Solid-State Battery Scientist- Electrolytes
About the Role
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.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and optimize solid-state electrolytes (oxide, polymer, or composite) and their integration with electrodes for scalable manufacturing.
Lead process development for slurry preparation, coating, densification, and cell assembly with a focus on reproducibility and cost-effectiveness.
Conduct electrochemical performance evaluation (cycling, rate capability, safety, interfacial stability) to benchmark against industrial standards.
Work closely with process engineers to transition materials and processes from lab to pilot-scale production.
Support intellectual property (IP) generation through patents and technical documentation.
Provide technical input for collaborations with suppliers, customers, and external partners.
Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and environmental standards in all lab and pilot-scale activities.
Qualifications
PhD in Electrochemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or related discipline.
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.
Strong background in process development and scale-up of solid-state materials or electrodes.
Excellent data analysis, technical reporting, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Preferred Qualifications
3 plus year 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.
Experience contributing to IP, tech transfer, or commercialization projects.
What We Offer
Opportunity to work on cutting-edge solid-state battery commercialization.
Exposure to end-to-end product development from materials discovery to pilot-scale production.
Competitive salary and benefits package.
Dynamic and collaborative work environment with clear career progression.
