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.
