Research Scientist - Solid State Electrolyte

Description

 Develop and optimize solid-state electrolytes (oxide, polymer, or composite) and their integration with electrodes for scalable manufacturing.

 Provide technical input for collaborations with suppliers, customers, and external partners.

 Support intellectual property (IP) generation through patents and technical documentation.

 Lead process development for slurry preparation, coating, densification, and cell assembly with a focus on reproducibility and cost-effectiveness.

 Work closely with process engineers to transition materials and processes from lab to pilot-scale production.

 Conduct electrochemical performance evaluation (cycling, rate capability, safety, interfacial stability) to benchmark against industrial standards.

 Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and environmental standards in all lab and pilot-scale activities.

Requirements

 Industry experience in a battery manufacturing or energy storage company.

 Familiarity with pilot-line operations, coating technologies, and dry/wet processing methods.

 Knowledge of supply chain requirements for solid-state battery materials.

 Excellent data analysis, technical reporting, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

 Exposure to end-to-end product development from materials discovery to pilot-scale production.

 Proven experience in solid-state battery development with demonstrated contributions in material optimization and cell integration.

 Hands-on expertise in electrode–electrolyte interfaces, cell assembly (coin/pouch), and electrochemical testing.

We are looking for an experienced Solid-State Battery Scientist-Electrolytes to join our advanced R&D and product development team. The candidate will contribute to the design, scale-up, and integration of solid-state battery technologies with a strong focus on translating lab-scale innovation into manufacturable solutions. This position requires a balance of hands-on experimentation, problem-solving, and collaboration with engineering and manufacturing teams.

 Strong background in process development and scale-up of solid-state materials or electrodes.

 Experience contributing to IP, tech transfer, or commercialization projects.

 PhD in Electrochemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or related discipline.

Benefits

 Dynamic and collaborative work environment with clear career progression.

 Opportunity to work on cutting-edge solid-state battery commercialization.

 Competitive salary and benefits package.
