About the role

Still Bright is bringing the first viable hydrometallurgical alternative to copper smelting to market at a moment when global copper demand is outpacing supply by historic margins. Our proprietary RACER (Rapid and Complete Electrochemical Reduction) process delivers fast, complete copper extraction while recovering precious and critical co-products, and as a closed-loop system it offers precise control over outputs and radically reduces environmental impact.

What they're looking for

  • • Direct experience developing electrochemical cells or stacks—electrowinning, electrolysis, electrolyzers, fuel cells, or batteries—including electrode and membrane/separator selection and cell architecture
  • • Experience with long-duration stability or durability testing and translating durability findings into design changes
  • • Strong understanding of thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid flow and materials
  • • Fluency with potentiostats/galvanostats and electrochemical measurement techniques (CV, EIS, chronopotentiometry) and data-acquisition systems
  • • Pilot-scale or continuous-process experience, including commissioning and troubleshooting at scale

Competitive Benefits

Still Bright is bringing the first viable hydrometallurgical alternative to copper smelting to market at a moment when global copper demand is outpacing supply by historic margins. Our proprietary RACER (Rapid and Complete Electrochemical Reduction) process delivers fast, complete copper extraction while recovering precious and critical co-products, and as a closed-loop system it offers precise control over outputs and radically reduces environmental impact. Backed by top-tier investors including Breakthrough Energy Ventures and Material Impact, the team is moving from pilot execution into the next stages of commercial deployment.

The Engineer III - Electrochemistry is an experienced engineer who supports the design, development, and iterative improvement of the RACER electrochemical cell. The person in this seat sets cell test objectives, drives the build–test–learn cycles that improve performance, efficiency, and durability, and translates results into next-generation cell designs that carry RACER from pilot toward...
