Battery Product Development & Client Engagement Leader
Our client is a leader in advanced battery innovation, combining materials science, electrochemistry, and AI guided discovery to support global OEMs across mobility, energy storage, and electrification. As they scale international partnerships, they are seeking a technical leader to guide customer facing product development.
This role blends technical ownership with client engagement. You will lead strategic programs with major OEM partners, define requirements for next generation battery technologies, and translate complex R&D findings into products that are manufacturable, scalable, and validated for demanding applications. You will guide the product roadmap, shape technical milestones, and coordinate tightly with R&D, materials engineering, testing, and manufacturing teams.
Your work will span concept development, prototype definition, validation planning, DOE execution, safety analysis, failure mode assessment, and oversight of the lab to prototype to customer qualification pipeline. This is an opportunity to influence real world deployment of advanced battery systems and play a central role in aligning future technology with commercial needs.
Ideal Profile:
PhD in Chemical Engineering or Materials Science, strong background in electrochemistry and battery engineering, leadership experience with OEM programs, and expertise in process optimisation, failure analysis, and product scaling.
