Plasma Researcher

Are you passionate about plasma physics and looking for the opportunity to see your scientific work directly influence live technology? This is an opportunity to join a growing clean technology business developing specialist plasma systems for low-cost hydrogen production. Unlike a traditional academic research environment, ideas can move from hypothesis to live testing extremely quickly, potentially within 24 hours. You will work closely with the physical technology, analyse real development data and see your research progress through into practical testing. What makes this role different You will work alongside Mechanical and Electrical Engineers, using your scientific knowledge and data-analysis capability to help inform design decisions, test programmes and future technology development. You will be given the autonomy and intellectual freedom to pursue credible hypotheses that address real technical challenges facing the business. These currently include: Improving the longevity and reliability of plasma torches. Understanding and optimising the wider balance of plant. Improving conversion performance and process efficiency. Investigating and preventing components from overheating. Identifying the physical causes behind unexpected test results. You will join a technically curious and collaborative team, with weekly technical reviews, regular brainstorming and the opportunity to take ownership and grow quickly within the role.
