Electrochemist I - II - III / Electrochemical Engineer I - II - III
About The Position
Oxylus Energy is hiring an Electrochemist or Electrochemical Engineer at Level I, II, or III to test membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) for CO₂ electrolyzers across a range of operating conditions. The role involves developing a deep understanding of the operating and scientific principles that govern reactor electrochemical performance and designing and running experiments to improve it. The employee will set up and manage electrochemical tests, ensure they produce high-quality data, analyze results, and report findings to project stakeholders. The role will take an increasingly important part in experimental design. The position is onsite in Branford, Connecticut, and the employee must be willing to relocate to the Bridgeport/Stamford area within one year of the start date.
