Descripción

No matter which country you're in, the transition from and economy based on fossil fuels to one based on sustainable energy sources is well underway.

It takes slightly different approaches, and it progresses from different starting points depending on the area, but it's clear, we're all engaged in a global shared "electrification" challenge.

At
BASQUEVOLT our mission Is to develop sustainably the best battery materials and cells that will make possible the mass deployment of electric transportation, stationary energy storage and advanced portable devices.

Our proprietary solid-state battery technology will allow us to develop and commercialize safe, high performance and affordable products for a diverse portfolio of customers, from mobility, stationary energy storage and consumer electronics.

To this end, we offer the position of
Cell Failure Analysis Engineer.

MAIN FUNCTIONS
Reporting to the R&D Director, s/he will be responsible for:

Characterizing cell degradation and failure modes through electrochemical, spectro-electrochemical, and physical characterization techniques (non-destructive and destructive test methods).
Identifying root causes and propose solutions to mitigate the risk and ensuring maximum cell performance and lifetime from both design and usage.
Developing new test techniques to develop understanding of cell degradation and failure modes associated with semi solidstate and full solidstate batteries developed by Basquevolt.
Organizing and carrying out characterization and battery failure analysis work to support Basquevolt's R&D and production departments.
Designing new cell format/configuration to characterize cell, electrode, and material such as 3electrode cells.
Developing new methods and tools to identify degradation mechanisms and lifetime prediction for Basquevolt's semi solidstate and solidstate batteries.
Preparing and maintaining procedures, validating methods and equipment, developing and implementing failure analysis protocols and failure replication testing.
Preparing concise report and effectively present to internal and external teams.
Participating actively in customer related meetings, acting as a technical contact point.
Pursuing intellectual property development to secure Basquevolt's competitive position.

The
Cell Failure Analysis Engineer is expected to work as a team member with other parts of the company and maintain in-depth relations with all members of the Engineering team.

WHAT WE OFFER

We are offering a permanent position as
Cell Failure Analysis Engineer that will give you a unique opportunity to work alongside some of the most talented leaders in the lithium battery sector in Europe.

In addition to the appeal of the entire project, BASQUEVOLT offers a very competitive basic salary and conditions.
