Are you interested in joining the vehicle electrification revolution? At WMG (in the University of Warwick), we carry out world-leading research into new materials and processes for current and next-generation Lithium-ion batteries, working closely with partner companies and universities to accelerate the development of new technologies. The rapidly expanding battery industry in the UK and elsewhere will require the development of optimised high efficiency manufacturing methods.

As part of this project, we will work with an industrial partner to develop machine learning approaches to optimise the production of cutting-edge battery cathodes. We are seeking a Project Engineer to join the team who will drive the evaluation of process optimisation, and carry out experimental research involving battery electrode manufacture, cell assembly and testing.

About You

The ideal candidate should possess a good honours degree in a relevant subject, as well as a good understanding of technologies/experience in lithium-ion battery manufacturing, including ink preparation, electrode coating, cell manufacturing (coin and pouch) and electrochemical testing. The successful candidate will also have experience in experimental design, data analysis and interpretation. This role within the research team will work closely with the academic investigator and other members of the team (research fellow, engineers), to design and carry out experiments, and will analyse, collate, and share data with the wider team.
