Overview
Ingenn is the Head Hunting company solely focused on the search and selection of technical profiles and engineers.
The Partner
We are looking for an Electrolytes/Chemistry Expert to be hired on a permanent contract with one of our clients, an innovative Start-Up in the chemical-engineering sector. Our client specializes in renewable energy and, in particular, in the research, development and prototyping of new green batteries and long-duration energy storage systems.
The Role
* Develop and optimize electrolyte formulations to improve stability, efficiency, and lifetime
* Investigate crossover, imbalance drivers, and mitigation strategies (operational and hardware-related)
* Define electrolyte operating windows (concentration, temperature, pH/alkalinity, impurity tolerance)
* Lead analytical characterization (e.g., titration, UV-Vis/Raman/FTIR where applicable, ICP/IC support, viscosity/conductivity)
* Evaluate materials compatibility (membranes, electrodes, seals, wetted parts) and support qualification
* Create electrolyte QC procedures and acceptance criteria for pilot/manufacturing readiness
* Plan and execute structured experiments and report results in a decision-oriented way
* Support scale-up activities (mixing, handling, storage, safety procedures)
* Draft procedures, reports and technical documentation in general
Job Requirements
* Master's degree or PhD in chemistry/chemical engineering or equivalent qualification
* Previous experience of at least 5 years in the development of electrolyte formulations and/or research projects in the electrochemical field, preferably with focus on chemical analysis, analytical characterization and materials compatibility in redox flow batteries and/or alkaline systems
* A proven ability to conduct structured laboratory experiments with high reproducibility, including skills in analytical techniques (titration, spectroscopy, conductivity/viscosity) and rigorous technical documentation is a mandatory requirement
* Excellent level of English (B2 minimum)
* The knowledge of Italian language level C1 or C1 is ideal but not mandatory
