Stack Engineer

Description

V-Flow Technologies (VFT) is reinventing energy storage with Vanadium redox flow technology, with a vision to develop the cheapest and most scalable Vanadium redox flow batteries in the world. VFT storage solution has an expected life span of 25 years and is proven to be one of the safest and most environmentally friendly battery technologies. VFT founders have deep experience in the renewable space, and Vanadium redox flow technology. VFT is a spin-off of the CleanTech lab of Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, and benefits from unique IP arising from many years of intensive research at NTU.

At this critical juncture of our growth, we are looking for a diligent and experienced Stack Engineer to lead the growing robust team.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and conduct research in development of high power density vanadium redox flow battery stack.
• Design, model, simulate, test, and characterize vanadium redox flow battery stacks of various sizes.
• Perform material and electrochemical characterization (both in-situ and ex-situ techniques such as cell cycling, CV, EIS, segmented cell, polarization tests, pH tracing, spectroscopy, XRD, through plane/ in plane resistivity, etc.) to reduce the stack resistivity and improve the capability to operate at high current density.
• Project management including project planning, progress tracking, manage resources, and work together with interns, research staffs and international collaborators.
• Develop IPs and Publish in high quality journals.
• The project requires an in-depth understanding of electrochemistry, simulation/modelling skills, material fabrication, material characterization tools, and engineering integration of various components of vanadium redox flow battery stacks. The candidate should be able to work on dynamic, product-oriented group and manage the multiple tasks independently.

Qualifications required:

• Master/PhD degree from a reputed university in disciplines like material science or mechanical engineering,
• In-depth knowledge of battery technology, with research experience in vanadium redox flow battery and fuel cell.
• A good publication track record.
• Experience with carbon electrodes and material fabrication for flow batteries
• Experience with physical characterization, chemical characterization, and electrochemical characterization tools (e.g. cell cycling, polarization test, static cell test, segmented cell test, pH tracing, XPS, XRD, FTIR, resistance test, etc.)
• A self-driven person with multi-tasking capability, team player and capable to form a good working environment.
• Advanced skills in CAD tools (AutoCAD, SolidWorks) and simulation (Ansys
• Fluent).
• Some knowledge in 3D printing, CNC machining, injection molding is a plus.

Your benefits

• Receive support in your own self-development (regular feedback and coaching sessions, access to personal development material, workshops, start-up presentations, and networking events)
• Make key decisions that impact the future of the company
• Enjoy regular team lunches and social events
• A secured employment in a constantly growing company and a future-proof industry with a multitude of personal development opportunities
• Work in an environmentally conscious company - we see climate action as a responsibility
• Learning on redox flow batteries and the company competitive edge in the market
• Medical insurance
• Variable bonus
• Competitive benefits scheme

Our company culture

Our team is diverse, international and shares the drive to make a difference and create change.

• We encourage our team to bring in their ideas and take initiatives that make them proud of themselves
• We foster a rapidly scaling working environment with a very entrepreneurial, innovative and collaborative culture
• We see the opportunities, where others see problems
• We never stand still and constantly seek opportunities to improve
