Descripción del empleo

As a Laboratory Technician, you will prepare electrode materials, fabricate sheet‑type electrodes, and run electrochemical experiments in support of ongoing R&D and scale‑up efforts. You will work closely with electrochemists and engineers to ensure consistent, well‑documented lab operations.

This is a hands‑on, execution‑focused role requiring precision, consistency, and strong lab discipline.

What You'll Do

• Fabricate sheet‑type electrodes, including slurry preparation, forming, calendaring, and punching/cutting to spec.
• Assemble electrochemical test cells (e.g., three‑electrode systems, flow cells, or custom lab setups) for experimentation.
• Run electrochemical experiments and characterization tests, such as cyclic voltammetry, EIS, and galvanostatic/potentiostatic cycling.
• Operate and maintain lab equipment, including potentiostats/galvanostats, mixers, coaters, and press equipment.
• Track and record experimental parameters, results, and observations with high attention to detail.
• Maintain lab organization, inventory of materials/consumables, and equipment calibration schedules.
• Follow and help refine standard operating procedures (SOPs) for electrode fabrication and testing.
• Support troubleshooting of process or equipment issues as they arise.
• Collaborate with the engineering team to relay experimental feedback that informs system and process design.
• Adhere to lab safety protocols, including proper handling of chemicals and electrochemical materials.

Qualifications

• Preferred bachelor's degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field, or equivalent hands‑on laboratory experience
• Prior experience working in a lab environment (academic, industry, or applied research)

Core Requirements

• Strong attention to detail and ability to follow precise experimental protocols
• Comfort working with lab chemicals and adherence to safety practices

Preferred

• Hands‑on experience with electrode fabrication or materials preparation (e.g., slurry mixing, coating, casting)
• Familiarity with electrochemical testing equipment (potentiostats, cyclers, or similar)
• Background in battery, fuel cell, or electrolysis electrode fabrication
• Familiarity with data analysis tools (Excel, Origin, Python, or similar)
• Exposure to pilot‑scale or scale‑up lab environments

What We're Looking For

• A detail‑oriented, reliable mindset — comfortable with repetitive, precision‑driven lab work
• Strong organizational habits and clear documentation practices
• Ability to work well within a small, fast‑paced team
• High ownership and willingness to take initiative

Compensation

Competitive salary and benefits, commensurate with experience
