Nick H.

Nick H. has work experience at Plug Power, starting with an internship as a Mechanical Design Intern in 2020. In this role, they collaborated with an engineering team to design mechanical systems and components for hydrogen fuel cell engines, specifically for on-road vehicle applications. Nick also created wire harnesses, valves, and connected electrical components to support manufacturing during critical fulfillment times.

In 2021, Nick H. transitioned to a role as a full-time Mechanical Design Engineer at Plug Power. In this position, they are responsible for the system integration of mechanical and electrical components used in hydrogen generation, compression, storage, and refueling systems. Their tasks include creating, verifying, and managing 3D CAD components and assemblies using PTC Creo and Windchill (PLM). Nick also designs and develops system layouts for hydrogen infrastructure projects, which involve cryogenic liquids, high pressure gases, hydraulics, pneumatics, electrical systems, mechanical piping, and control systems.

Nick H. began their education journey by completing an Associate of Science (AS) degree in Engineering Science from Hudson Valley Community College from 2018 to 2019. Subsequently, they pursued a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Mechanical Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute from 2019 to 2021.

In addition to their formal education, Nick H. has obtained two certifications. Nick received a certification in Project Management: Technical Projects from LinkedIn in April 2022. Furthermore, they obtained a certification in Pressure Relief Devices: Design, Sizing, Construction, Inspection & Maintenance from ASME (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers) in August 2021.

Overall, Nick H. has a strong academic background in engineering, with degrees in Engineering Science and Mechanical Engineering, supplemented by certifications in project management and pressure relief devices.
