Description
The DEWA R&D Center is looking to fill the vacancy of a researcher join our innovative Advanced Materials Research Program team and contribute to the design, development, experimental validations of state-of-the-art electrochemical systems. Specifically, the candidate will develop: Execute hands-on research (work packages) for the existing projects in the area of electrochemical energy storage. Perform required experiments (three-electrode configurations, two-electrode configurations, lab prototypes) in laboratory. Develop and integrate new proof-of-concepts (TRL 1-2), and subsequently realize the engineering prototypes (TRL 3-5). Deliver prototype(s) which meet the key requirements. Utilize in-depth knowledge of electrochemistry to contribute to the R&D team. Prepare detailed documentation and deliverables. Communicating work in technical reports/publications/invention disclosures. Collaborate to conduct scientific research in area of electrochemistry and battery development. Other scopes assigned by line manager. The candidate should be proficient in experimentation, testing, and characterization. The candidate is expected to work 80-90% of the time in the laboratory. The candidate to have interpersonal skills/soft skills, critical thinking, meticulous in doing experimental work and analysis, and having research integrity. When needed, the candidate should be comfortable to learn new skills needed for the job within limited time constrains.
