Job summary

Teragen Energy Corporation is hiring an Electrochemical Test Engineer to design test protocols for SOFC cells and stacks, run tests, and convert results into actionable analysis. You will report to the CTO and collaborate with Cell and Mechanical Engineering teams across full cell and stack testing.

The role emphasizes data-driven decisions, rigorous documentation, and the development of repeatable test practices to improve confidence, traceability, and decision quality.

Qualifications

• BS or MS degree in chemical engineering, materials engineering, mechanical engineering or related field, with 3-6 years of experience in test engineering, electrochemical testing, high-temperature testing, or a related field.
• Direct experience with SOFC or SOEC highly desirable.
• Strong grounding in test design and data analysis, including comfort defining what data is needed to resolve a technical question.
• Experience with electrochemical, fuel cell, battery, gas-flow, or high-temperature test methods is desirable.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills. Ability to clearly and rigorously document results and to communicate uncertainty honestly.
• Test infrastructure build experience is helpful but not required; the Mechanical Engineer will support the hardware side so this role can stay focused on test design, data quality, analysis, and reporting.
• Simulation or modeling experience, such as MATLAB, Simulink or Python, is helpful but not required.

Responsibilities

• Design & execute test protocols and specifications for SOFC cell and stack level validation, including performance testing, thermal cycling, dynamic load, durability, and performance testing.
• Analyze results and convert them into clear documentation, decisions, and communicate recommended next steps.
• Contribute test-based evidence to shared boundary problems, including whether a result is driven by materials, geometry, assembly, thermal gradients, or operating conditions.
• Design and implement versioning and tracking system for test procedures to build repeatable test practices that improve confidence, comparability, and traceability.
