CAREER/INTERN OPPORTUNITIES AT FRANKLIN FUEL CELLS
CERAMICS ENGINEER
Franklin Fuel Cells is developing solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems for commercialization in the transportation, portable and distributed generation markets. The company has exclusive license to breakthrough technology developed at the University of Pennsylvania which allows the fuel cell to directly oxidize hydrocarbon fuels without experiencing the carbon build-up associated with hydrocarbon exposure of standard nickel / YSZ based SOFCs. The company has a world-class team of entrepreneurial business executives, researchers and scientists, a growing portfolio of proprietary SOFC intellectual property, and has received government awards and developed strategic partnerships to help accelerate commercialization.
We are seeking a qualified candidate to provide technical expertise relating to all aspects of ceramic processing leading to the manufacture of solid oxide fuel cells. Specifically, the candidate will be responsible for selecting materials and developing procedures related to slurry formulations, paste manufacture using 3 roll mills, tape casting, isostatic lamination, binder burn out and sintering, and all associated quality control.
The right person will have hands on SOFC, or related, industry experience and experience with the use of laboratory equipment such as particle size / surface area analyzer, dilatometer, and programmable furnaces. He or she should also be experienced in the use of design of experiments and other statistical methods as they apply to process development and design optimization.
Overall, the candidate should possess strong teamwork, written and oral communication skills, and be able to work within a fast-paced, technical start-up environment.
Desired qualifications: BS or MS degree with at least five years of industrial experience, or Ph.D. with 3+ years of industrial experience.
