START-UP | ELECTROLYTES/CHEMISTRY EXPERT | MATERIAL SCIENTIST

Ingenn is the Head Hunting company solely focused on the search and selection of technical profiles and engineers.

The partner:

We are looking for an Electrolytes/Chemistry Expert to be hired on a permanent contract with one of our clients, an innovative Start-Up in the chemical-engineering sector. Our client specializes in renewable energy and, in particular, in the research, development and prototyping of new green batteries and long-duration energy storage systems

The role:

• Lead and supervise with a "hands-on" approach the development and optimization of electrolyte formulations, designing advanced solutions using analytical characterization techniques, stability testing and chemical-physical analysis
• Conduct technology scouting activities to identify crossover and imbalance mitigation strategies existing in other electrochemical sectors, evaluate their applicability to our client's systems and minimize performance gaps
• Analyze the landscape of materials compatible with our client's project, identify opportunities for new formulations and interface with suppliers of membranes, electrodes and contact components when necessary
• Interface with industrial partners and suppliers in order to transform "laboratory" formulations into truly scalable production processes, defining QC procedures and acceptance criteria
• Supervise junior chemists and laboratory technicians, ensuring methodological consistency and alignment between experimental results, defined operating windows and scale-up requirements for manufacturing

Mandatory skills:

• Master's degree or PhD in chemistry/chemical engineering, materials science or equivalent qualification
• Previous experience of at least 5 years in the development of electrolyte formulations and/or research projects in the electrochemical field, preferably with focus on chemical analysis, analytical characterization and materials compatibility
• A proven ability to conduct structured laboratory experiments with high reproducibility, including skills in analytical techniques (titration, spectroscopy, conductivity/viscosity) and rigorous technical documentation is a mandatory requirement
• Excellent level of English (B2 minimum)
• The knowledge of italian language level C1 or C1 is ideal but not mandatory
