ionysis is looking for a Student Assistance / HiWi
ionysis develops next-generation membrane electrode assemblies for electrochemical converters. Spun out from the university in 2022 and based inFreiburg, we are looking for a student assistance / Hiwi student (f/m/d). You will support our fuel cell tech team with the fabrication of laboratory samples and electrochemical testing of novel components and materials.
What we do
To stop climate change and reach Net Zero, ionysis seeks to decarbonize mobility and industry with innovative electrochemical devices. We focus on the core of any electrochemical converter: the membrane electrode assembly (MEA). We develop and manufacture MEAs based on most performant fluorine-free materials for hydrogen technology, including fuel cells and electrolysers. As a spin-off from Hahn-Schickard and the University of Freiburg, we combine scientific excellence with entrepreneurial spirit to bring our innovations to market and scale.

Assist in the fabrication of catalyst-coated membranes (CCMs) using spray-coating and scalable coating methods
Operate and maintain fuel cell test benches for electrochemical performance evaluation
Conduct data analysis and documentation of results
Support general laboratory organization and experimental setup
Your qualifications
Strong team player and getting-things-done mentality
Enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program in chemical engineering, materials science, microsystems engineering, physics, or a related field (e.g. Sustainable Systems or Sustainable materials)
Interest in fuel cells, electrolysis, electrochemistry, or energy materials.
Practical skills in laboratory work; experience with coating, printing, or electrochemical measurements is an advantage.
Independent, reliable, and team-oriented working style.
Proficiency with common office software
Business fluency in English
What we offer
Opportunity to join a leading German green-tech start-up
A young and diverse team with flat hierarchies, valuing collaboration with each other no matter your role at ionysis
Modern & well-equipped offices and labs in Freiburg on the campus of the technical faculty
Flexible working hours with around 40h / month
Minimum employment duration of 6 months
Possibility for extension and pursing a B.Sc. / M.Sc. thesis
