Scientist/Engineer, Cell Engineering

Voya Energy is commercializing a closed-loop electrochemical metal fuel and generator that outperforms diesel in energy density, cost, and stability. At the core of this innovation is Voya’s proprietary low-corrosion electrolyte and system architecture, which deliver higher power density and allow the use of lower-purity feedstock. Leveraging this advantage, Voya is also developing a low-cost electrochemical process for producing the fuel at scale. Together, these technologies position Voya to redefine how clean energy is stored, transported, and delivered globally. The company is backed by leading venture investors, including Energy Impact Partners and Founders Fund, and led by a founding team of industry veterans (Richard Wang, CEO; Matt Horton, CCO; Steven Kaye, CTO) with deep expertise in electrochemistry, batteries, and mobility. Position Details As one of the first members of the Voya team, you will have a key role in the development of the company. We’re looking for scientists and engineers who are passionate about research, innovation, and entrepreneurship to help develop and scale the cell architecture for Voya’s proprietary metal-air fuel cell. The successful candidate will take a leading role in setting the scientific direction of the company. Responsibilities Design, build, and validate a high-power metal-air fuel cell for Voya’s generator. Develop novel current collector and electrode architectures to improve cell power, efficiency, and durability. Work with Voya’s material scientists to select and optimize cathode, anode, and electrolyte materials and form-factor. Work with Voya’s product development team to scale and demonstrate your cell from lab to pilot and production-intent systems. Qualifications Track record of developing novel electrochemical cell architectures. Experience with flow-based systems (e.g. fuel cells, flow batteries, electrolyzers) preferred. Experience working with cross-functional teams, preferably for system or device development. Ability to operate in a fast-paced, start-up environment Results-oriented with a strong sense urgency Location Hayward, CA. Full-time on-site. #J-18808-Ljbffr Voya Energy
