Job Details:
#17775 R&D Scientist, Electrochemistry - Advanced Batteries

Area: Los Angeles, CA



Position:

Conduct research, development, and qualification of new electrochemical systems (not Li ion-type, although similar concepts may apply). The successful candidate will display an extensive knowledge of electrochemical materials and analytical methods, particularly concerning the chemical and/or physical coating of electrode materials and the characterization of solid-liquid interfaces. A background in the development and testing of rechargeable battery systems is preferred.



Responsibilities:

- Devise, perform, and optimize methods for coating electrode materials to enhance electrochemical performance (e.g., electronic and ionic conductivity, thermal and chemical stability).

- Investigate detailed physical and chemical properties of electrode surfaces after electrochemical reaction (e.g., characterization of surface species and reaction pathways, electrolyte stability).

- Identify and prepare improved electrolyte formulations (e.g., solvent type, additives); correlate electrochemical performance with surface, coating and electrolyte properties.- Analyze and report data to assist R&D team with systems evaluation.- Search and review scientific and technical literature to guide future development.



Requirements:

- PhD in Electrochemistry, Materials Science or Physical Chemistry, or MS with 5+ years' industrial experience.

- Self-starter, highly creative and detail-focused, good written and oral communication skills.

- Demonstrated background in the development of electrode coating methods (e.g., sputtering, sol-gel, deposition, milling), electroanalysis (e.g., voltammetry, impedance spectroscopy, cell fabrication and testing), and surface analytical techniques (e.g., XPS, IR, SEM, TEM), working in controlled atmosphere (e.g., glovebox, dry room).
