Urban Electric Power (UEP) is commercializing a breakthrough Zinc anode battery technology for stationery energy storage applications, originally developed by the City University of New York (CUNY) energy institute. Created from the same environmentally sustainable materials as disposable alkaline batteries, UEP's innovative rechargeable batteries offer a safer, lower-cost, high-performance alternative to lead acid and Li-ion batteries. UEP batteries could play a crucial enabling role in India's energy strategy that leverages renewable resources such as Solar and WindKRA:Materials Research for cathode developmentSeparator developmentCell and battery developmentFailure analysis of cell/batteryMaterials CharacterizationOrganizational ImperativesJob Description:Materials Research for cathode developmentUnderstanding failures of the state of art and root cause analysisLiterature surveySelection of materialsElectrochemical experimentationSeparator developmentComplete analysis of existing separator to understand the requirement for our chemistryVendor developmentIn house developmentElectrochemical experimentationCell and battery development Build cells and battery with selected materials and developed separatorsCell and battery level testing with different protocolsFailure analysis of cell/batteryDissect failed cells (lab/field)Understand the failuresFind the solution for the mitigationMaterials CharacterizationComplete understanding all scientific tools/instrumentsHand on experience in operation and analysisAnalytics and interpretation skillsOrganizational Imperatives Achieving Operational Excellence such as Kaizen, CII Business Excellence, etc.Statutory Compliances: Meet all compliance requirements, both statutory in nature and those required by G&B.Requisite Qualification & Experience:M.Sc Chemistry/Applied Chemistry/Materials Chemistry with 8 Years of work experience in battery research (Lead acid/ Lithium/ Sodium/Zinc ion) OR PhD qualification, 8+ years of work experience in battery research (Lead acid/ Lithium/ Sodium/Zinc ion) PreferredPh.D. in Materials Chemistry/Materials Science and Engineering3 years in Zn-MnO2 research experienceEssential Skills Required:Fundamental knowledge in materials science, electrochemistry, electrochemical technologies, batteries and separatorsHands on experience in the development of cathode materials, characterization, and electrochemical studies of separators for energy storage applicationsHands on experience in handling high-end material characterization equipment (SEM/XRD/FTIR) and analyticsState-of-the-art experimental/theoretical and interpretive skills to technical problemsGood technical writing and presentation skills
