Industry Background: 
Energy storage systems is a rapidly emerging field. Over the last few years, supply-chain
constraints and significant safety incidents arising from lithium-ion batteries globally have
resulted in a dramatic increase in costs and reduced confidence in the reliability of the
technology. Alsym is working on an exciting proprietary aqueous battery technology that is
expected to compete with state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries while offering the technology
at a fraction of the cost and with inherent non-flammability.

Key Qualifications:
*BS or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Material Science and
Engineering, Chemistry, or a related field.
*Minimum 5+ years of industry experience working with powders or particles, preferably at a
pilot-scale. 
*Experience scaling one or more processes from research to pilot stage is highly desirable.
*Experience with spray drying or other particle size or morphology modification processes is
required. This may include milling, sieving, as well as other particle optimization processes
such as curing, calcination, and annealing, among others.
*Fundamental understanding of slurry fluid formulation and rheology is required.
*Experience in batteries, catalysts, inorganic pigments, or ceramics is desired.

Roles & Responsibilities:
*Develop processes to engineer particle properties, such as particle size distribution, surface
area, pore volume and surface chemistry.
*Works with process development engineers and scientists to sustain and continuously improve
existing and new particle engineering processes (such as spray drying and milling), including
operations and tracing material movement in the line.
*Assist with particle characterization efforts including techniques such as SEM, EDX, XRD and
particle analyzer. Working knowledge of at least some of the characterization tools is
preferred.
*Support pilot-line scale up efforts, including instituting control plans and quality control
and quality assurance programs. Collaborates across groups to diagnose and troubleshoot
performance issues, conduct FMEA as required.
*Plans and organizes experiments for both prototyping and R&D teams for electrode
engineering, including activities such as milling, calcination, spray-drying, and
carbonization. An ability to apply electrochemical knowledge to particle engineering to enhance
battery performance is a plus.
