Research Scientist

Job Type: Contract

Responsibilities: The successful candidate should have direct knowledge and experience in synthesizing electrocatalysts and fabricating MEAs. Support related projects, involving water electrolysis projects, as needed. Prepare and evaluate technical plans, reports, presentations, and proposals to support project success.

Qualifications: Ph. D. or equivalent in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering with 4 years or more of related experience. Solid knowledge on electrocatalyst synthesis, MEA fabrication and testing for fuel cells and/or water electrolyzers. Hands-on experience on synthesis and characterization of non-PGM catalysts and/or OER catalysts is preferred. Demonstrated ability to work efficiently within a multidisciplinary team. CCMs for fuel cells or PEM water electrolyzers. Responsibilities include but are not limited to the following: Design and synthesize nano-sized PGM ORR catalysts for low-temperature fuel cells. Conduct half-cell measurements using Rotating Disk Electrode (RDE) and full-cell testing using Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEAs).Perform Accelerated Stress Tests (AST) to evaluate durability, including catalyst dissolution and carbon support corrosion.
