- Perform root cause analysis to understand and mitigate materials degradation mechanisms
- Create standard operating procedures for new, routine characterization efforts
- Generate publication-quality internal report to document all research activity and to propose future work
What You'll Bring:
- Passion for our mission, sustainability, and climate change
- BS or MS in materials science, electrochemistry, or electrochemical engineering or related fields
- 2+ years experience in collaborative, lab-based materials research or product development environment
- Ability to perform and interpret data from material characterization techniques (e.g., microscopy, XRD, ICP, XPS, SEM, EDS)
- Prior experience in either electrochemical/battery testing or material processing
- High attention to detail, excellent organizational, and communication skills
- Comfortable organizing and analyzing datasets with scientific programming languages, such as MATLAB or Python
