Key Responsibilities

- Lead the integration of multi-layer electrolyzer stack components (MEA, PTL, gaskets, bipolar plates) to ensure proper fit, function, and performance

- Define and optimize stack compression strategy, including compression windows, tolerances, and assembly sequences

- Analyse and control load transfer mechanisms across layers under hydraulic pressing and bolt torquing conditions

- Ensure uniform contact pressure distribution to balance sealing integrity, electrical contact resistance, and component durability

- Evaluate mechanical behaviour of layers (elastic/plastic deformation, creep, stress relaxation) under assembly and operating conditions

- Improve pressure handling capability of the stack, including resistance to leakage, deformation, and mechanical failure

- Correlate mechanical compression with electrochemical performance (efficiency, voltage losses, degradation)

- Develop and use FEA models to predict stress, strain, and contact pressure distribution across the stack

- Design and execute validation tests (compression mapping, torque-tension, leak and pressure cycling tests)

- Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure design robustness, manufacturability, and scalability of stack integration solutions

Required Qualifications
