Senior Unit Cell Engineer, R&D

• Develop new unit cell architecture and components, particularly bipolar plate and frame, to improve reliability while reducing cost and complexity. • Develop novel sealing, manufacturing and assembly processes for components and assemblies, e.g. injection moulding, plastic welding, bonding. • Select appropriate materials for components based on their electrochemical and mechanical properties, working with materials and chemistry experts. • Source and verify prototype components, design and build test cells and fixtures, and develop testing methods to evaluate unit cell performance and reliability. • Conduct electrochemical and post-mortem analysis to identify the root causes of cell failures. • Support the transfer of de-risked technology to product development teams according to the technology roadmap. • Use mathematical modeling to understand and improve complex electrochemical and transport phenomena within the cell.

• At least 6 years demonstrated experience in a similar role • A strong understanding of electrochemical cell design and operation. • Knowledge of materials used in energy storage, including polymers, carbon-based materials, and electrolytes. • Experience in low- and high-volume manufacturing methods such as machining, forming, injection moulding, plastic welding. • Expertise in designing and specifying physical components such as bipolar plates, seals, frames. • Familiarity with battery testing, failure analysis, and performance optimization. • Proficiency in CAD software (Onshape preferred) for creating and refining component designs. • Project management experience is desirable. • Eligible to live and work in Canada. • Registered or eligible to register with EGBC as a PEng or EIT.
