About the Opportunity

We're excited to offer a unique opportunity for a Cathode Researcher to join our team at Agratas, driving innovation in cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. As a key member of our team, you will contribute to the development of high-performance, state-of-the-art cathode materials, with an emphasis on materials sourcing and supply chain alignment.

Responsibilities
  • Conduct cutting-edge research to develop and optimise cathode materials, focusing on high energy density, cycle stability, and safety for Li-ion cells.
  • Perform rigorous electrochemical and physical testing of new cathode materials to validate performance and compatibility within the cell.
  • Collaborate with supply chain and sourcing teams to evaluate raw material quality and ensure materials meet performance specifications and sustainability standards.
  • Drive innovation in cathode chemistries, such as high-nickel or cobalt-free materials, to meet the demands of future-generation Li-ion batteries.
  • Analyse test data to identify performance trends and make adjustments to formulations or synthesis methods to enhance cell performance.
Requirements
  • Deep understanding of cathode materials, including NMC, NCA, and next-gen chemistries, with experience in synthesis and electrochemical behaviour.
  • Skilled in validating material properties using electrochemical (e.g., cycling, EIS) and structural analysis techniques (e.g., XRD, SEM).
  • Familiarity with supply chain requirements, raw material sourcing, and sustainable material considerations for battery production.
  • Ability to analyse test data, troubleshoot issues, and optimise cathode material formulations for enhanced cell performance.
  • Strong commitment to staying updated on advancements in cathode materials and the broader Li-ion battery field.
What We Offer

We offer a competitive salary of £95,000 - £130,000 per annum, plus private healthcare, car allowance, company bonus, enhanced parental leave policy, and a cash allowance to boost your benefits. You'll work in a rapidly scaling-up environment as a subsidiary of the multinational corporation, Tata Sons, to help build the UK's biggest battery manufacturing facility and make your mark in a new organisation.
