Job Title: Electrochemical R&D Lead

Department:

GreenTech R&D

Location:

Hazira, Gujarat

Position Type:

Full-Time

Job Summary:

We are seeking an experienced and driven

Electrochemical R&D Lead

to spearhead innovation in green hydrogen technologies, with a focus on electrolyser stack components, advanced materials, and performance optimization. The successful candidate will lead the development of next-generation electrochemical systems--including alkaline electrolysers--while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams across materials science, modeling, and product engineering.

Key Responsibilities:

1. R&D Leadership

Lead core R&D programs on electrochemical devices (electrolysers, fuel cells, batteries) with focus on component and system-level innovation. Drive technology development for electrodes, membranes, coatings, and catalysts to improve efficiency, durability, and cost.

2. Experimental Design & Testing

Design, plan, and execute experiments related to electrochemical performance, degradation studies, and material qualification. Oversee single-cell, short-stack, and full-stack testing with deep understanding of SEC, overpotentials, and gas crossover.

3. Technology Development

Identify, evaluate, and implement novel electrochemical materials (e.g., non-precious catalysts, polymer membranes, advanced separators). Collaborate with modeling teams to guide material and component optimization using DFT, CFD, and FEA insights.

4. Team & Project Management

Manage a team of scientists and engineers to meet project milestones and technology readiness levels (TRL). Develop and manage internal and collaborative research programs with academic and industrial partners.

5. IP, Documentation & Reporting

Drive intellectual property creation--file patents, write disclosures, and contribute to publications. Prepare technical reports, performance summaries, and presentation material for internal stakeholders and leadership reviews.

Required Qualifications:

PhD or Master's degree in Electrochemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or related field. 8+ years of hands-on R&D experience in water electrolysis, fuel cells, or battery technology. Proven track record of delivering electrochemical innovations from lab to prototype scale.

Preferred Skills:

Deep knowledge of electrode kinetics, mass transport, and degradation mechanisms. Familiarity with test bench design, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and advanced characterization tools (SEM, XPS, XRD, etc.). Experience in scaling up laboratory technologies to pilot or commercial systems. * Prior exposure to technology transfer, supplier qualification, or product development in green energy systems.
