Job Description: Lockheed Martin Energy is commercializing the GridStar Flow battery for long-duration grid energy storage to enable enhanced grid resiliency and decarbonization. The Client flow battery is based on a proprietary chemistry comprising redox-active inorganic coordination compounds. During this 3-6 month position the candidate will work closely with PhD chemists and engineers to develop improved, scalable synthetic routes and processes to target compounds as next-generation electrolytes.
Location: GridStar Flow development facility in Andover, MA (20 miles north of Boston).
Job Duties Will Include
Working independently in a chemistry lab to execute chemical reactions (e.g. organic and inorganic chemistry, air-free synthesis, gram-to-kilogram scale reactions) and evaluate progress against success metrics (e.g. reaction yield and process cost).Analytical data collection and interpretation to guide further optimization and cost reduction (e.g. product analysis by HPLC, LC-MS, NMR, UV-vis, cyclic voltammetry, and other characterization techniques).Supporting general lab upkeep and management.Compiling and communicating results to colleagues and management.Writing summary reports and technology transfer packages as required.
Required Basic Qualifications
PhD in a field of chemistry.Expertise in organic and organometallic chemical synthesis.Experience using analytical data to guide and optimize chemical processes.Excellent presentation and communication skills.
Desired Skills
Experience with HPLC, LC-MS, NMR, UV-vis, cyclic voltammetry, and other analytical and/or electrochemical characterization techniques.Experience executing kinetic monitoring experiments.Experience with pilot scale equipment.
