Director - Stack Testing

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 durin...
