Senior Scientist, ElectrochemistryThis role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced R&D environment to help develop, validate, and scale the cell architecture for Voya's proprietary metal-air fuel cell.
What You'll Do- Develop electrochemical methods to characterize and predict performance of Voya's metal-air fuel cells
- Lead characterization and selection of anode, cathode, and other cell materials from vendors and internal development efforts.
- Develop operating conditions to optimize cell power, efficiency, and durability.
- Work with Voya's engineering team to design and optimize cell geometry, stack architecture, and electrochemical interfaces.
- Work with Voya's product development team to scale and demonstrate your technology from lab to pilot and production-intent systems.
Qualifications- PhD in Electrochemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or equivalent experience
- 5-8 years of industry or advanced research experience in electrochemical systems
- Track record of developing novel electrochemical cell architectures or test methods. Experience with flow-based systems (e.g. fuel cells, flow batteries, electrolyzers) preferred.
- Experience working with cross-functional teams, preferably for system or device development.
- Ability to operate in a fast-paced, start-up environment
- Strong understanding of electrochemical fundamentals, reaction kinetics, transport phenomena, and cell design
- Hands-on experience designing and testing electrochemical cells or related energy systems
- Experience with electrochemical characterization techniques and data analysis
- Demonstrated ability to independently execute experimental programs and solve complex technical problems
- Strong communication skills with the ability to present technical concepts clearly across disciplines
