Senior Electrochemist

EH GROUP; Nyon; Vor Ort; CHF 120.000 - 150.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

EH Group Engineering is seeking a Senior Electrochemist to lead electrochemical testing of MEAs, catalysts and stacks. You will design test campaigns, analyse degradation, and translate insights into durable, cost-effective fuel cell solutions.

The role requires deep hands-on experience with EIS, CV, and durability testing, plus strong data analysis (Python/MATLAB). English fluency is essential; French/German is a plus. Start date is immediate.

Qualifikationen

• MSc or PhD in electrochemistry, chemical engineering, materials science or a related field is mandatory.
• Minimum 5–6 years of experience in fuel cell testing and electrochemical characterisation.
• Deep hands-on expertise with EIS, CV, polarisation, durability/AST and diagnostic techniques.
• Strong understanding of MEA, catalyst, membrane and GDL behaviour and degradation mechanisms.
• Experience with test bench operation and data acquisition.

Aufgaben

• Lead electrochemical testing and characterisation of MEAs, catalysts, membranes and stacks.
• Design and run test campaigns: polarisation, EIS, cyclic voltammetry, durability and AST.
• Analyse degradation, ageing and failure mechanisms and drive root-cause investigations.
• Develop and standardise electrochemical test protocols, methods and data-analysis workflows.
• Correlate electrochemical performance with materials, process and design parameters.
• Guide catalyst, membrane and MEA selection for performance, durability and cost.
• Support the build-up and operation of electrochemical test benches and diagnostics.
• Mentor junior scientists/engineers and collaborate with design teams.

About EH Group Engineering

EHG is developing cutting-edge fuel cell technology for heavy duty mobility and large-scale stationary power applications. Our uniquely redesigned product is a significantly more compact fuel cell with high power density and lower costs of production. Faced with the challenges of climate change and the transition to a decentralised energy system, EHG seeks to provide high performance and cost-effective fuel cell solutions to our clients and partners.

To help achieve our vision of a decarbonised future we are seeking a Senior Electrochemist specialised in fuel cells to lead the electrochemical testing and characterisation of our membrane electrode assemblies, stacks and materials, and to translate deep electrochemical insight into better-performing, more durable products.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead electrochemical testing and characterisation of MEAs, catalysts, membranes and stacks
• Design and run test campaigns: polarisation, EIS, cyclic voltammetry, durability and AST
• Analyse degradation, ageing and failure mechanisms and drive root-cause investigations
• Develop and standardise electrochemical test protocols, methods and data-analysis workflows
• Correlate electrochemical performance with materials, process and design parameters
• Guide catalyst, membrane and MEA selection and optimisation for performance, durability and cost
• Support the build-up and operation of electrochemical test benches and diagnostics
• Advise design, materials, process and test teams and mentor junior scientists/engineers
  
  

Skills and Experience Required:

• MSc or PhD in electrochemistry, chemical engineering, materials science or a related field is mandatory
• Minimum 5-6 years of experience in fuel cell (ex. PEM) testing and electrochemical characterisation
• Deep hands-on expertise with EIS, CV, polarisation, durability/AST and diagnostic techniques
• Strong understanding of MEA, catalyst, membrane and GDL behaviour and degradation mechanisms
• Experience with test bench operation, instrumentation and electrochemical measurement equipment
• Strong data analysis and modelling skills (ex. Python, MATLAB or equivalent)
• Team player able to work autonomously with internal and external experts
• Excellent spoken and written English is mandatory; French/German is a plus
