Start-Up | Electrolytes​/Chemistry Expert

Ingenn is the Head Hunting company solely focused on the search and selection of technical profiles and engineers.
The Partner
We are looking for an Electrolytes / Chemistry Expert to be hired on a permanent contract with one of our clients, an innovative Start‑Up in the chemical‑engineering sector. Our client specializes in renewable energy and, in particular, in the research, development and prototyping of new green batteries and long‑duration energy storage systems.

The Role
Develop and optimize electrolyte formulations to improve stability, efficiency, and lifetime
Investigate crossover, imbalance drivers, and mitigation strategies (operational and hardware‑related)
Define electrolyte operating windows (concentration, temperature, pH / alkalinity, impurity tolerance)
Lead analytical characterization (e.g., titration, UV‑Vis / Raman / FTIR where applicable, ICP / IC support, viscosity / conductivity)
Evaluate materials compatibility (membranes, electrodes, seals, wetted parts) and support qualification
Create electrolyte QC procedures and acceptance criteria for pilot / manufacturing readiness
Plan and execute structured experiments and report results in a decision‑oriented way
Support scale‑up activities (mixing, handling, storage, safety procedures)
Draft procedures, reports and technical documentation in general

Job Requirements
Master's degree or PhD in chemistry / chemical engineering or equivalent qualification
Previous experience of at least 5 years in the development of electrolyte formulations and / or research projects in the electrochemical field, preferably with focus on chemical analysis, analytical characterization and materials compatibility in redox flow batteries and / or alkaline systems
A proven ability to conduct structured laboratory experiments with high reproducibility, including skills in analytical techniques (titration, spectroscopy, conductivity / viscosity) and rigorous technical documentation is a mandatory requirement
Excellent level of English (B2 minimum)
The knowledge of Italian language level C1 or C1 is ideal but not mandatory
