Key Responsibilities

1. Test Strategy & Execution
Define and execute testing protocols with scientific rigor: establish electrochemistry-grounded hypotheses, design tests to validate or refute them, and quantify all findings (degradation rates, failure mechanisms, performance bounds) while documenting analytical-technique limitations.
Use DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) as the primary framework for test plan development, ensuring every failure mode has a detection method and test protocol that validates the reliability roadmap.
Document all test decisions with scientific and cost rationale, avoiding trial-and-error.
2. Infrastructure & Lab Management
Oversee design, procurement, and scaling of testing facilities and test benches (hardware, electrical, fluidic, and safety systems).
Establish testing facility operational targets: uptime, data quality, cost per test hour, and capability maturity.
Ensure all safety aspects are considered during procurement and deployment of testing equipment.
3. Data & Diagnostics




Implement and manage advanced diagnostics—Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Cell Voltage Monitoring (CVM)—to analyze performance and map degradation.
Establish data-quality standards and ensure test data feeds structured analysis pipelines for reliability and design teams.
4. Failure Analysis & Root Cause
Lead root-cause analysis (RCA) and post-mortem investigations on test articles to identify failure modes and improve stack design.
Translate test findings into actionable engineering conclusions with documented hypothesis validation.
5. Team Leadership & Development
Build and mentor a high-performing team of engineers and scientists specializing in electrochemical testing and diagnostics.
Build a team culture of quantified reasoning, structured technical discourse, and ownership accountability.
Establish regular technical deep-dive forums where hypotheses are tested, data interpreted rigorously, and design implications debated
