<h2>More about the science (let's nerd out a bit)</h2>
<p>Ecolectro is bringing green hydrogen to the marketplace through electrolyzers that integrate patented polymers into high performance (ionic conductivity &amp; current density) and durable stacks. Our scientists and engineers design &amp; build units with our exceptional membranes and electrodes, delivering high production rates and efficiency of pure hydrogen without the need for platinum, iridium and titanium. We continue to push the limits of electrolysis technology with an emphasis on research and willingness to challenge assumptions.</p>
<h2>Reach out (really) if we can assist with accommodations</h2>
<p>Also, we (of course) follow federal and state disability laws and are happy to better enable those with disabilities or differences (aka accommodations), during the application phase, interview process, and employment. Please email <u>careers@ecolectro.com</u> to chat with us on how we can best enable you in our process.</p>
<h2>EEOC and E-verify</h2>
<p>We are legally required to conduct EEOC reporting. While we are happy to support the intent of this federal &nbsp;requirement, we recognize that the standard questions not capture all gender identities and ethnicities, and include outdated terms we don&rsquo;t use internally. We want you to know that we celebrate all identities. For this reason, you will see the standard EEO-1 questions in our hiring system, followed by OUR questions, when you apply. &nbsp;Ecolectro participates in<a href="https://e-verify.uscis.gov/web/media/resourcesContents/E-Verify_Participation_Poster_ES.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">&nbsp;E-verify</a> - click<a href="https://www.e-verify.gov/sites/default/files/everify/posters/IER_RightToWorkPoster%20Eng_Es.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">&nbsp;here</a> to learn more.</p>
