Chemical Scientist

About The Role
We are seeking a highly motivated Chemical Scientist or Chemical Engineer to join our R&D team focused on the development and optimisation of electrochemical technologies. You will play a key role in advancing cutting-edge solutions for clean energy, green chemistry and carbon-neutral processes, including but not limited to nitrate and CO₂ reduction, electrochemistry and catalysis.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, manufacture, and test electrochemical systems including reactors, cells, and supporting infrastructure.
• Conduct materials selection and analysis for electrodes, membranes, electrolytes, and catalysts.
• Scale lab-based prototypes to pilot or pre-commercial systems.
• Analyze electrochemical performance using techniques such as EIS, LSV, CV, and chronoamperometry.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical engineers, data scientists, and process chemists.
• Support IP generation and contribute to patent filings and publications.

Essential Qualifications

• BSc, MSc, or PhD in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science, or a related field.
• Strong understanding of chemical reaction engineering and thermodynamics.
• Hands-on experience with analytical instrumentation and laboratory-scale electrochemical setups.
• Strong written and verbal communication abilities.

Desirable Skills

• Experience in electrochemical systems such as fuel cells, batteries, electrolyzers, or redox flow systems.
• Knowledge of green ammonia, CO₂ utilization, or electrosynthesis of fuels/chemicals.
• Familiarity with pilot plant design or industrial scale-up.
• Understanding of safety, regulatory, and environmental aspects of electrochemical processes.
• Industry experience in cleantech, energy, or advanced manufacturing sectors.
