Job ID: 467167BR Date posted: Jan. 14, City: Cambridge State: MassachusettsProgram: AES
Description:Lockheed Martin Energy Storage is commercializing a new flow battery technology for low-cost, grid-scale energy storage to support renewable energy integration and grid modernization. The flow battery is based on a novel battery chemistry comprising aqueous metal-ligand coordination compounds. We are seeking a Research Engineer to drive the development, testing, and deployment of an innovative electrochemical technology enabling large-scale production of our electrolytes.
The successful candidate will have graduate-level training in electrochemical systems (batteries, fuel cells, electrolyzers, solar cells) and experience with electrochemical device fabrication, testing, and diagnostics. Industrial experience is desirable but not required. The individual will work closely with a team of chemists and chemical engineers to scale, test, and characterize devices based on a proven electrosynthetic concept. The individual must be flexible, able to adapt to a fast-paced, dynamic work environment, and able to work independently and as part of a team.
Relocation: Relocation assistance is possible for this exciting position.
The Locale: Cambridge, Massachusetts and the surrounding communities offer an exciting and vibrant place to work and to live. Cambridge is just across the river from Boston and is located in eastern Massachusetts. Cambridge is home to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University. Cambridge, is also the birthplace of many startup companies due to the high amount of brain power produced by these schools and also from nearby Tufts University, Boston College, Boston University, Brandies University, Wellesley College, Babson College, and Northeastern University. Nearby communities would include scenic coastal towns such as Swampscott, Salem, and Marblehead. To the west are communities such as Belmont, Brookline, Watertown, Waltham, Lincoln, and Concord. Our Lockheed Martin AES site is located somewhat close to the Alewife Station which is a major MBTA transit hub with access to the Red Line with service to Boston and bus lines with service to surrounding neighborhoods and adjacent communities. If you like living in right in the city, or out in the suburbs, or near the ocean, our location will offer ample choices for you. Where can you get to from Cambridge and Boston? Cape Cod is less than 90 minutes to the southeast. The White Mountains of New Hampshire are 2.5 hours to the north. Providence, RI is about 2 hours to the southwest. Montreal is about 5 hours to the northwest.
Basic Qualifications:
• PhD in a physical science or engineering discipline
• Technical proficiency in electrochemical device testing
• Proficiency in English (written and spoken)
Desired Skills:
• Detailed knowledge of electrochemical cell components, including mechanism of operation and known failure modes
• Programming in LabVIEW and Python or MATLAB
• Experience with chemical process design and economic modeling
• Demonstrated ability to manage testing assets and junior test staff and/or technicians
