Senior Fuel-Cell Electrochemist: Testing & Durability Lead

EH Group; Schweiz; Remote; CHF 120.000 - 180.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

EH Group Engineering seeks a Senior Electrochemist specialised in fuel cells to lead electrochemical testing and characterisation of MEAs, stacks and materials. The role requires deep hands-on expertise with EIS, CV and durability testing, plus strong data analysis using Python or MATLAB.

You will design campaigns, analyse degradation, and translate insights into better-performing, more durable products. Excellent English is mandatory; French or German is a plus.

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, instrumentation and electrochemical measurement equipment.
• Strong data analysis and modelling skills (eg 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.

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 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.
