Apply NowWorking at the intersection of electrochemistry, operando characterisation and product development, the Application Scientist will play a key role in expanding the capabilities of a cutting-edge battery analysis platform. This role combines hands-on laboratory work with product development, supporting the creation of new experimental workflows, specialised test hardware and advanced data analysis approaches that help customers gain deeper insights into battery behaviour and performance.
The Application Scientist will be responsible for:
Designing and optimising experimental workflows across a range of battery chemistries
Developing and refining bespoke operando battery cell designs to improve performance, usability and manufacturability
Using CAD software to design components and support rapid prototyping activities
Preparing battery electrodes and assembling laboratory-scale test cells
Analysing electrochemical, imaging and multidimensional datasets to support product and application development
Presenting technical findings and recommendations to customers, collaborators and internal teams
Supporting scientific collaborations, customer demonstrations, training activities and industry events
The Application Scientist will have:
An MSc or PhD in Electrochemistry, Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Engineering or a related discipline
Hands-on experience working with lithium-ion or other advanced battery technologies
Experience in battery cell assembly and electrochemical testing
A strong understanding of battery chemistries and electrochemical processes
Strong CAD capability and experience designing technical components
Excellent data analysis and experimental problem-solving skills
Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with customers and multidisciplinary teams
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys developing new experimental approaches, solving practical engineering challenges and working closely with customers to advance battery technology.
