The Senior Electrochemist will play a key role in shaping battery testing and validation capability, supporting the development of next-generation energy storage materials and cell technologies. Working at the interface between research and industrialisation, you will lead electrochemical investigations, establish testing methodologies and ensure high-quality data supports future product development and manufacturing activities.
The Senior Electrochemist will be responsible for:
- Leading cell validation & electrochemical investigations & activities for advanced battery materials and cell technologies.
- Research team are coming up with chemistries & formulations, they will then interface with you on validation.
- Interdepartmental collaboration i,e. modelling, degradation mechanisms
- Designing and implementing test methodologies for cylindrical, pouch and prismatic cell formats.
- Defining equipment requirements and supporting the development of testing capabilities within the facility.
- Conducting and interpreting galvanostatic charge/discharge, cyclic voltammetry (CV), EIS, rate capability and cycle-life studies.
- Coordinating validation programmes, including oversight of third-party testing activities.
- Analysing electrochemical data to identify performance improvements and degradation mechanisms.
The Senior Electrochemist will have:
- A PhD in Electrochemistry, Chemistry, Physics or a related discipline.
- Industrial experience within battery manufacturing, a gigafactory environment or an independent testing organisation.
- Hands-on experience testing cylindrical, pouch and prismatic battery cells.
- Expertise in electrochemical characterisation techniques, including galvanostatic testing, CV, EIS and cycle-life analysis.
- Experience assembling and testing battery cells.
- Strong data analysis and interpretation skills.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys combining hands-on electrochemical testing with technical leadership, helping to bridge the gap between research and large-scale deployment. If this opportunity is of interest, apply online with an up-to-date copy of your CV and we will be in touch shortly.
