## About the role

As an engineer on the RD&E modeling team, you will bridge physical chemistry, advanced characterization, and computational modeling to accelerate the development of high-performance lithium-ion battery materials and cells. You are a cross-functional problem solver who thrives at the intersection of wet-lab characterization and high-performance computing, leveraging advanced models to turn raw empirical and theoretical data into actionable material & cell design rules. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Ph.D. in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a related physical science discipline
- Deep experience integrating quantum chemistry methods (DFT, electronic structure calculations) with experimental materials characterization
- Deep experience in physics based model development and application for lithium ion batteries
- High proficiency in Linux environments, CLI tools, bash scripting, Python, and numerical solvers for physical chemistry workflows
- Hands-on background in electrochemistry for lithium ion batteries or related field
- Solid grasp of standard (BET, TGA, Raman, SEM) and advanced spectroscopic/synchrotron techniques (XAS, XPS, EPR) applied to silicon or carbon-based active materials
