Role Responsibilities:
Develop improved molecular electrocatalysts to improve the power, efficiency, and energy density of Voya’s metal-air fuel cells.
Identify structure-property relationships, determine mechanism of action and failure, and translate into improved catalyst designs.
Work with external vendors to source novel ligands and complexes for both screening and scale-up. Scope custom syntheses, evaluate feasibility and cost.
Work with Voya’s product development team to scale and demonstrate your technology from lab to pilot and production-intent systems.
Qualifications:
Track record of design and synthesis of molecular functional materials. E.g. coordination complexes, organic redox-active compounds, molecular catalysts, dyes/chromophores, soluble sensors, or flow-battery active materials.
Experience with electrochemical systems (e.g. fuel cells, flow batteries, electrolyzers) preferred but not required.
Ability to operate in a fast-paced, start-up environment
Results-oriented with a strong sense urgency
