Electrochemical Engineer II/III​

The role

The Electrochemical Engineer will characterize the electrochemical performance of electrolyte materials. This role involves executing testing methods, analyzing data, and translating results to support product development and scale-up activities.

What you will do

• Design, execute, and interpret electrochemical experiments to evaluate electrolyte products.
• Translate electrochemical feedback into product and process improvements.
• Correlate electrolyte processing conditions, material properties, and microstructure to electrochemical performance.
• Perform electrochemical characterization including EIS, CV, CCD testing, DC polarization, rate capability testing, and long-term cycling studies.
• Support the development and refinement of characterization methods and analytical approaches.
• Apply statistical and data analysis tools to evaluate experimental results.
• Contribute to root-cause investigations involving material performance and process changes.
• Analyze, visualize, and communicate complex electrochemical datasets to stakeholders.

Required qualifications

• B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Electrochemistry, Materials Science & Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or a related technical field.
• Minimum 3 years of relevant experience developing or applying electrochemical characterization methods in batteries, solid-state batteries, electrochemical materials, or related technologies.
• Working knowledge of electrochemical techniques including EIS, CV, galvanostatic cycling, CCD testing, and DC polarization.
• Strong understanding of structure-property-performance relationships in electrochemical systems.
• Experience designing statistically sound experimental plans (DOE) and analyzing large datasets.
• Proficiency with data analysis and statistical software (JMP, Minitab, Python, MATLAB, Origin, or similar).
• Experience with root cause analysis, troubleshooting, and cross-functional technical problem solving.
• Ability to communicate complex technical findings clearly.
• Ability to independently execute technical workstreams.
• Required to wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including eye protection, hair net, gloves, face mask, coveralls, full-face respirator or PAPR.
