KERIONICS is developing high temperature electrolyzers and fuel cells stacks (SOEC-SOFC) for green hydrogen production and similar applications. To face this challenge, they are looking for a Balance of Plant (BOP) development scientist .
About the Role
KERIONICS offers an exciting position for an ambitious scientist eager to join a fast-growing company. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with scientists and engineers in the New Product Introduction process and play a key role in developing innovative products for launch.
This role is ideal for someone with a flexible, hands-on approach and a broad skill set. The candidate will be responsible for developing BOP configurations for SOEC systems, ensuring that the development project meets the necessary requirements to elevate KERIONICS to the next level.
The individual is expected to work towards building a theoretical model of the balance of plant, which should serve as the solid base for the entire BOP development project. The candidate will manage system simulations to evaluate fluid consumption, hydrogen production, thermal and energy balances, aiming to optimize configurations for maximum efficiency and cost reduction. They will collaborate in the dimensioning and selection of solutions and layouts during the system design process.
Additionally, the person will collaborate with component suppliers, providing scientific expertise and participating in validation activities with the Kerionics team.
Responsibilities
* Take full accountability for developing the Balance of Plant/System model for Solid Oxide Electrolysis applications.
* Establish and maintain collaborations with external BOP component suppliers.
* Participate in the development and testing activities of the solid oxide electrolysis system.
* Facilitate technology transfer and provide training to internal colleagues to ensure smooth implementation.
* Support the transfer of new technologies from R&D to production ramp-up and qualification.
* Lead or participate in projects and study teams to support business development, providing technical expertise for proposals.
* Ensure all work complies with safety standards and is performed to high quality and precision standards.
Other Key Responsibilities
* Propose process improvements to enhance efficiency and quality.
* Participate in Design and Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
* Support other engineering areas as required, including Membrane Electrode Assembly, Stack Development, and other components.
