The role:

• Define and execute the R&D roadmap across single cell, stack, pilot, and container scale.
• Standardize test protocols: performance mapping, cycling/aging, efficiency breakdown, and safety-related tests.
• Apply Design of Experiments (DoE) to optimize stack/system parameters (flow, pressure, compression, temperature, operating windows).
• Lead scaling-up activities, coordinating build/test iterations and design reviews with engineering teams.
• Own data quality, reproducibility, analysis workflows, and reporting cadence.
• Define acceptance criteria for prototypes and pilot builds; support FAT/SAT preparation.
• Manage lab/test infrastructure needs (instrumentation, test stands, automation requirements) with the controls team.
• Mentor team members and enforce safe, structured experimentation.
• Draft procedures, reports and technical documentation in general.

Mandatory skills:

• Experience in battery engineering / electrochemical system testing (PhD years can be counted as experience if relevant).
• Proven R&D management or technical leadership in experimental teams.
• Strong skills in battery testing, scale-up, DoE, and electrochemistry interpretation.
• Experience defining structured test plans and translating results into engineering actions.
