Cosmo HR - HR (Project)Manager - Current projects: SOLiTHOR and Winlock
Who we are
SOLiTHOR is a high-tech company which is utilising 10 years of research by imec, the prestigious Belgian R&D institute in nanoelectronics and digital technologies.
Building on this unique and patented research, SOLiTHOR is developing and aiming to commercialise the next all-solid-state lithium batteries for the electromobility sector. Our mission is to scale up our all-solid-state battery technology and apply it to electric vehicles – in the air, on land and sea.
To strengthen our growing team of engineers and technologists, we are looking for a motivated and talented Industrial Sol-Gel Production Expert.
Main responsibilities
* Develop and optimize sol-gel formulations to enable the upscaling of their synthesis processes to large-volume production while preserving their performance as precursors of solid-state electrolytes and composite electrodes.
* Transfer the technology from lab- to pilot-production scale, ensuring industrial processes and equipment involved are cost-efficient, scalable, well-documented and compliant with Health, Safety & Environment regulations.
* Identify ideal process monitoring metrology to establish and maintain statistical process control to ensure stable specifications and optimal performance of solid electrolyte materials.
* Conduct thorough analysis of process parameters and product performance, using data analysis and statistical tools to drive improvements (DoE and Response Surface Methodology).
* Collaborate closely with cross-functional R&D teams to pioneer core technologies.
Skills, personality and experience
We are looking for an entrepreneurial individual with a hands-on approach to work - a creative problem solver who is motivated and passionate about the profession, and who thrives in a high-tech and multicultural environment.
Qualifications
* Bachelor or Master’s in Chemical Engineering or Chemistry.
* Proficiency in industrial process development, upscaling methodologies and equipment for sol-gel processes.
* Demonstrated knowledge of sol-gel materials and industrial coating techniques.
* Solid data analysis skills, with experience in process optimization tools such as Design of Experiments, Response Surface Methodology, PFMEA and Statistical Process Control.
* An understanding of lithium-ion battery systems and their components would be advantageous.
Other considerations
* Results-driven and able to deliver quality output within tight deadlines.
* Able to thrive in a high-tech start-up environment where teamwork is key.
* Strong analytical mind and the ability to troubleshoot chemical and technical issues.
* Strong communication skills. A good level of English is mandatory given the multinational character of the start-up.
* Flexible and able to respond to rapidly changing (technological/technical) circumstances.
* Based in Belgium or willing to relocate.
The opportunity
We offer you the opportunity to develop the next generation all-solid-state lithium batteries in a challenging environment. In doing so, you will take on a crucial role within our talented, passionate and multicultural team. You will have the opportunity to help build a company that will have a major global social impact.
SOLiTHOR not only offers you access to top-class equipment and laboratory facilities, but also a competitive salary package with the following benefits:
* Contract of indeterminate duration (40h/week, 12 additional holidays).
* Group insurance.
* Home office compensation.
