We are currently looking for a Senior Scientist – Microstructure for our client, a pioneer in cutting-edge battery technology is currently. The successful candidate will focus on microstructural optimisation measured through battery performance, and developing the understanding of key microstructural parameters through multi-physics modelling.

The Senior Scientist – Microstructure will:

• Contribute to the continued improvement of cathode performance in cell technologies with a focus on optimization of microstructures and how this varies as a function of composition in line with the company roadmap, strategy, and product delivery schedule.
• Develop and maintain documentation including design specifications, test plans, and user manuals such as SOP’s.
• Maintain awareness of literature, ideate on new potential routes, and propose technical advances.

The Senior Scientist – Microstructure will have:

• 3+ years in 3D-electrode development in electrochemical systems (batteries, fuel cells etc)
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in chemistry, materials science, chemical engineering or a closely related field.
• Experience with characterisation of microstructures through techniques such as cross-sectional SEM, FIBSEM, BET etc.
• A fundamental understanding of electrochemical devices, including the formation of interfaces and SEIs in batteries and the major mechanisms governing these
• Significant academic or industrial experience in relevant computer software (COMSOL, etc.)
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively in a team environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
