SuperDielectrics (SD) is pioneering a breakthrough battery technology designed for the high-power markets of the future, supporting the global shift to electrification. Our water-based batteries deliver market-leading performance through a novel polymer separator, combined with zinc halide electroactive species and carbon-based porous electrodes.
To accelerate commercialisation, SD operates a fully integrated product development model - from advanced materials through to cells, modules and packs - underpinned by in-house battery management systems.
Our lead polymer separator technology has reached the point where it is ready to transition from laboratory development into pilot-scale manufacture. As the Development Scale-up Engineer, you will lead that transition, taking ownership of process development, industrialisation, technology transfer and manufacturing readiness. Working alongside the Polymer Application Scientist, who will continue to develop the next generation of separator technologies to meet evolving product and customer requirements, you will establish a robust manufacturing platform that delivers today's products while remaining flexible enough to adopt future material innovations as they are introduced.
You will work within the Product team, collaborating closely across engineering, application testing and commercial functions to translate innovation into deliverable products.
This is a rare opportunity to join a high-growth, entrepreneurial business at a pivotal stage. While experience in battery technologies is advantageous, we actively welcome candidates from adjacent fields - bringing fresh perspectives to complex engineering challenges. In return, we offer a world-class environment to develop deep expertise in next-generation energy storage.
