We are building a state-of-the-art facility and a world-class team of technologists for R&D into next-generation battery cells, and now we are looking for Senior Material Scientists to make it happen. Are you ready to take the chance to work at the forefront of energy storage R&D?
Volvo Cars is one of the most well-known and respected car brands in the world. Northvolt is a leading supplier of sustainable, high-quality battery cells and systems, dedicated to delivering the world’s greenest lithium-ion battery. Together, we have formed a joint venture, NOVO Energy, to power the next generation of pure electric Volvo Cars.
The Material Technology team is a highly diverse and international team. Together we bring new battery materials to market in real, mass-market automotive products. You will see the results of your work on roads around the globe and you’ll help bring a new generation of mobility to life.
What You’ll Do
Your work will focus on understanding the fundamentals of new materials and how they influence the performance of automotive batteries. You will plan and execute experiments, validate new analytical methods, and analyze data to assess which new materials, deployed together, will enable NOVO to meet performance requirements for next-generation Volvo Cars.
Design and execute experiments. Based on sound statistical methods, plan and deliver efficient experimental campaigns that provide actionable information about new battery cathode materials & manufacturing methods to cell designers.
Skills & Requirements
To enjoy this role, you are comfortable in new settings, working on open-ended problems where no prescribed solution exists. When your experimental data doesn’t look right, you’re the first person to take a deep, in-person look at the experiment to understand and durably fix root causes of drift.
You thrive from extracting clean signals from noisy experiments and to produce high-quality technical work with minimal guidance and underdefined inputs. You are a curious and passionate team player who likes to have fun while achieving the goal!
