Your mission
We are seeking a highly skilled Irradiation Expert to join our innovative R&D team. This role focuses on photon/electron irradiation processes for advanced battery development, particularly within the scope of lithium-sulfur batteries. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in irradiation-induced chemical interactions, with expertise in processes such as polymerization and/or the aging mechanisms of lithium-ion and lithium-metal batteries. As part of our dynamic team, you will play a critical role in advancing theion’s cutting-edge lithium-sulfur battery technology, contributing to research, design, scalability, and commercialization efforts.
YOUR TASK
- Conduct research projects on irradiation-induced polymerization, electrolyte aging, and interfacial interactions in lithium-sulfur batteries.
- Design, implement, and optimize protocols for irradiation-induced processes, analyzing material responses, with a focus on applications in lithium-metal and lithium-sulfur battery technologies.
- Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams including materials scientists, chemists, electrochemists, and engineers to accelerate the development of theion’s lithium-sulfur battery technology.
- Document project progress, challenges, and outcomes through detailed technical reports and effective presentations for diverse audiences.
- Stay up to date with respect to industry trends and advancements in polymer chemistry, analytical chemistry, and energy storage systems to inform and enhance R&D efforts.
- Contribute to intellectual property (IP) development, generating innovative ideas within the field of expertise.
- Support the scaling and commercialization of theion’s proprietary photon-induced sulfur/chalcogenide pre-expansion technology in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
