Director of Polymer Development

Our client uses polymers to extract lithium from aqueous sources of lithium including recycled feed stocks. We also use this polymer in our batteries. We are searching for a polymer scientist with commercially relevant experience who can help us develop and deploy our technology quickly. The most qualified individuals will have expertise in coatings, coating polymers onto metals and understanding compatibility with polymers in various medias.

If selected you will lead the effort in the fabrication of polymers, testing protocols and coating of a particular thickness onto substrates. You will work with our chemical engineer to understand the chemistry of different feedstock the polymer will come into contact with, and our Battery Development Director to target different thicknesses and mechanical properties.
