- Review and understand scientific and technical literature
- Execute supervised R&D projects in the area of electrochemical energy storage systems
- Explore new cathode, electrolyte, separator, and anode materials and/or modifications for improved cell performance with supervision
- Prepare electrode slurries with different formulations
- Fabricate battery components and assemble coin and pouch cells for testing
- Design, establish, and write standard operating procedures, risk assessments, and effective experimental plans for assigned equipment and processes
- Calibrate/maintain the assigned equipment
- Perform laboratory analyses, evaluate the results, and clearly present reports to the team and suggest new pathways
- Work in glovebox and dry room battery fabrication line
- Manage general laboratory inventory (e.g., consumable inventory)
- Work collaboratively with partnering collaborators and research groups
- Work in a laboratory environment within a team of multidisciplinary and multicultural researchers
- Participate in routine housekeeping
Qualifications
- Candidates must hold an internationally recognised diploma (polytechnic), bachelor or master degree in chemistry, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, material science/engineering or related field
- Team-player, self-motivation, proactivity, intellectual curiosity, and desire to learn
- Able to troubleshoot and perform root cause analysis
- Technical depth, critical thinking, and excellent communication skills
- Experience with design and build battery cells from coin cell to pouch cell configurations
- Experience with electrochemical cell characterizations, e.g., cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and potentiostatic and galvanostatic methods
- Hands-on experience in evaluation of the battery components, battery performance, and analytical techniques, e.g., SEM, XRD, TEM, FTIR, NMR, and XPS
- Experience working in dry room battery fabrication line
- Experience with pouch cell abusing test preferred but not required
- Previous experience working in an industrial environment or in R&D projects with industrial partners
Covid-19 Message
