Electrochemical Stack Engineer

Il Gruppo Ansaldo Energia è uno dei leader mondiali della power generation. Il suo core business sono la fornitura e il service di componenti e soluzioni tecnologiche per la produzione di energia con macchine rotanti.

Con sede a Genova, il Gruppo conta oltre 3.300 dipendenti e ha una forte presenza internazionale grazie alle sue oltre 30 sedi nel mondo. Ansaldo Energia è tra i protagonisti del percorso di transizione e decarbonizzazione della produzione di energia elettrica. La sua flotta di turbogas è già oggi pronta a bruciare idrogeno tra il 40 e il 70%, con l'obiettivo di raggiungere il 100% entro il 2030.

L'evoluzione "green" del portafoglio di Ansaldo Energia va di pari passo con la diversificazione del prodotto – volta ad ampliare il perimetro di attività del Gruppo offrendo nuove tecnologie di generazione e conservazione dell'energia.

Questa missione è affidata ad Ansaldo Green Tech – società focalizzata sul business della transizione energetica, costituita nel 2021 e partecipata al 100% da Ansaldo Energia, che ha ereditato da Ansaldo Energia know-how e competenze specifiche.

Posizione: Scope: Within a broader electrolysis system product development program, define, follow up and guide technical activities to reach the performance goals for the electrochemical stack. Areas of focus are technology scouting, material selection, stack engineering, multiphysics modelling, prototyping and validation testing.

Main activities: Coordinate and oversee the development activities related to electrochemical stack engineering, providing improvements roadmap in accordance with the company strategic vision. Identify, assess, and manage technical risks associated with stack development projects. Set and monitor performance benchmarks for stack products to meet technical and commercial requirements. Identify the areas of improvements of the current design to maximize the performance (electrodes improvements, membrane selection, stack architecture, etc.) Lead material selection and coordinate laboratory activities to ensure optimal performance and durability of electrochemical stacks. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of stack technology into final products. Develop and maintain detailed documentation of design processes, testing protocols, and performance evaluations. Stay updated with the latest advancements in electrochemical technology (e.g. low-TRL innovation available in the industrial and scientific community) and incorporate relevant innovations into development projects. Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and support staff.
