JOB DESCRIPTION

Research Engineer position in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at National University of Singapore (NUS).
With a strong focus on industrial projects, we are developing our exciting technologies beyond the lab scale. We are seeking a talented and experienced individual with expertise in material chemistry and chemical engineering to join us.

As a Research Engineer, you will contribute to industry project focusing on scaling up our electro-metallurgical battery recycling technology from lab to pilot scale. Your major focus will be developing a process to synthesize precursor materials (pCAM) with extracted metals from spent battery materials.

• Lead pCAM synthesis processes at the R&D and pilot scale by working in collaboration with engineering team.
• Able to establish process design and synthesis rules to obtain precursors with optimal composition, interfacial properties, crystal structure, particle size, morphology, and electrochemical characteristics.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor or Master in Materials science and engineering, Chemical engineering, Material chemistry, or any relevant field.
• Minimum of 2 yrs experience in MHP, pCAM synthesis (precipitation, crystallization).
• Prior experience in process development and piloting new technologies is highly preferred.
• Experience with material characterization techniques like SEM/EDS, ICP, XRD, FTIR.
• Strong analytical skills and experience in data analysis and interpretation.
• Highly motivated, detail-oriented, and able to work independently as well as part of a team in a fast-paced academic environment
