Materials Scientist ​/ Engineer

Job Duties/Responsibilities This Role

We are looking for an exceptional
Material Scientist / Engineer
to join us in driving Teragen's Solid Oxide Fuel Cell platform toward a manufacturable, scalable product. This role touches all aspects of what Teragen is building. In your role you will own materials characterization, process development, and new materials studies for all cell and stack components including optimizing seal, and interconnect materials. You will report directly to the CTO and work with the existing Cell Development Team across the full cell & stack process.

Lead materials characterization and focused studies as the platform evolves, including failure analysis and materials/process tradeoffs. You’ll also own the quality control of raw materials.

Develop cell and stack materials from composition and processing through characterization and production-ready specifications.

Collaborate on shared cell and stack scale up, degradation analysis, failure diagnosis, and contribute to process improvements.

Partner with Mechanical and Test Engineering to understand manufacturability and test results across the entire technology.

Conceptualize and execute experimental plans, and document observations, results, and recommendations so the team can make fast, traceable technical decisions.

Decisions here are driven by data, not seniority or consensus. We run minimal process and maximum communication. You will be trusted to work autonomously while keeping your work visible, documented, and impactful to the team.

BS or MS in Materials Science, Ceramic Engineering, or a related field with 0-6 years of experience; exceptional candidates at any level are encouraged to apply.

Strong materials science fundamentals and material relevant characterization experience such as: SEM, TGA/DTA, Dilatometry, PSD, BET, etc.

Comfort working at the boundary between what the material wants to do and what the hardware needs it to do.

Preference toward pragmatic, fast, decision-quality experiments over polished-but-slow perfection.

Interest in translating materials learning into manufacturable product decisions.

Teragen's core technical decisions depend on what happens at the materials level. If you want your characterization and materials development work to directly determine whether a new architecture holds up, this is your dream role.
