Lead engineer battery materials

Pentalys Energy is developing materials for next-generation Li-S batteries. The Lead Engineer will own the entire scale-up pathway: from lab-scale protocols to a continuous pilot production, defining the process engineering discipline for the company along the way.

Hva vi ser etter

You've taken at least one process from lab bench to pilot scale in batteries, coatings, membranes, catalysis, or a related domain. You know what breaks when you scale and how to fix it.

Strong foundation in process chemistry, materials engineering or chemical engineering. Comfort with DOE, process modelling, and hands-on lab work in equal measure.

You communicate clearly across disciplines, translating between what "the science says" and what is realistic in a given time frame.

You thrive in ambiguity. Early-stage means incomplete data, evolving specs, and wearing multiple hats. That excites rather than frustrates you.

Arbeidsoppgaver

Design and validate the scale-up route for our separator and cathode materials, translating batch lab processes into continuous or semi-continuous pilot workflows.

Define critical process parameters, quality control checkpoints, and equipment specifications and purchasing. You'll define what "good" looks like at each stage.

Work hand-in-hand with the R&D team to understand material behaviour in the process and the final battery, identify process-limiting steps, and iterate on formulations that work at scale.

Build the process engineering function: set the technical direction, select tools and methods, and eventually hire your own team as the company grows.

Contribute to supplier qualification and procurement strategy for key equipment and materials input.

Vi tilbyr

Real ownership: early-stage option package and the influence to shape both the technology and the company.

A small, but dedicated team that understands the electrochemistry and will work together with you to find solutions. We won't ask you to "just make it work faster."

A front-row seat to pioneering next-generation battery materials that redefine energy storage.
