Crystalization Expert

About the role

We are seeking a skilled and innovative crystallization expert to join our dynamic team focused on developing next generation of lithium-sulfur battery technology. This role focuses on developing high-quality 3-dimensional monolithic sulfur-based wafers for use in our lithium-sulfur batteries.

What you'll do

• Design and execute experiments to grow 3-dimensional polycrystalline sulfur wafers using solution-based crystallization.
• Optimize crystallization process to maintain a high degree of control over porosity, uniformity and thickness of the grown sulfur wafer.
• Investigate growth mechanisms and establish robust protocols for consistent and scalable wafer production.
• Design and implement nanomaterial seeding strategies to modulate and control crystal growth sulfur.
• Perform comprehensive material characterization using techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and spectroscopy methods.
• Work cross-functionally with scientists, engineers, and external partners to advance sulfur wafer growth technologies.

What you'll need

• PhD in Materials Sciences, Physics, Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering or a related field with a focus on crystal growth.
• Demonstrated expertise in solution-based crystal growth, wafer crystallization, and related techniques.
• Proficiency in advanced material characterization methods.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a proven track record of scientific publications or patents.
• Fluent in speaking English.

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience in nanomaterial handling.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to innovate and think critically.
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
