Photocentric

Principle Battery Scientist Photocentric Group is an award-winning manufacturer based in the UK and US. We are innovators of 3D printers, resin, and worldwide leaders of craft stamp manufacturing. We have a core business based on being innovative in photopolymers, for which we received the Queen's Award for Innovation. We have applied our innovations to craft and office stamps, flexographic printing, and 3D printing. We commercialized the first 3D printer based on an LCD screen and manufacture the Liquid Crystal range of 3D printers. We have invented the concept of custom mass manufacturing using 3d printing. We want to transform the way batteries are manufactured, improving their performance and reducing size, weight and cost. We are looking for a Principle Battery Scientist , to help us with this challenge by leading our 3d printed battery activities. The project focuses on the design and manufacture of 3-dimensional battery cells with an optimised performance for a variety of applications, as well as the development of suitable 3d printing materials for this application and the validation of the 3d printed battery cells in a real application. Key responsibilities for our Principle Battery Scientist : - Lead Photocentric Research in batteries, driving a multi-disciplinary project team working on materials, processes and hardware (3D printers) to ensure these are strategically aligned with the business objectives. - Develop novel battery materials from concept to commercialisation. - Work with the engineering team, providing input and setting specifications for the next generation of 3D printers. - Deliver Photocentric's commitment to public funded projects and grants. - Partner with sales, marketing and product management, to ensure customer feedback and market trends are incorporated in the strategic direction. Our ideal Principle Battery Scientist will have the follow skills and experience: - Good working knowledge of batteries. - Solid understanding in polymer physics and polymer chemistry; expertise in formulating a wide range of high-performance materials. - Commercially sound with experience in product development. - Experience in 3D printing or a genuine interest in 3d printing would be preferred but is not essential. - Experience in process optimisation and commercial support; proven track record in commercialising new products. - Inquisitive, creative and resourceful problem-solver. Enjoys autonomy and working in a dynamic environment without losing sight of the long-term objectives. - Highly motivated, hands-on and a proactive individual. - A natural leader who can lead a small team and a project. - Excellent communication skills. Experienced on mentoring junior scientists and creating best practices for the team.
