FPT Motorenforschung AG in Arbon has around 250 highly qualified employees working with commitment and acknowledged
success. As the main innovation center for FPT Industrial, the site is involved in developing FPT Industrials’ future powertrain
solutions (not only in electrified powertrains, hybrids and fuel cells, but also novel engines concepts and alternative fuels) and is
therefore at the forefront of a transition towards a future of alternative propulsion systems.

Marie Curie Fellowship in Fuel Cell Development

As a member of the Fuel Cells Team in the Electrified Powertrain Engineering division of FPT Industrial, you will be part of a highly
skilled team driven to analyse and engineer best-in-class fuel cell systems for FPT Industrial electrified powertrain product portfolio.
You will support the engineering, development and integration of fuel cells into fully electric powertrains. You will be contributing to
the development of advanced concepts as well as their implementation for application to on-road and off-road applications.

Your tasks

• Development of several models to predict fuel cell stack durability for commercial applications for use in different levels
  and stages of design of the fuel cell system


• Literature research related to degradation phenomena of fuel cell stack components


• Design of experiments to collect required data for development and validation of models


• Development of new diagnostic tools and methods to measure new parameters previously not thought of


• Data analysis of test data and post processing for model development


• Development of accelerated stress tests for key fuel cell stack components (MEA and bipolar plates)


• Interfacing with other institutions and coordinating potential work packages to be executed by universities (ETH / PSI)

Your profile

• holding Ph.D. in the field of fuel cells by September 2021 (MSCA requirement)


• have a maximum of 8 years full-time equivalent experience in research after PhD, by September 2021 (MSCA requirement)


• less than 1 year living in Switzerland in the past 3 years (MSCA requirement)


• expert in the field of fuel cell stack durability and modelling of complex electrochemical phenomena


• very good knowledge of programming in MATLAB/Simulink or Python


• very good knowledge of statistical concepts to aid in experimental planning, data interpretation and processing


• strong analytical skills


• pro-active, self-starter, able to troubleshoot test stations and test hardware


• Able to manage budget, time plans and ordering of parts for experiments


• fluent English

The selected researcher will be contacted for MSCA development and training opportunity. We will support the candidate to prepare
and submit the proposal. The candidates, whose proposal will be accepted by EU, will work with the fuel cell team at FPT.
