Unit Cell Engineer, R&D

The unit cell engineer will be responsible for the design and development of electrochemical cell components for flow batteries, focusing on optimizing performance, durability, and cost. This involves selecting materials, creating hardware designs, flow frames, seal interfaces and other unit cell components. It also includes developing novel testing and verification procedures to ensure the unit cell meets performance and reliability goals at the pre-product development stage. The role bridges the gap between fundamental research and the commercialization of new flow battery unit cell technologies.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop new unit cell architecture and components, particularly bipolar plate and frame, to improve reliability while reducing cost and complexity.
• Develop novel sealing, manufacturing and assembly processes for components and assemblies, e.g. injection moulding, plastic welding, bonding.
• Select appropriate materials for ...
