Job summary

Teragen Energy is hiring an Electrochemical Test Engineer to design test protocols for SOFC cell and stack validation, run tests, and translate results into actionable insights for the engineering team. You will report to the CTO and collaborate across cell and mechanical engineering to drive performance milestones.

The role emphasizes data-driven decision making, reliability testing, and translating data into milestone-linked evidence that informs product direction and continuous improvement.

Qualifications

• BS or MS in chemical engineering, materials engineering, mechanical engineering or related field.
• Strong grounding in test design and data analysis, including comfort defining what data is needed to resolve a technical question.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills. Candidate must have the 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.

Responsibilities

• Design and 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.
