General Purpose / Objective
eJoule is seeking a highly motivated Process Engineer/Technician to support the R&D of advanced cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The successful candidate will primarily work in a wet lab environment on cathode powder synthesis, process optimization, and material characterization. This position will involve hands-on laboratory and process development work, with a strong focus on powder processing
Process Engineer Job Objectives
- Conduct cathode powder materials synthesis.
- Prepare chemical solutions and raw materials according to established procedures and experimental plans.
- Support development and optimization of powder synthesis processes, including process parameters, reaction conditions, heat treatment, and post-processing.
- Operate laboratory and pilot-scale powder processing equipment.
- Characterize synthesized materials using techniques such as particle size analysis, XRD, SEM, and other powder characterization methods.
- Collect, organize, analyze, and summarize experimental and process data.
- Support troubleshooting of material quality and process-related issues.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Materials Science, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering, or a related field.
- Hands-on laboratory experience working in a wet lab.
- Experience preparing and handling chemical solutions and raw materials.
- Familiarity with material characterization techniques such as particle size analysis, XRD, SEM, or similar methods.
- Ability to collect, analyze, and interpret experimental data.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with cathode active materials or other powder processing equipment.
- Basic understanding of lithium-ion battery cathode materials and their performance requirements.
