Scientist - Cell Engineer (Battery)

Posted on behalf of

LiNa Energy

A developer of high-performance solid-state sodium batteries designed to offer safety, sustainability, and lower cost versus lithium-ion is currently hiring a Scientist – Cell Engineer. The successful candidate will directly contribute to the engineering and design of solid-state sodium battery cells and ultimately support the integration into modules and systems, utilising first principal design techniques.

The Scientist – Cell Engineer will:

• Contribute to the development and maintenance of documentation including design specifications, test plans, and user manuals such as SOP’s.
• Work with the cell testing team to engineer cell designs that can impact parameters such as sealing and cell interfaces (for example cathode current collection).
• Continually refine design and testing protocols alongside the testing and engineering team to ultimately optimise the cell design and cell testing methodology.
• Collaborate with external suppliers and vendors to source components or materials, tools, or services required for cell engineering and development.
• Contribute to the engineering and development of novel planar battery cells, modules, systems and products, in line with the company roadmap, strategy, and product delivery schedule.

The Scientist – Cell Engineer will have:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Chemical, Mechanical or Electrochemical engineering or a closely related field.
• A strong understanding of the principles of battery operation and electrochemical fundamentals.
• 3+ years in battery cell or electrochemical energy conversion cell development, with experience in translation of cell design changes and quantifying these electrochemically.
• Experience working within a laboratory and operating within a glovebox environment.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively in a team environment.
• Experience of cell development, testing, or simulation, with mathematical modelling and design experience an advantage.
• Ability to collaborate across disciplines and departments, with focus on commercialisation and on novel research and development
