Define the reliability roadmap and targets for stack life, degradation rate and availability, grounded in electrochemical first-principles, spearhead Design for Reliability (DfR) and Manufacturability (DfM) across all stack generations.
Make DFMEA/PFMEA primary tools (not afterthoughts), linking each failure mode to a test or design control, quantify all reliability claims with documented analytical basis.
Design accelerated life testing (ALT) protocols and oversee the DVP&R to validate stack components under varied transient loads, pressures and temperatures.
Implement stack diagnostics (EIS, Cyclic Voltammetry) to monitor decay and find root causes, while respecting the limits of each characterization tool and avoiding over-interpretation.
Lead structured technical discussions, own root cause analysis on test data from the Testing Director and translate field feedback into design changes with cl...
