Engineering and r&D

Job Description:

• Use newly developed electrode materials to perform the assembly and pilot-scale production of battery cells of different formats and specifications, and iteratively study cell design and material formulation using electroanalytical methods.
• Develop comprehensive battery test protocols to study key design and performance parameters in different charging/discharging regimes.
• Design framework to enable the electrode mass production process characterisation for different product (electrode material) iterations.
• Collaborate very closely with a diverse team of material scientists and battery application engineers to improve cell performance and reliability to expedite the commercialisation of new novel materials.
• Work and brainstorm with core team to identify and pursue new opportunities for improvement and next generation products. 

Desired Qualifications:

• Masters/PhD in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or related disciplines.
• 5 or more years of total R&D experience, out of which atleast 2 years must be in an industrial/corporate R&D setting. (experience/expertise in electrode/cell manufacturing is a significant plus).
• Familiarity with battery cell testing in conjunction with various power electronics formats and at a pack level.
• Conscientious, curious, deliberate thought process. Ability to record and communicate research findings in presentations and open discussions.

Job Description:

• Process characterisation for new electrode product iterations made for pilot scale and mass-production.  
• Perform electrode fabrication on a pilot scale, develop internal QC processes and modify existing workflows to confirm to QC standards
• Iterate with a diverse team of battery cell engineers and material scientists developing our high capacity battery material to ensure production scalability under factory conditions.

Desired Qualifications:

• Bachelors/Masters in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics or related disciplines. 
• 4 or more experience of on-site industrial experience in Li-ion battery electrode sourcing, slurry preparation and coating and electrode fabrication experience. 

Job Description:
