Senior Battery Engineer We are seeking a highly motivated

Senior Battery Engineer

with strong hands‑on experience in

solid‑state battery development ,

electrochemistry , and

thin‑film processes . This role focuses on

advancing next‑generation solid‑state Microbattery technologies , including material optimization, prototype fabrication, and cell‑level performance testing.

The engineer will work in a fast‑paced, collaborative R&D environment and will contribute directly to

developing ultra‑high‑performance solid‑state Microbatteries

for consumer, medical, industrial, and IoT applications.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and optimize

solid‑state cell architectures , with emphasis on cathode materials and solid electrolyte interfaces.

Engineer and evaluate

anode‑free cell configurations , including deposition, interface stability, and electrochemical performance.

Integrate cathodes with solid electrolytes to improve cycle life, reliability, and rate capability.

Perform

hands‑on cell fabrication , including thin‑film electrolyte deposition, cathode layering, and full‑cell assembly.

Conduct cell‑level testing (cycling, EIS, impedance growth, DC polarization) and interpret data to pinpoint performance limitations.

Characterize electrochemical behavior using

EIS, CV, cyclic testing , and correlate results to material and interface properties.

Diagnose and troubleshoot cell failures through structured root‑cause analysis and propose corrective solutions.

Support

thin‑film deposition processes

(sputtering, ALD, evaporation) for electrolyte and electrode layers.

Collaborate with cross‑functional teams on cell design, prototyping, and process scale‑up.

Education & Experience

MS or PhD

in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Electrochemistry, or a related field

3+ years

directly related to

solid‑state batteries, electrochemistry, or cell development

Must Have Technical Skills

Hands‑on experience with

solid electrolytes

(LiPON, sulfides, garnets, or polymer‑based).

Strong knowledge of

thin‑film deposition

(sputtering required; ALD or evaporation a plus).

Experience in

solid‑state cell fabrication

and

prototyping

(electrolyte deposition, cathode integration, full‑cell assembly).

Proficient in

electrochemical testing

(EIS, cycling, impedance analysis, capacity fade diagnostics).

Ability to perform

failure analysis

and troubleshoot cell performance issues.

Seniority Level Mid‑Senior level

Employment Type Contract

Industries Manufacturing, Engineering Services, and Glass Product Manufacturing
