Company Description: BioZen Batteries is a clean energy technology company focused on developing and commercializing our innovative carbon-based, green-plant-inspired Redoxolyte™ electrolyte energy storage fluid for redox flow batteries (RFBs) that will provide affordable, reliable, and sustainable grid-scale long-duration energy

storage to communities.

Position Description: Electro-chemo-mechanical Device Development

BioZen is seeking an intern to help with the design, prototyping, testing, and use/deployment of a multi-channel (4 ), small-volume electrochemical flow cell system for simultaneous multiplexed testing of our Redoxolyte™ electrolyte fluids. The project includes the mechanical and electrical design of a circulating peristaltic small-volume fluid pump system that contains the Redoxolyte™ electrolyte fluids, integration of electrochemical functionality and software control for testing electron transfer cycles in the fluids, documentation for IP and commercialization, and ultimately construction and use of the flow cell system for internal R&D.

This role requires at least 10 hours per week of availability. This is an in-person/hybrid position, requiring both in person and remote work. Open to UCSB undergraduate and graduate students, as well as SBCC and AHCC.

We'd love to hear from you if you:

● Are at least a 3rd year undergraduate in a STEM field, or a STEM PhD student at any point in their degree.

● Have experience in any of the following: mechanical engineering, electro-mechanical design, design in CAD (or equiv), electrochemistry, electrical engineering, circuit design, chemical engineering, materials science, materials chemistry, organic chemistry, API development

● Have a willingness / desire to learn the technical skills you don't know that are relevant to the project.

Preferred Disciplines:

Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, Materials, Mechanical Engineering, Physics

Intern Support:

● Clear expectations and deliverables

● Hands on experience with the technology

● Autonomy and flexibility in getting work done

● Mentorship from company founders and partner subject matter experts

● Equitable treatment regardless of race, sex, orientation, etc: diverse perspectives offer powerful and creative outcomes
