Job Details:
#17774 R&D Scientist, Electrode Materials Development – Advanced Batteries

Area: Los Angeles, CA



Position:

Conduct research, development, and qualification of electrode materials for new electrochemical systems (not Li ion-type electrodes, although similar materials concepts may apply). The successful candidate will display an extensive background in the synthesis and characterization of inorganic materials, with substantial understanding of electrochemistry and electrochemical techniques. A background in the development and testing of rechargeable battery electrode materials is preferred.



Responsibilities:

- Devise, perform, and optimize synthesis and analysis of new electrode materials.

- Investigate detailed physical and chemical properties of solid-state materials (e.g. crystal structure, phase purity, particle morphology, thermal stability, porosity), in the bulk and in electrode assemblies.

- Execute and analyze electrochemical tests of promising electrode materials; perform in-situ analytical experiments; correlate performance with material properties.- Analyze and report data to assist R&D team with material and electrode evaluation.

- Search and review scientific and technical literature to guide future materials development.



Requirements:

- PhD in Materials Science or Solid-State Inorganic 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 energy storage materials using various synthetic (e.g., hydrothermal, co-precipitation, milling, alloying), analytical (e.g., XRD, SEM, TGA, DSC, AA, BET) and electrochemical techniques (cell fabrication and testing), working in controlled atmosphere (e.g., glovebox, dry room).
