What are the responsibilities and job description for the Materials Scientist position at DeepRec.ai?
Senior Materials Scientist – Battery Materials & Computational Design
We are hiring a Senior Materials Scientist with deep expertise across next-generation battery materials, computational modeling, and AI-driven materials design. This role sits at the intersection of chemistry, physics, and machine intelligence—driving the discovery and validation of novel materials for high-performance energy systems.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end battery material development: raw-material chemistry, electrode fabrication, and electrochemical testing.
- Build and refine computational models for molecular property prediction, multi-physics simulation, and materials screening.
- Apply AI/ML techniques to accelerate material selection, structure–property prediction, and generative chemistry workflows.
- Design experiments, validate computational predictions, and iterate material performance through lab-based testing.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams across materials, chemistry, modeling, and hardware engineering.
Core Requirements
- PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Applied Physics, or related field.
- Proven experience in battery material R&D, solid-state systems, or advanced electrode technologies.
- Strong background in computational modeling (DFT, molecular modeling, multi-physics simulations).
- Hands-on experimental validation expertise with electrochemical characterization and material testing.
- Knowledge of AI/ML model development for materials informatics, property prediction, or generative chemistry.
