WORK HISTORY
Stack Engineering Intern @Fourier
Mountain View, CA, US
As part of the stack engineering team, I\'m involved in the product development of PEM electrolyzer stacks, bridging materials engineering, electrochemistry, and manufacturability to improve stack performance. I am also involved in standardizing our procedures, building custom test setups including a compression tester to study gasket fatigue and creep at elevated temperatures, and a dry N₂ leak tester to quantify pressure decayLeveraging my background in corrosion and welding, I am also driving initiatives to introduce surface passivation strategies for critical components to mitigate degradation, improve durability, and enhance long-term system reliability
EDUCATION
University of Illinois Chicago
Master's degree, Materials Science
National Institute of Technology Karnataka
Bachelor of Technology - BTech, Materials Science
ABOUT SHANMUGA SUNDARAM RAJESH
I’m a Materials Science and Engineering graduate with 2+ years of combined experience in failure analysis, corrosion testing, reliability engineering, and inspection across both industrial and research environments.My work spans hands-on projects in the oil & gas industry—where I conducted RCAs, optimized metallurgy, and improved equipment reliability— to research at Argonne National Lab, where I studied hydrogen embrittlement, corrosion behavior of alloys, and contributed to making simulated nuclear fuel using techniques like SEM, EDS, XRD, sintering, and electrochemical testing.I’m especially interested in roles that sit at the intersection of materials performance, process optimization, and root cause analysis. With experience working cross-functionally with operations, safety, and inspection teams, I enjoy translating complex material behavior into actionable engineering solutions that improve plant uptime and safety.Currently open to full-time opportunities in materials, reliability, or process engineering.
