Electrolyte Scientist

Working at the forefront of next‑generation battery development, the Electrolyte Scientist will focus on advancing semi‑solid, quasi‑solid and all‑solid‑state battery systems, with particular emphasis on interfacial engineering and electrolyte performance.

Experience, qualification, and soft skills, have you got everything required to succeed in this opportunity Find out below.
This role combines experimental research, materials development and electrochemical analysis, supporting the design and optimisation of battery systems from early-stage concepts through to prototype-level validation.

The Electrolyte Scientist will:
Design and optimise semi‑solid, quasi‑solid and all‑solid‑state battery systems in pouch cell format.
Investigate interfaces between solid electrolytes and metallic anodes to understand performance and stability.
Develop strategies to improve interfacial behaviour, reduce impedance and enhance cycle life.
Evaluate electrolyte materials, including polymer, hybrid and inorganic systems.
Lead metallic anode integration activities, including plating and stripping performance.
Design and carry out electrochemical testing programmes (e.g. impedance, cycling, rate testing)

The Electrolyte Scientist will have:
A Master's or PhD in Materials Science, Electrochemistry, Chemical Engineering or a related discipline.
Experience working with lithium and/or sodium battery chemistries.
Hands‑on experience with solid‑state, semi‑solid or quasi‑solid battery systems.
Strong understanding of battery interfaces, particularly electrolyte and anode interactions.
Experience working with pouch cell design, assembly and testing.
Familiarity with electrochemical characterisation techniques such as EIS, CV or galvanostatic testing.

This role is suited to someone with a strong technical interest in advanced battery materials and interfacial engineering, looking to contribute to the development of next‑generation energy storage technologies. xwzovoh Apply with your CV to learn more.
