Job description

• Client is commercializing the GridStar Flow battery for long-duration grid energy storage to enable enhanced grid resiliency and decarbonization.
• The Client flow battery is based on a proprietary chemistry comprising redox-active inorganic coordination compounds.
• During this 3-6 month position the candidate will work closely with PhD chemists and engineers to develop improved, scalable synthetic routes and processes to target compounds as next-generation electrolytes.
• Working independently in a chemistry lab to execute chemical reactions (e.g. organic and inorganic chemistry, air-free synthesis, gram-to-kilogram scale reactions) and evaluate progress against success metrics (e.g. reaction yield and process cost).
• Analytical data collection and interpretation to guide further optimization and cost reduction (e.g. product analysis by HPLC, LC-MS, NMR, UV-vis, cyclic voltammetry, and other characterization techniques).
• Supporting general lab upkeep and management.
• Compiling and communicating results to colleagues and management.
• Writing summary reports and technology transfer packages as required.
