• Analyze test data to assess material behaviours, degradation mechanisms, and cell performance trends.
• Support design and process optimization efforts to improve cell performance, safety, and manufacturability.
• Perform failure analysis to identify root causes of performance deviations and propose corrective actions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including cell design, process, and quality groups—to ensure consistent material evaluation standards and test methodologies.
• Prepare technical documentation, data summaries, and reports to support engineering decisions and project reviews.
• Stay informed on advancements in Li battery materials, analysis techniques, and relevant industry standards.
• Execute assigned evaluation and analysis tasks in consultation with senior engineers and contribute to achieving project milestones.

Qualifications and Experience

• BSc or MSc in Chemical/Material/Electrical Engineering, and Chemistry.
• Experience and good understanding in evaluation, testing, or analysis of Li battery cells or related materials.
• Proficiency in analytical and electrochemical testing methods (e.g., EIS, charge/discharge cycling, material characterization).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to data integrity and reproducibility.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills within a multidisciplinary R&D environment.

Specific skills

• Hands-on experience with electrochemical testing (charge/discharge, EIS, CV).
• Proficiency in data analysis tools (Excel, Origin, Python preferred).
• Familiarity with material characterization techniques (XRD, SEM, ICP).
• Understanding of laboratory QA/QC principles.
• Ability to follow established test protocols with precision and consistency.
