Relate properties and process to structure and performance;


  • Develop new test methods where there are opportunities for novel/enhanced material characterisation to gain insights into electrode materials and composite processes and performance;


  • Develop and improve existing characterisation to enhance efficiency, through a combination of increased accuracy and throughput. Explore opportunities to transfer offline characterisation processes to in-line characterisation and automation of analysis;


  • Support development and characterisation of external projects and tailor characterisation of materials towards customer standards and specifications were necessary;


  • Mentor and train new staff through the use of standard operating procedures for measurement and analysis techniques, helping to bring them up to speed and maintain expected standards and


  • Complete relevant processes and documentation to ensure Health and Safety standards are upheld.


Required Proficiencies/Experience:


  • Relevant experience in industrial R&D;


  • Experience characterising materials and composites for battery applications;
