Chemical Scientist / Chemical Engineer

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.
