ABOUT US

Nanode Battery Technologies is a seed-stage startup based in Edmonton, focused on designing and producing high-performance electrodes for lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. Our mission is to electrify the future with nanotechnology, enabling next-generation energy storage solutions.
As we enter a phase of rapid growth, we are looking for talented individuals ready to make a meaningful impact in a fast-paced startup environment.

KEY QUALIFICATIONS

• Ph.D. in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or a related field; or a Master’s degree with 3+ years of relevant battery research experience
• Proven hands-on experience in pouch cell fabrication and testing
• Familiarity with lithium-ion and/or sodium-ion battery systems
• Experience with material characterization tools (e.g., SEM, XRD, XPS)
• Ability to work independently to design experiments, solve problems, and analyze data
• Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and effective communication
• Passion for clean energy and working in a collaborative, innovative team

Bonus Assets (not required but considered a plus):

• Experience in cathode material development and evaluation
• Background in electrolyte optimization or interface studies
• Prior work in startup or high-growth R&D environments

THE ROLE

We are seeking a Battery Scientist with strong, hands-on experience in pouch cell assembly and testing, especially for lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. Reporting to the Chief Scientist, you will help lead the development, fabrication, and evaluation of pouch cells using our novel next-generation anode materials.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design, assemble, and test lithium-ion and sodium-ion pouch cells
• Plan and execute experiments to evaluate electrochemical performance and cell reliability
• Conduct failure analysis and troubleshooting, particularly for non-graphite anodes
• Collaborate with materials and electrolyte teams to improve full-cell performance
• Characterize materials using tools such as SEM, XRD, XPS, etc.
• Analyze experimental data and clearly communicate results and recommendations
