Job Opportunities at CERT Systems
Electrochemical Co-op
Description
Who we are…
CERT Systems Inc (CERT) is on a mission to transform the way the world's most important chemicals are made. Our breakthrough electrochemical route to convert captured CO2 into valuable fuels and chemical feedstocks means that we can help the planet avoid over 500 million tonnes of emissions by 2040.
Who YOU are…
You cannot wait to get hands-on in the lab - you love running experiments, analyzing data, and working independently. A start-up environment is exciting to you because you'll be able to collaborate with others to create and test a tangible product output. You are also mission-driven; you care about climate change, and you want to use your skills to help be part of a global solution.
Job Responsibilities:
The successful candidate will:
- Participate in catalyst design, gas diffusion electrode engineering, membrane electrode assembly (MEA) fabrication, and electrolyzer engineering and testing.
- Use materials engineering skills to synthesize new catalyst inks, as well as optimize the performance and the deposition procedures for spray coating, blade coating etc.
- Troubleshoot electrolyzer performance and develop experimental plans.
- Scale and operate prototypes/ pilots.
- Conduct experiments with CO2 electrolyzers, analyze data (gas chromatography, NMR, etc.), and compile results in various formats independently (presentation, reports, etc.).
- Communicate results at regular update meetings (weekly, monthly, quarterly) and compile reports on experiments.
- Aid in developing standard operating procedures.
