Job Description

They will lead the scale-up of hydrogen separation membranes from laboratory prototypes to manufacturable large-area modules by optimizing membrane materials, support architecture, fabrication processes, sealing technologies, and module integration to achieve high hydrogen permeance, selectivity, mechanical integrity, and long-term stability under industrial operating conditions.

Qualifications

1. PhD in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline.
2. Knowledge of membrane science and engineering, membrane fabrication, and gas separation technologies.
3. Experience in membrane module design, scale-up, and manufacturing processes is preferred.
4. Familiarity with ceramic, metallic, polymeric, or composite membranes for gas separation is an advantage.
5. Experience with membrane characterization techniques and performance evaluation, including permeance, selectivity, and durability testing.
6. Understanding of membrane sealing, module integration, and operation under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions is desirable.
7. Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams.
