Job Description
Datalytica is seeking an
Advanced Energy Technical Advisor
to support DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) on an exciting program involving advanced battery chemistry and energy systems. Job Overview Datalytica has an immediate opening in Arlington, VA, for an onsite Technical Advisor to support DARPA in its mission to advance energy resilience through cutting-edge battery technology. The ideal candidate will have a PhD or Master's Degree with 1-2 years experience in Battery Chemistry or Engineering, along with an active DoD Secret Clearance. As a Technical Advisor, you will provide strategic oversight and technical guidance to research teams working on high-rate carbon dioxide chemical reduction processes and materials for selective carbon dioxide capture. You will ensure that the development of portable, rechargeable power systems align with the program's goals, including integrating fuel energy density with battery flexibility. You will also advise on technical challenges and best practices to enhance energy resilience and reduce logistical dependencies. In addition to technical oversight, this role involves coordinating meetings, assessing performer progress, projecting outcomes, and ensuring adherence to project management best practices across DARPA and its IV&V (Independent Verification and Validation) entities. Key Responsibilities Provide expert guidance on battery chemistry and energy systems, particularly in the context of high-rate carbon dioxide chemical reduction and materials for CO₂ capture.
