Experimental Cell Engineer

Experimental Cell Engineer Join our growing Cell Chemistry team in London to work on lithium‑ion cell design and manufacturing, combining modeling with experimental work to drive product development. What you will be doing We are scaling our Cell Chemistry team and need an expert to bring knowledge of commercial lithium‑ion cell manufacturing and chemistry. You will design experiments, analyze data, and provide actionable feedback on cell degradation and performance. Analyze data from electrochemical and materials characterisations on lithium‑ion battery samples for model parametrisation. Lead post‑mortem analysis activities, focusing on cell degradation forensics to generate actionable feedback to product development. Lead or participate in development projects as the subject specialist in cell chemistry. Conduct chemical and electrochemical experiments in a glovebox and a fume hood. Improve experimental procedures for efficiency and robustness of model parameterisation. Support operation and maintenance tasks in the Cell Chemistry team, including experiments and data analysis. Your background A degree in chemistry, engineering, or a relevant subject. More than two years’ experience with cell design and/or manufacturing of lithium‑ion batteries in the industry. Knowledge of cell chemistry, working and degradation mechanisms of lithium‑ion batteries. Experience with electrochemical methods and materials characterisation for lithium‑ion cells and its components. Ability to create and implement chemistry safety procedures (including CoSHH and risk assessments). Basic programming, preferably in MATLAB and/or Python. Experience with handling compressed gas is a plus but not essential. Enjoy teaching and learning practical skills and working in a laboratory environment. Ability to work cross‑functionally in a kind and conscientious manner. What we will give you Hybrid working and flexible hours. Share options, an ethical pension scheme, and 34 days holiday, including bank holidays. Continuous learning and professional development via courses, conferences, and materials. People & Places Based in London, but we are open to hybrid arrangements and will consider remote prospects. Equal Opportunity Statement We welcome and encourage applications from all qualified candidates and are happy to provide the accommodations you need within our recruitment process to enable you to demonstrate your skills. We aim to attract, nurture, and retain diverse individuals to create the best work. #J-18808-Ljbffr Breathe
