Process Engineer

We’re helping a growing advanced materials team hire a Process Engineer to support the scale‑up of their porous silicon anode technology. This role combines hands‑on experimentation with process optimisation and offers the opportunity to contribute directly to bringing a new battery material into industrial production.

The Process Engineer will:

• Design and run process development experiments to improve silicon synthesis and downstream processing.
• Support scale‑up activities from lab optimisation through to pilot‑scale implementation.
• Analyse process data using modelling or statistical tools to optimise operating conditions.
• Translate experimental and modelling insights into practical, scalable process improvements.
• Document results, learnings, and contributions to technical reports or IP.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams across electrochemistry, materials characterisation, and product development.

The Process Engineer will have:

• 2–5 years’ experience in process chemistry, materials development, or chemical engineering.
• Hands‑on experience with materials synthesis or chemical processing.
• Strong understanding of reaction chemistry, materials processing, or process optimisation.
• Ability to analyse experimental data and draw clear conclusions.
• Comfort working in a fast‑moving R&D environment.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.

Desirables – It would be great if you also have:

• Experience with process scale‑up or pilot‑scale systems.
• Familiarity with porous materials, silicon chemistry, or battery materials.
• Exposure to process modelling, DOE, or statistical analysis.
• Experience in start‑ups or agile R&D environments.

If you’d like to play a hands‑on role in scaling a next‑generation battery material and enjoy solving real engineering challenges, we’d be happy to share more. Please get in touch or send over a copy of your updated CV.
