We’re supporting a growing battery technology company in hiring a Battery Product Engineer to help develop and optimise porous silicon anode materials for real lithium‑ion cells. This hands‑on role sits at the intersection of materials science, electrochemistry, and product engineering, working closely with R&D teams to translate advanced material properties into high‑performance electrodes and cells. The Battery Product Engineer will:
- Prepare electrodes and assemble lithium‑ion test cells.
- Design and run experiments to evaluate electrode formulations and cell performance.
- Analyse electrochemical data (capacity, CE, degradation trends) to identify improvement paths.
- Support optimisation of electrode formulation, processing, and cell architecture.
- Collaborate with electrochemistry, materials, and process engineering teams.
- Document results, report insights, and contribute to technical development and IP.
The Battery Product Engineer will have:
- 2-5 years’ experience in battery materials, cell development, or electrochemistry.
- Hands‑on experience with lithium‑ion cell assembly and electrochemical testing.
- Strong knowledge of electrode formulation, cell design, and performance metrics.
- Ability to interpret experimental data and translate it into actionable improvements.
- Comfort working in a fast‑paced R&D or start‑up environment.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills.
Desirables – It would be beneficial if you also have:
- Experience with silicon anodes, porous materials, or advanced electrode designs.
- Exposure to DOE, modelling, or data‑driven optimisation.
- Experience in early‑stage, high‑growth tech environments.
This is a great opportunity to play a hands‑on role in developing next‑generation battery materials with real impact on product performance. If you’re excited about turning advanced materials into high‑performing lithium‑ion cells, we’d love to hear from you….
