Unit Cell Engineer, R&D

Description

• Support the transfer of de-risked technology to product development teams according to the technology roadmap.
• Conduct electrochemical and post-mortem analysis to identify the root causes of cell failures.
• Source and verify prototype components, design and build test cells and fixtures, and develop testing methods to evaluate unit cell performance and reliability.
• Use mathematical modeling to understand and improve complex electrochemical and transport phenomena within the cell.
• Select appropriate materials for components based on their electrochemical and mechanical properties, working with materials and chemistry experts.
• Develop new unit cell architecture and components, particularly bipolar plate and frame, to improve reliability while reducing cost and complexity.
• Develop novel sealing, manufacturing and assembly processes for components and assemblies, e.g. injection moulding, plastic welding, bonding.

Requirements

• Expertise in designing and specifying physical components such as bipolar plates, seals, frames.
• Project management experience is desirable.
• Knowledge of materials used in energy storage, including polymers, carbon-based materials, and electrolytes.
• Proficiency in CAD software (Onshape preferred) for creating and refining component designs.
• At least 3 years demonstrated experience in a similar role
• Familiarity with battery testing, failure analysis, and performance optimization.
• Eligible to live and work in Canada.
• Registered or eligible to register with EGBC as a PEng or EIT.
• Experience in low- and high-volume manufacturing methods such as machining, forming, injection moulding, plastic welding.
• A strong understanding of electrochemical cell design and operation
