Sr. Engineer (electrode engineering, particle engineering)

Alsym Energy Inc. is looking for a self-driven and motivated engineer with a passion in the field of energy storage. In this position, the candidate will have an opportunity to drive rapid and innovative advancements in materials and processes for next-generation energy storage systems. The successful candidate will be responsible for prototyping efforts and will work closely with a team of engineers and scientists to deliver products with demanding performance requirements.

Industry Background : Energy storage systems is a rapidly emerging field. Over the last few years, supply-chain constraints and significant safety incidents arising from lithium-ion batteries globally have resulted in a dramatic increase in costs and reduced confidence in the reliability of the technology. Alsym is working on an exciting proprietary aqueous battery technology that is expected to compete with state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries while offering the technology at a fraction of the cost and with inherent non-flammability.

Key Qualifications :

• BS or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Material Science and Engineering, Chemistry, or a related field.
• Minimum 5 years of industry experience working with powders or particles, preferably at a pilot-scale. Experience scaling one or more processes from research to pilot stage is highly desirable.
• Experience with spray drying or other particle size or morphology modification processes is required. This may include milling, sieving, as well as other particle optimization processes such as curing, calcination, and annealing, among others.
• Fundamental understanding of slurry fluid formulation and rheology is required.
• Experience in batteries, catalysts, inorganic pigments, or ceramics is desired.
