Solid-State Battery Development Engineer

No matter which country you’re in, the transition from and economy based on fossil fuels to one based on sustainable energy sources is well underway. It takes slightly different approaches, and it progresses from different starting points depending on the area, but it’s clear, we’re all engaged in a global shared “electrification" challenge.

At BASQUEVOLT our mission is to develop sustainably the best battery materials and cells that will make possible the mass deployment of electric transportation, stationary energy storage and advanced portable devices.

Our proprietary solid-state battery technology will allow us to develop and commercialize safe, high performance and affordable products for a diverse portfolio of customers, from mobility, stationary energy storage and consumer electronics.

To this end, we offer the position of Solid-state Development Engineer.

MAIN FUNCTIONS

The Solid-state Development Engineer is responsible for the development of Basquevolt’s Solid-state proprietary electrolyte and cell. The Solid-state Development Engineer will work closely with the R&D director to develop an efficient solid electrolyte based on CIC Energigune’s prior IP and implement in a full solid-state configuration.

Reporting directly to the R&D director, s/he will be responsible for:

1. Improving the ionic conductivity of the solid electrolyte in order to achieve good power density at room temperature
2. Improving stability with Li metal
3. Improving high voltage stability for compatibility with Ni rich cathode and LMNO cathode
4. Organize daily tasks for the R&D technicians in the field of solid state development
5. Work together with the cell design engineer to provide efficient cell solutions to the clients
6. Develop solvent-free production process which can efficiently be scaled-up
7. Liaise with the prototype testing manager to organize DOE at pouch cell level
8. Organize material characterization together with the material qualification manager
9. Generate IP in innovative and safe all solid-state polymer based battery

The Solid-state Development Engineer is expected to work as a key team member within the R&D team to develop further Basquevolt’s IP and provide innovative solutions to increase energy density and safety of Li-ion cell technology.

WHAT WE OFFER

We are offering a permanent position as Solid-state Development Engineer that will give you a unique opportunity to work alongside some of the most talented leaders in the lithium battery sector in Europe and provide extensive opportunity for personal growth within the company.

In addition to the appeal of the entire project, BASQUEVOLT offers a very competitive basic salary and conditions.
