Description

Your mission We are looking for a Senior Stack & Modelling Expert to join our Stack Development team in Vantaa. In this pivotal role, you will act as a key player and the go-to authority for solid oxide stack expertise, driving the design of our next-generation products. You will bridge the gap between advanced multiphysics simulations and experimental testing campaigns, ensuring information flow and support across different departments to fuel our customers' success. If you have a deep understanding of high-temperature electrochemical systems and want to shape the future of solid oxide fuel cells and electrolysis, this is your mission. You will report to R&D Manager, Stack Development. The role is based in Vantaa, Finland and hybrid with 50% flexibility to work remotely. Your tasks Lead Modelling & Simulation Strategy: Develop and scale Elcogen’s stack and stack module modelling expertise. Set up and optimize our computational hardware and software platforms.
