Cathode Design Engineer

Responsibilities

• Conduct design of experiments to gather relevant data to guide scale-up design, inform process parameter tolerances, improve material performance, and reduce production costs
• Provide engineering expertise (such as mass and energy balance, flowsheet, and process simulation) to identify, develop, and implement process technologies for the scale-up and production of cathode active materials (CAM)
• Interface with equipment suppliers through concept development, system design, detailed design, procurement, installation, and acceptance testing
• Create intellectual property (IP) and collaborate with the legal team to write and file patent applications
• Provide technical expertise to commercial and business development teams, senior management, and key stakeholders

Requirements

• Advanced degree (BS or MS) in an engineering or material science discipline
• Evidence of exceptional ability, including strong understanding of engineering fundamentals and demonstrated ability to leverage this understanding to solve challenging problems
• 1–5 years of industrial experience in relevant areas such as process development and scale-up, process engineering, and technology management
• Technical expertise in inorganic materials processes including solids handling, hydrometallurgy, calcination, or chemical processing
• Familiarity with thermal equipment (dryers or kilns), powder loading, dosing, mixing, conveying, milling equipment, and solid-liquid separation equipment
• Ability to perform process design including mass and energy balance calculations, process flow sheet development, and simulation
• Excellent data analysis and technical presentation abilities
• Ability to manage and prioritize activities in a fast-changing environment
• Track record of building trust within internal teams and with external customers
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
