Cell Failure Analysis Engineer

No matter which country you’re in, the transition from and economy based on fossil fuels to one based on sustainable energy sources is well underway. It takes slightly different approaches, and it progresses from different starting points depending on the area, but it’s clear, we’re all engaged in a global shared “electrification" challenge.

At BASQUEVOLT our mission Is to develop sustainably the best battery materials and cells that will make possible the mass deployment of electric transportation, stationary energy storage and advanced portable devices.

Our proprietary solid-state battery technology will allow us to develop and commercialize safe, high performance and affordable products for a diverse portfolio of customers, from mobility, stationary energy storage and consumer electronics.

To this end, we offer the position of Cell Failure Analysis Engineer.

MAIN FUNCTIONS

The Cell Failure Analysis Engineer successful candidate will join Basquevolt’s Cell Engineering team and will be responsible for the failure analysis and characterization of Basquevolt’s cells.
