Solid-State Electrolyte Scientist

Location: Cambridge, UK
Department: R&D / Advanced Battery Development
Type: Full-time

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Battery Scientist/Engineer to lead the development of next-generation semi-solid, quasi-solid, and all-solid-state batteries in pouch cell format. This role focuses on interfacial engineering, particularly involving metallic anodes, and requires deep expertise in both lithium and sodium battery chemistries.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and optimize semi-solid, quasi-solid, and all-solid-state battery systems in pouch cell configurations
• Conduct in-depth interface analysis between solid electrolytes and metallic anodes (e.g., Li, Na), including interphase formation and stability
• Develop strategies to improve interfacial kinetics, reduce impedance, and enhance cycle life and safety
