The Gore Fuel Cells Technology team is a leading global supplier of Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEAs) to the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell industry. The Gore MEA technology, based on a high power density and very durable ionomer / ePTFE composite membrane, is widely used in applications from automotive drive trains to telecommunications back-up power supplies.

The fuel cell technical team is seeking an experienced and highly motivated ionomer scientist with in-depth understanding of structure-property relationship as well as substantial experience in synthetic chemistry, preferably in the area of fluoro-polymers, to lead the development of the next generation fuel cell ionomers at Gore. A successful candidate should have at least 5 years industrial or academic experience developing ionomers for fuel cells or other electrochemical devices used in industrial applications, and have a successful track record in establishing "synthesis - structure - property" relationships for ionomeric materials.

A successful candidate will focus on understanding the molecular structure of fuel cell ionomers, identifying the impact of structure on critical properties and performance characteristics. The candidate should be capable of proposing new structures that may enhance ionomer properties, such as increased conductivity, increased mechanical and chemical stability and decreased reactant gas permeability. In addition, this candidate will be expected to work closely with Gore's polymer synthesis group to rapidly develop ionomers with desired molecular structures. A key aspect of this position will be to lead the development of new ionomers at Gore. Therefore, it is important that the candidate maintain a comprehensive technical understanding of global ionomer development including the competitive landscape and become a critical contributor in driving Gore's long-term development for fuel cell membranes.

Qualifications

Qualifications include:

* Greater than 5 years industrial and or academic experience (not including PhD) as an ionomer scientist in the field of electrochemical devices (fuel cells, batteries or other industrial electrochemical applications).
* Demonstrated track record in establishing "structure - property - performance" relationship of polymers and ionomers in industrial applications.
* Understanding of structure-performance relationship of fluoro-ionomers and their performance (durability, conductivity, etc.) in polymer electrolyte fuel cells is an advantage.
* Experience in synthetic polymer chemistry, preferably with a certain degree of understanding for fluoro-polymer chemistry to be applied to:
* Synthetic routes to new ionomer structures
* Fluoro-polymer and ionomer characterization
* Anticipation of new monomer structures

* Ability to travel internationally (up to 20 %)
* Excellent verbal and written communication skills
* Leadership skills; pro active and self directed; team player.

This position requires access to export-controlled areas and information. Candidates must be "US persons" as that term is defined in 8 USC 1324b(a)(3). The term "US persons" includes resident aliens ("green-card" holders) as well as certain refugees, asylum-holders and residents qualifying for temporary residence under the terms of 8 USC 1255a.
