PlanIT Group
Andover, MA
Full-time

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 ( organic and inorganic chemistry, air-free synthesis, gram-to-kilogram scale reactions) and evaluate progress against success metrics ( reaction yield and process cost).
  • Analytical data collection and interpretation to guide further optimization and cost reduction ( 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.
