Requirements

Candidates should have a BSc or MSc in Analytical Chemistry, Chemistry, Materials Science, or a related discipline, along with practical experience in a plating or electrochemistry environment. Familiarity with electroplating bath analysis and strong laboratory skills are essential.

Job Description

Our mission

At Electrogenos, we’re building technology to make green hydrogen competitive at scale. We focus on reducing the cost and complexity of hydrogen production so it can replace fossil-based alternatives across real-world applications. We’re an early-stage team working at the intersection of electrochemistry, manufacturing, and deployment.

About The Role

We are looking for an Analytical Chemist to support R&D through chemical analysis, bath chemistry monitoring, and materials characterisation. Our core technology is built on electroplating processes, and this role is central to process quality and scale-up.

The ideal candidate brings practical experience from the surface finishing or electroplating industry—someone who understands plating bath chemistry, routine analytical controls, and the day-to-day analysis that keeps electrodeposition running reliably.

Visa sponsorship is available for the right candidate.

Tasks

  • Perform routine and investigative analysis of electroplating baths, electrolytes, and process solutions
  • Monitor plating bath chemistry: additive concentrations, metal ion levels, pH, contaminants
  • Carry out Hull cell testing and interpret results
  • Perform chemical analysis of catalysts, coatings, and system materials
  • Analytical measurements: SEM/EDX, MP-AES or ICP-OES, Ion Chromatography, UV–Vis
  • Analyse trace metals, impurities, and degradation products
  • Maintain, calibrate, and operate analytical instrumentation
  • Record, analyse, and report experimental data

Essential Skills

  • BSc or MSc in Analytical Chemistry, Chemistry, Materials Science, or related discipline
  • Practical experience with chemical analysis in a plating, surface finishing, or electrochemistry environment
  • Familiarity with electroplating bath analysis and process chemistry
  • Strong laboratory skills and attention to detail
  • Good documentation and communication skills

Desirable Skills

  • Experience with Hull cell testing
  • ICP-OES, MP-AES, spectroscopy, or chromatography experience
  • Knowledge of additive chemistry and contaminant control in plating baths
  • QC processes in surface finishing or manufacturing

Your profile

You know your way around a plating line’s analytical lab—titrations, Hull cells, and wet chemistry as second nature. You’re looking to take that expertise into a cutting-edge R&D environment where electroplating is the core technology, not a service process.

Why us?

  • Electroplating chemistry is our core technology, not a support function
  • Collaborative R&D environment at the intersection of electrochemistry and clean energy
  • Competitive salary and benefits
  • Develop your career in a high-growth deep-tech company

About Us

Electrogenos is building technology to make green hydrogen competitive at scale. We focus on reducing the cost and complexity of hydrogen production so it can replace fossil-based alternatives across real-world applications.

We’re an early-stage team working at the intersection of electrochemistry, manufacturing, and deployment. Our approach is practical by design: use scalable materials and processes, and validate performance through close collaboration with partners.

If you want to work on hard problems with real climate impact—and help take breakthrough technology from concept to deployment—join us.
