• 36/hr DOE Overview A specialty materials company focused on advanced battery materials and nanotechnology.

The company develops and manufactures materials used in lithium-ion and next-generation battery technologies. Ideal for candidates with academic research (batteries / chemistry oriented), internships, co-ops, or industry experience involving formulation development, powder processing, slurry preparation, coatings, materials characterization, and process scale-up. What You'll Do Design, develop, and support manufacturing of battery electrode materials and formulations. Formulate and process active materials, conductive carbons, and binder systems. Prepare and optimize powders, dispersions/slurries, and coated films. Characterize materials to evaluate quality, morphology, and performance. Support development of both established and next-generation battery materials intended for commercialization. Document experimental results and collaborate with R D, manufacturing, and customer-facing teams. Qualifications BS/MS in Materials Science or a related field Hands-on experience with powders, slurries, dispersions, coatings, films, formulations, or materials processing. Knowledge of wet chemistry, solid-state chemistry, or materials characterization techniques. Strong laboratory, analytical, and problem-solving skills. Preferred Experience Electrode processing, including slurry formulation, mixing, rheology, coating, drying, calendering, tape casting, or doctor blade techniques. Battery materials such as cathodes, anodes, conductive additives, electrolytes, or binder systems. Materials characterization techniques including particle size analysis, BET, SEM, XRD, DSC/TGA, or similar methods. Experience with scale-up, process development, and manufacturing environments.
