Part Time Battery Scientist Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Battery Anode Materials Engineer / Scientist / Product Developer for leading synthetic graphite grade development and delivering advantaged products with differentiated performance in lithium ion battery cells. The role will work closely with other functions (marketing, sales and innovation group) and will maintain continual open/working interfaces with Customer and Application Developers, Process Technologists and Researchers in the development of these materials. Scope of effort covers initial benchtop/laboratory scale work as well as pilot and commercial operations. Candidate will be responsible for product design & quality starting from ExxonMobil initial development and production and continuing to customer processing and application fit-for-use.

• Identify and implement new battery anode material grade opportunities by Incorporating market-back needs / concepts in combination with developing innovative technical approaches.
• Drive product development workflows at lab and pilot scales for internal and customer testing needs. Scope includes prototypes, validation, and scale-up.
• Identify/implement new equipment and analytical capabilities as required
• Provide technical leadership to define product research needs and participate in quality assurance for research and research applications.
• Lead product interface for synthetic graphite process development teams at lab, pilot unit and commercial scale.
• Own product specs and processing / performance fit-for-use in battery assembly & testing
• Continue to identify / implement technical capabilities to maintain competitive advantage
• Actively contribute content to IP development

Minimum Qualifications:

• B.S., preferably, M.S. or Ph.D. in Polymer Science, Materials Science, Chemistry, or Chemical Engineering.
• 5+ years experience in industry focused battery anode material development and production
• Experience with battery cell manufacture and testing a plus

Preferred Knowledge and Skills:

• Battery anode material product design – impacts of product attributes such as particle size,  particle size distribution, surface area, shape, structure, impurities on battery performance
• Battery anode material fabrication and characterization: hands-on experience with milling/shaping technology to prepare developmental samples as well as experience with conventional carbon powder characterization techniques (density, surface areas, SEM. ICP, XRD, etc) for both precursor cokes and subsequent graphite battery anode material
• Familiarity with grinding/milling operations at scales ranging from lab to commercial and subsequent heat treatment steps necessary for the production of graphite
• Managing multiple interfaces in development, ability to connect key factors across the value chain from coke to final lithium ion battery application performance and incorporate feedback into product design
• Awareness of Li-ion battery components, chemistry, & testing
• Effective at collaboration and networking: ability to influence without authority and leverage resources from multiple organizations
• Results orientation with bias for action
