Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Metallurgical or Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics or a related STEM field
  • 3+ years experience in metallurgy, materials science or engineering, materials failure analysis, corrosion, hydrogen embrittlement, degradation of polymers, mitigation of corrosion failure modes, materials selection, metallography, corrosion testing, root cause analysis and failure mode identification
  • 3+ years of Experience with mechanical testing, electrochemical testing and with analytical tools (SEM, XRF, FTIR, TGA, DSC, and DMA)
  • Knowledge of sources of stainless steel, welding, brazing, pickling, passivation processes and standards
  • Familiarity with mechanical engineering principles and systems including pumps, pneumatics, fans, flow meters, air handling systems, industrial chilled water, heating, process piping, and heat transfer
Responsibilities
  • Ensure reliability of water electrolyzers by overseeing the materials selection and materials challenges across different scales, from cell to stack to plant
  • Develop, and inform, through experiment technical requirements of materials
  • Develop an understanding of the failure modes and link them to environmental conditions
  • Develop a list of compatible materials for different environments through fundamentals experiments
  • Perform corrosion and degradation experiments per ASTM standards
  • Design corrosion, degradation experiments that reflect real-world environments
  • Develop mitigation strategies or select cost optimized mitigating materials to ensure long lifetime of the electrolyzer plant
  • Work with suppliers to develop processes, design of experiments and produce coupons for analysis
