The Senior Electrochemist will play a key role in shaping battery testing and validation capability, supporting the development of next-generation energy storage materials and cell technologies. Working at the interface between research and industrialisation, you will lead electrochemical investigations, establish testing methodologies and ensure high-quality data supports future product development and manufacturing activities.

The Senior Electrochemist will be responsible for:

Leading electrochemical testing and validation activities for advanced battery materials and cell technologies.
Designing and implementing test methodologies for cylindrical, pouch and prismatic cell formats.
Defining equipment requirements and supporting the development of testing capabilities within the facility.
Conducting and interpreting galvanostatic charge/discharge, cyclic voltammetry (CV), EIS, rate capability and cycle-life studies.
Coordinating validation programmes, including oversight of third-party testing activities.
Analysing electrochemical data to identify performance improvements and degradation mechanisms.
The Senior Electrochemist will have:

A PhD in Electrochemistry, Chemistry, Physics or a related discipline.
Industrial experience within battery manufacturing, a gigafactory environment or an independent testing organisation.
Hands-on experience testing cylindrical, pouch and prismatic battery cells.
Expertise in electrochemical characterisation techniques, including galvanostatic testing, CV, EIS and cycle-life analysis.
Experience assembling and testing battery cells.
Strong data analysis and interpretation skills.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys combining hands-on electrochemical testing with technical leadership, helping to bridge the gap between research and large-scale deployment. If this opportunity is of interest, apply online with an up-to-date copy of your CV and we will be in touch shortly
