Toronto, Canada Join the e-Zinc team Full time

**About e-Zinc**:
e-Zinc is an energy storage venture based in Toronto with a breakthrough technology poised to disrupt the market. As the global energy grid moves to higher levels of penetration of renewable energy, there will be an exponential increase in demand for low-cost, flexible, long-duration energy storage. This is the market targeted by e-Zinc, the first in the world to "metalize" electricity.

e-Zinc is on an incredible trajectory, which is illustrated by many significant funding and award milestones that recognize its unique technology and strong business plan, including:

- Recently closed a **$30M Series A financing**:

- Won a $1.6M grant through Breakthrough Energy Solutions Canada
- Won a $2M grant from Sustainable Technology Development Canada
- Won a USD $1.3M grant through California Energy Commission
- Won a $700k grant as a finalist in NRCan's Charging the Future Challenge

Now that the company is well-capitalized, e-Zinc is now looking to expand its talented team to bring its technology to market to support the renewable energy transformation.

**Opportunity**:
e-Zinc is searching for a dynamic Research Associate to work in the Technology Development department on the air cathode team. The air cathode is a critical component of e-Zinc's cell and hugely governs its life-time and discharge power. This is a rare opportunity that will provide a platform for the right person to help shape an up-and-coming company's technology and contribute meaningfully to its success by executing various developments, benchmark testing, and data analysis on our air cathodes and materials. Reporting to the Electrochemical Scientist - Team Lead, this role will be based out of our facility in Etobicoke, Ontario.

**Accountability**:
**Position scope and responsibilities**:

- Conduct electrochemical characterization on air cathode membranes
- Analyze and interpret experimental data using various data analysis software (e.g., Excel, Python and Minitab)
- Log test results in data reporting templates and generate test reports/presentations that include conclusions and follow-up steps
- Develop new testing procedures and identify/implement process improvements
- Communicate actively, effectively, and promptly with the supervisor and project manager about project status, findings, and experimental observations
- Report and troubleshoot issues related to instrumentation and testing.
- Collaborate with other teams on cross-functional projects
- Maintain a safe environment for yourself and others by reviewing risk assessments, job safety protocols, standard operating procedures, and MSDS
- Occasional additional work hours for tight project/production deadlines

**Qualifications**:
Required:

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in engineering; preferably chemical engineering, materials engineering, nanotechnology, or chemistry
- Proven experience working in an academic or industrial lab setting for electrochemical systems
- Previous work experience in energy storage devices
- Have an in-depth understanding of electrochemical principles and materials science
- Experience with Python and/or other programming languages to streamline data processing and analysis
- Have a broad knowledge of equipment, techniques and tools used in testing and characterizing electrochemical systems, especially batteries
- Motivated to create a positive impact on the environment and passionate about bringing new CleanTech energy innovation to the market
- Disciplined, hard-working with good organizational skills in keeping the working area clean and tidy
- Good communication skills - verbal, written, and presentation skills
- Resourceful and takes strong personal accountability and commitment to achieving and exceeding goals and objectives

Assets:

- Experience on the design, formulation, and evaluation of fuel cell, metal-air battery electrodes or battery electrodes/materials, specifically for zinc-based batteries
