• Minimum of master’s degree with a focus on chemistry, materials science, electrochemistry, or a related discipline.
• 2+ years of industry experience in development of lithium ion or solid-state batteries preferred.
• Robust understanding of battery performance metrics, degradation mechanisms, and failure modes.
• Experience in statistical analysis and data interpretation techniques for deriving meaningful insights from test results.
• A history of performing and analyzing electrochemical impedance experiments is preferred.
• Strong technical communication skills and the ability to communicate complex ideas to diverse audiences.
• Experience in material characterization techniques including XRD, SEM/EDS, DSC/TGA, and particle size analysis a plus.
• Leadership experience is a plus.

Physical Requirements:

• Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk.
• Ability to work in a dry room environment and wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as necessary including, but not limited to eye protection, hair net, gloves, face mask, coveralls, full-face respirator or PAPR.
