Here at TPA we are very excited to be able offer the position of Energy Materials Scientist- Process team
Purpose of the Job:
The chosen candidate will be developing innovative materials science methodologies to advance our "cutting-edge" energy materials development and processing, thereby supporting the development of our products, this position requires people with technical and materials processing development skills who want to be challenged, have a passion for success, and a constant drive to exceed expectations.
Key Accountabilities:
* Be a hands-on developer for processing of technologies from concept to product launch.
* Participate and provide scientific and technical expertise by:
- Delivering improved materials processes for inks development, inks characterisation and deposition - required to meet project technical objectives within agreed timescales
- Working as a part of the team that will manufacture prototype levels of the next generation technology
- Having a can-do attitude and be flexible in working schedules to get the job done
- Completing background research into innovative materials processing routes and create strategies for development.
- Creating, implementing and supporting strategies to characterise the performance and stability of the materials features
- Presenting technical progress and timing to the team management
* Be a trouble-shooter providing solutions to technical challenges faced in projects
* Communicate key information and recommendations
Qualifications, Knowledge, and Experience:
In addition to a high level of professionalism and experience of industry driven projects, working in a multidisciplinary team, the following are:
Required:
* PhD or Masters in Materials Science, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering or related field.
* Scientific knowledge/understanding of some of the following: ceramics materials and processing, solution chemistry, organometallic chemistry, sol-gels and colloids.
* Experience with manufacturing processes: screen printing, ink formulation and ink manufacturing processes, other thin film deposition processes, ceramic sintering.
* Experience with rheology measurements and other ink and thin film characterisation tools
* Experience with some of the following materials characterisation techniques: SEM with EDS/WDX, XRD, PSD, STA/DTA, BET, dilatometry, FIB-SEM, XRF, ACIS/EIS, electrochemical testing, indentation and mechanical properties testing, 3D tomography, SIMS, ICP-MS.
* Working knowledge of electro-ceramics, ceramic sintering, electrochemistry
* candidate needs to demonstrate entrepreneurial and can-do attitude to meet the goals of a fast-paced technology development environment.
Highly desirable:
* Experience in working with high volume ceramic manufacturing.
* Expertise in 6-sigma/DoE techniques.
* Demonstrable problem-solving skills
Internal and External Relationships
* Part of our products Development team, with day-to-day supervision.
* Working in multi-disciplinary, cross function project team providing technical expertise on the cell materials technology with specific focus on materials science and processing.
* Regular progress reporting to the technical management team and program management office.
* Working with external experts to develop knowledge and capability in processes and characterisation methods.
