Proven ability in designing and synthesizing molecular functional materials, including coordination complexes and molecular catalysts.
Experience with electrochemical systems, such as fuel cells and electrolyzers, is preferred.
Strong adaptability to fast-paced, start-up environments.
Results-driven with a sense of urgency in project execution.
Responsibilities
Develop advanced molecular electrocatalysts to enhance power and energy density of fuel cells.
Identify and analyze structure-property relationships to inform catalyst design improvements.
Collaborate with vendors to source novel ligands and assess synthesis feasibility.
Partner with product development teams to transition technology from lab-scale to production systems.
Benefits
Unlimited paid time off (PTO) for work-life balance.
100% employer-covered medical, dental, and vision insurance.
401(k) retirement plan with employer contribution.
Full Job Description
Role Responsibilities:
Develop improved molecular electrocatalysts to improve the power, efficiency, and energy density of Voya's metal-air fuel cells.
Identify structure-property relationships, determine mechanism of action and failure, and translate into improved catalyst designs.
Work with external vendors to source novel ligands and complexes for both screening and scale-up. Scope custom syntheses, evaluate feasibility and cost.
Work with Voya's product development team to scale and demonstrate your technology from lab to pilot and production-intent systems.
Qualifications:
Track record of design and synthesis of molecular functional materials. E.g. coordination complexes, organic redox-active compounds, molecular catalysts, dyes/chromophores, soluble sensors, or flow-battery active materials.
Experience with electrochemical systems (e.g. fuel cells, flow batteries, electrolyzers) preferred but not required.
Ability to operate in a fast-paced, start-up environment
Results-oriented with a strong sense urgency
What we offer:
Competitive salary and equity compensation commensurate with experience
Unlimited PTO
100% employer paid medical, dental, and vision coverage
