Job Description

Industry Background: Alsym Energy, Inc is a leading innovator in the rapidly changing field of battery energy storage. It is essential for the world to succeed in the transition to sustainable energy and batteries are at the very core of the solution. In fact, the IEA predicts that 60% of CO2 emission reductions in 2030 will be directly related to batteries. This mission is what drives us every day. Over the last few years, supply-chain constraints and significant safety incidents arising from lithium-ion batteries have reduced confidence in the suitability of the technology. We have developed a revolutionary new chemistry that enables the highest performing non lithium-ion battery in the industry, that is inherently non-flammable, non-toxic, and cost effective.

Key Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in a science or engineering discipline such as Chemistry, Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering or similar that demonstrates a clear understanding of the safety risks in chemistry lab activity.
• Minimum of 3 years of industry experience in a research laboratory setting.
• Familiarity with safe chemical handling, materials safety, solvent handling, waste management, and documentation.
• Training in operations and maintenance of standard chemical lab equipment including fume hoods, gloveboxes, and gas cylinders.
• Familiarity with chemical hygiene, mechanical assembly, and safety best practices
• Demonstrated ability to maintain computer-based asset management and preventative maintenance programs.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Oversee procurement, inventory, and the maintenance of lab supplies and equipment; ensure all consumables are adequately stocked.
• Manage consumable inventories, solid and hazardous waste collection sites, and shipping/ receiving of chemicals.
• Manage the calibration, maintenance, and repair of laboratory equipment, liaising with service providers as needed.
• Manage the use and maintenance of glove boxes and associated accessories including gas lines, gas cylinders, catalysts, and vacuum pumps.
• Work closely with scientists and engineers to help plan for and install specialty equipment and maintain operations.
• Maintain safe, clean, and orderly laboratory conditions to improve productivity for other lab users
• Maintain accurate and detailed maintenance records
• Identify opportunities for process optimization and implement improvements to enhance project efficiency and effectiveness
• Assist with safety reviews for experiments and general procedures. Adhere to strict laboratory safety protocols and ensure compliance with all applicable regulations and guidelines.
• This role may require the candidate to occasionally assist with lab support tasks. Such tasks may include assistance in developing or following SOPs to fabricate electrodes, assembling pouch cells, and executing standardized chemical screening tests.
