The challenging research plans will be executed by applying existing capabilities but also by building enabling capabilities in the broad areas of electrochemistry, membranes, catalysis and by leveraging the multi-disciplinary skills of the entire Technology organization.
In this role, you are expected to translate business strategy and/or energy challenges into technical challenges and then apply known fundamental science & engineering concepts to deliver creative and pragmatic experimental plans. Stakeholder engagement is critical in defining these plans and ensuring their alignment when executing the projects.
You will, in addition be responsible in the designing and monitoring project progress, also conduct “hands-on” experiments inside our laboratories by following established safety procedures.
You will also manage multiple internal and external interfaces to deliver the project milestones with rigour and within the agreed timelines.
