What are the responsibilities and job description for the Electrochemical Engineer position at EDAC Labs?
EDAC Labs is developing a new class of electrochemistry systems that support circularity and decarbonization applications. EDAC Labs’ technology, which was created in Professor Chao Wang's lab at the Johns Hopkins University School of Engineering, was supported by R&D grants from ARPA-E. EDAC Labs’ work in e-waste recycling is supported by the NSF-STRIDE Ventures Tech Metal Transformation Challenge. EDAC Labs is further supported by a $3M pre-seed funding round led by the Grantham Foundation.
EDAC Labs seeks an electrochemical engineer with significant experience in battery chemistry who will help us to develop, optimize, and scale up electrochemical cells to support a variety of new applications.
Core requirements:
· 2 years of work/research experience in electrochemistry, battery systems, or related fields.
· Hands-on experience with non-aqueous electrochemical systems involving metal plating/stripping (e.g., lithium metal or similar systems).
· Strong understanding of interfacial phenomena (e.g., passivation layers, dendrite formation, surface reactions).
· Experience with electrochemical testing methods (e.g., cycling, CV, EIS) and interpreting results.
· Ability to independently design, run, and troubleshoot experiments.
