools using rough models from the team.\nMonth 3 to 5: Take ownership of individual parts and smaller assemblies, with regular design reviews.\nMonth 6 to 12: Independently design single cells and assemblies in 3D, from concept to production-ready model.\nAbout you\n Must-haveCurrently enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, such as Process Engineering .\nStrong 3D thinking and confident with CAD software such as Fusion or Inventor, including parts and assemblies.\nBasic understanding of electrochemistry: fuel cells, electrolyzer or batteries \nClear communication skills and a confident, professional presence when working with suppliers.\nSolid English skills for daily work with the team and external partners.\nAvailable 20 hours per week (mostly onsite in Essen) and motivated to build sustainable technology.\nNice-to-haveFirst practical experience with electrolyzers, fuel cells, or batteries from a lab, project, or internship.\nFirst experience creating manufacturing drawings used for real fabrication.\nBasic knowledge of process engineering.\nGerman language skills for smooth coordination with regional partners.\nWhat we offer\n20 days vacation plus 2 special leave days for company events plus public holidays to ensure you also have the down time needed to rest and recharge.\nReal responsibility from day one, not busywork. Your designs go straight into our hardware.\nA small, high-trust team where your ideas shape decisions and flat hierarchies mean no micromanagement.\nMentorship from engineers building first-of-a-kind technology, with room to learn fast.\nDirect impact on global decarbonization, with results you can see and touch.\nA supportive, curious team that takes the mission seriously and still has fun together.\nA front-row seat as we deploy our first commercial facilities over the next year.\nNoteworthy points\nReady to build with us?\n We hire for potential and welcome applicants of every background. If you meet most of the must-haves, we encourage you to apply.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3976,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"German","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Company events"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Chemical Manufacturing","ESG & Carbon Accounting Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-01T15:51:56Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":67,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.742,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":21,"expected_fill_days":34,"reasons":["conf:1","win:mid","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-23T05:54:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/greenlyte-working-student-systems-design-engineering-fmd","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/greenlyte-working-student-systems-design-engineering-fmd.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-23T17:27:55Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":26549,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-24T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":697336},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=697336"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgreenlyte-working-student-systems-design-engineering-fmd"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgreenlyte-working-student-systems-design-engineering-fmd"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgreenlyte-working-student-systems-design-engineering-fmd"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/greenlyte-working-student-systems-design-engineering-fmd\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgreenlyte-working-student-systems-design-engineering-fmd"}]}
