Job Description
Monday - Friday, 9:00am - 6:00pm
Key Responsibilities
- Identify, evaluate, and process feedstocks for generating high-purity porous carbons.
- Design and execute material studies to optimize the thermal conversion processes of precursors into high-quality porous carbons.
- Utilize internal and external experimental data, statistical techniques, and design of experiment (DOE) to develop process-properties-performance models and define material specifications.
- Work with external partners to optimize raw material properties and processes to meet our performance targets.
- Collaborate with technical leads and adjacent groups to establish product development standards and set technical specifications.
- Proactively identify safety hazards and work cooperatively to implement improvements.
Requirements
- You are an innovative and results-driven scientist with a passion for pushing the boundaries of clean energy technology. You are a creative, diligent, resourceful, and hands-on technical contributor dedicated to driving critical initiatives for our input materials. You have a strong background in polymer chemistry and/or material science, synthesis, and characterization of advanced materials. Your ability to interpret and utilize analytical data will be key to driving design improvements and optimizing cost-effective precursor materials. You approach challenges methodically, employing strong analytics skills to assess complex problems and develop effective, data driven solutions. You are excited to combine a mix of theoretical and empirical knowledge and reduce to practice concepts developed in the laboratory and take them to commercial scale production.
- Degree in Chemistry, Material Science, or equivalent with minimum of 8+ years (Bachelor’s degree), 6+ years (Master’s degree), or 4+ years (Ph.D.) of industry experience.
- Extensive hands-on experience transforming precursors into porous carbons and a strong background in polymer and carbon analytical characterization techniques.
- Experience synthesizing materials, characterizing properties and measuring impact of properties on product / device performance. Familiarity with electrochemical testing is preferred.
- Track record of bringing new processes and products from concept phase through New Product Introduction (NPI) a plus.
- Proficiency in statistical analysis, knowledge of Design of Experiments (DOE) is a plus.
