ION Storage Systems
Battery Scientist I Or II Job Description We are looking to add a full-time Battery Scientist I or II to our team in Beltsville, MD. Level will be determined by experience and educational background. You will build understanding of our lithium-based solid-state battery technology at the cell level through characterization of component materials, assembly and testing of battery prototypes, electrochemical experiments, and data analysis. This is a strong fit for an early-career scientist who is curious and inventive, with a strong desire to learn new experimental and analytical techniques and the underlying electrochemical fundamentals that dictate our batteries' performance. Much of this work involves questions that no one has answered yet; as you grow in the role, you will be expected not only to execute established processes but also to propose your own approaches. Key Responsibilities
- Learn and perform research on electrochemical cells and their component materials via electrochemical experiments, mechanical characterization, materials characterization, and destructive physical analysis
- Fabricate prototypes of ION's unique battery technology and conduct testing with a focus on scientific rigor, repeatability, and statistical analyses in an industrial setting
- Work with senior scientists to design, execute, and interpret results of experiments targeting understanding and improving the electrochemical performance of battery cells and components
- Effectively document and communicate experimental design, results, and uncertainties within the Cell R&D team and to partner teams
- Support the design and fabrication of custom tools and fixtures for cell assembly and testing
- Troubleshoot unexpected results, equipment issues, and cell failures using structured root-cause analysis, and translate findings into actionable changes
- Stay current with the battery and solid-state literature, and bring relevant methods and findings back to the team
- Identify opportunities to improve R&D processes for better reproducibility, yield, and safety
- Follow safety protocols for handling chemicals, cell components and cells, including proper storage and disposal
- Maintain lab cleanliness and promote environmental health and safety in the daily work environment
- At the Scientist II level, independently scope and lead experimental campaigns from design through interpretation, pursue new experimental approaches and characterization methods, and mentor junior scientists on lab methods and data practices
- Battery Scientist I: B.S. with 0-2 years of experience in industry, internships, or academic research; or M.S. in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Material Science and Engineering, or related field with laboratory-based research work
- Battery Scientist II: M.S. with 2-4 years of relevant industry experience; or Ph.D. in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Material Science and Engineering, or related fields with laboratory-based research work
- Hands-on experience measuring and analyzing material and component properties - through coursework, thesis or capstone work, internships, or industry roles - and relating structure/property relationships to observed performance
- Comfort analyzing and visualizing experimental data to draw defensible conclusions
- Clear technical communication, strong teamwork, and excellent organizational skills
- A creative approach to problem solving - for example, you redesigned an experiment after the first approach failed, or you tracked down the root cause of an unexpected failure
- Adaptability to the fast-moving pace of a start-up environment
- Industrial experience in battery research or manufacturing
- Hands-on experience working in a dry room or argon glovebox environment
- Fabrication and testing of electrochemical cells, including voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, etc.
- Proficiency designing experiments and analyzing and visualizing experimental data, including familiarity with Python or MATLAB
- Examples of independent idea generation and technical communication: publications, patents, conference presentations, or thesis and capstone work where you defined the research question yourself
- Work onsite at ION's Beltsville, MD facility; this is a hands-on, collaborative role requiring regular presence
- Wear personal protective equipment including, but not limited to, a lab coat, gloves, safety glasses, and safety-toe shoes
- Ability to stand, bend, and move around equipment and lab benches for extended periods
- Medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance
- RSU options in an early-stage company
- Company and floating holidays
- 17 days of PTO to start, with increase upon tenure
- Paid parental leave
- 401(k) plan with a 4% company match beginning after first paycheck
- Wellness allowance of $1,000 annually
- Eligibility to work in the United States as a U.S. Citizen or U.S. permanent resident is required for consideration.
