Thin-films R&D engineer
Develop the deposition, growth and characterizations of thin films and related heterostructures.
About Pioniq Technologies:
Our approach is part of an eco-responsible and sustainable logic. This approach is motivated by the absolute need to massively decarbonize energy by promoting e-mobility, rechargeable electronic devices and renewable energies. This fundamental need for decarbonization requires relevant energy storage solutions that themselves address environmental challenges, for example, by eliminating the use of critical materials such as cobalt, nickel and lithium. Beyond the predominant lithium-based technology, it is therefore important to offer a new generation of energy storage devices that meet environmental, user safety and non-toxicity challenges.
Our technology is based on non-toxic solid ionic conductors composed of abundant elements. Our choice for solid systems is justified by the possibilities of miniaturizing, densifying, eliminating the instabilities related to the use of liquids, extending the temperature operating range of the devices and finally the possibility of modeling the materials and interfaces in play as well as their properties by powerful simulation methods. Pioniq Technolgies is hosted in the PC’Up incubator located in the 5th district of Paris, between the Panthéon and the Jardin des Plantes.
Job description :
To achieve our vision of developing disruptive technologies in the field of energy storage, we attach great importance to build a multidisciplinary, diverse and experienced team. Your main mission will be to take charge of the R&D activity concerning the developments on the deposition and characterizations of thin films and related heterostructures.
As part of an emerging fast-growing structure, you will be actively solicited to :
- Develop and structure of the R&D activity concerning thin-films deposition and forming techniques and characterizations.
- Document the experimental research activities in order to establish a solid technical documentation.
- Act as an interlocutor with our industrial and international partners in order to be able to carry out collaborative projects.
- Carry out research activities in our fabrication facility and partner laboratories.
Required qualifications and experience :
- Engineer or PhD in material sciences with a relevant experience in growing and characterizing solid oxide materials. A focus on solid electrolytes or electrodes materials will be appreciated.
- Experience with at least one deposition technique with oxide materials (atomic layer deposition, pulsed laser deposition, sputtering or 3D printing…).
- Strong communication and reporting skills (technical documents, presentations, posters…).
- Fluency in English and French (spoken and written).
