Job Overview
In this high-impact role, the Electrolyzer Development Engineer / Technologist will act as the vital link between cutting-edge research and real-world application, transforming breakthrough lab discoveries into pilot-scale, commercially viable systems. Collaborating across R&D and engineering, you’ll support benchtop electrochemical reactor testing as well as support the assembly and testing of our prototype electrolyzer.
The ideal candidate will be versatile and have a range of experience with prototype electrolyzers, flow batteries or fuel cell stack assemblies; a solid understanding in electrochemistry, electrolyzers and the core components of an electrolyzer; an understanding of electrochemical cell testing methods, and electrolyser performance and durability optimization. You thrive in a fast paced, dynamic, mission-driven environment and enjoy hands-on problem solving.
Your experience with electrochemical systems and cell testing will directly shape next-generation technologies that convert CO₂ into valuable products, turning a global challenge into a powerful opportunity. This is more than a technical role; it’s a chance to build and deploy transformative systems that redefine how the world produces chemicals and accelerate the path to a truly sustainable future.
Duties
- Manage build of Anodyne prototype electrolyzer stacks.
- Identify methods to improve stack assembly (fixtures, control methods, tools).
- Develop assembly procedures.
- Execute benchtop electrolyzer stack testing: including system setup, stack assembly, testing, rigorous data collection and report writing to evaluate performance and inform design decisions.
- Prepare standard operating procedures.
- Make continuous improvements to stack test bench, including data collection and controls control.
- Provide support to setting up, operating, and maintaining multiple benchtop electrochemical reactors (including H-Cells, beaker cells, etc.).
- Support electrochemical characterisation on benchtop cells using techniques such as (but not limited to) cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, chronopotentiometry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, linear sweep voltammetry, etc.
- Contribute to performance, degradation and failure mechanism studies.
- Contribute to development of future generation electrolyzers, including scaling studies, flow field development, cost reduction.
Requirements
- BEng/BASc (or Technologist Diploma) in Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
- Experience working with electrochemical, or chemical process systems, within an industrial and/or academic environment.
- Experience handling chemicals and operating chemical process equipment.
- Experience building and operating benchtop to prototype-size chemical process systems, including fluid controls, instrumentation and data logging.
- Experience assembling, disassembling and installing large stacks, or large equipment would be considered an asset.
- Highly detail-oriented, with excellent organisational skills and a commitment to accurate data collection, documentation, and record-keeping.
- Familiarity with H-Cells, beaker cells would be considered an asset.
- Effective communicator, with strong written and verbal skills and the ability to collaborate seamlessly across multidisciplinary teams.
- Experience assembling piping systems, fabricating jigs or building structures would be considered an asset.
- Demonstrated ability to manage projects autonomously.
Anodyne has two offices and the candidate will need to be able to work at both the Annacis Island location and the Burnaby location.
Pay: $50,000.00-$70,000.00 per year
Benefits:
- On-site parking
- Paid time off
