Battery Research Scientist: Lithium Batteries On-Site

Precise Systems Inc.; Washington (District of Columbia); In loco; USD 108.000 - 129.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Precise Systems seeks a Battery Research Scientist to advance testing and characterization of rechargeable battery chemistries, including lithium-metal and lithium-ion, on-site. The role involves designing experiments, analyzing data, and communicating results within an interdisciplinary team.

Required is a PhD in Engineering in a STEM field, 3–5 years post-doctoral experience, and hands-on electrochemical lab expertise. Candidates must obtain a Secret clearance and U.S. Citizenship is required.

Competenze

• 3-5 years of post-doctoral research that demonstrates mastery of the subject matter and abilities listed above.
• Hands-on laboratory expertise in battery electrode preparation and electrochemical testing, specifically electroanalytical chemistry techniques and operando materials characterization methodologies as applied to chemistries including but not limited to lithium-metal and lithium-ion using a variety of electrolytes.
• Development and application of customized electrochemical test fixtures which enable operando spectroscopy is of particular interest.
• Expertise in conventional ex situ materials characterization techniques (e.g. x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, vibrational spectroscopy) are also desired.

Mansioni

• Lead efforts that involve designing and executing experimental plans to assess the performance and degradation of commercial and lab-built electrochemical cells under a variety of experimental conditions.
• Collect and analyze large data sets, regularly communicate progress toward programmatic objectives with an interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers, and summarize findings into technical reports, journal publications, and conference presentations.
