BASQUEVOLT aims to become the European leader in the next generation of solid-state lithium batteries. Our technology will make possible the mass deployment of electric transportation, stationary energy storage and advanced portable devices.
No matter which country you’re in, the transition from an 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 commercialise 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 Cathode Material Engineer.
MAIN FUNCTIONS
The Cathode Material Engineer is responsible for the development of Basquevolt’s cathode materials to be implemented in solid-state and semi solid-state cells. We are actively searching for a highly qualified engineer who would bring strong Li-ion battery material background, solid work ethic and personal integrity to our dedicated fast paced dynamic environment.
The cathode material engineer will work closely with the R&D director to develop an efficient solid-state and semi solid-state battery. In particular, the successful candidate will possess strong experience in development, characterization of cathode active materials for lithium batteries from R&D to production scale-up.
Reporting directly to the R&D director, s/he will be responsible for:
The Cathode Material 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 Cathode Material 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.
