Process Development Scientist

Posted on behalf of

Dyson

A state-of-the-art R&D laboratory facility supporting the development and testing of novel battery designs is now looking for a Process Development Scientist. This role is for the Energy Storage Team, to drive development of Processes pioneered in research through to pilot scale manufacture. Initially the role is focused on developing, identifying and de-risking cost effective manufacturing routes for production of materials currently produced on the laboratory scale.

The Process Development Scientist Will:

• Working alongside the research team to aid the development of novel products and manufacturing processes.
• Development of these to reliable and reproducible process steps, via the use of larger scale equipment
• Planning and organisation of trial programmes, to target efficient and robust proof of concept of manufacturing methods both in house and external
• Review of potential alternative and parallel technology methods to achieve the same aim
• Identify potential methods of manufacture whereby significant cost or quality improvements could be realised
• Working with partners and internal engineers to rapidly prototype solutions for trial & verification
• To lead development projects with partners and collaborators for the prototyping and engineering of equipment.

The Process Development Scientist Will Have:

• A degree in a scientific or engineering discipline.
• Multiple years of industrial experience developing processes or products.
• Experience of taking a product/idea/process from research (early phase) through to scale-up.
• Experience with managing Stakeholders including demonstrated decision influencing.
• Product & process engineering for quality & value with demonstrated improvements
• Powder handling, in particular the safety requirements around these processes and how these change with scale
