Job Title: Product Engineer (Battery Electrode Materials / Coatings)
Location: Somerset, NJ (Onsite)
Type: Contract-to-hire
Hours: 8am–5pm or 9am–6pm (flex)
Pay: $28–$36/hr (depending upon experience)

Overview: A specialty materials company focused on advanced battery materials and nanotechnology - they design and manufacture materials used in lithium-ion and next-generation batteries.

Why this role is different
This is an engineering-forward, hands-on materials role (not a technician position). You’ll be working at the intersection of materials science + electrode processing + manufacturing scale-up, with growth potential.

What you’ll do

  • Design, develop, and help manufacture battery electrodes, including formulation and processing of:
  • Active material + conductive carbon + binder systems
  • Prepare and optimize powders, dispersions/slurries, and coated films
  • Characterize powders, films, and dispersions (quality, morphology, performance-related properties)
  • Support development of both traditional battery materials and new active materials intended for commercialization
  • Document experiments clearly and collaborate cross-functionally (R&D/manufacturing/customer-facing teams)

Must-haves

  • BS/MS in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or Materials Science & Engineering
  • Hands-on experience with powders + slurries/dispersion + coating/film formation (core requirement)
  • Some exposure to battery electrodes (any chemistry is OK)
  • Working knowledge of wet chemistry and/or solid-state chemistry
  • Comfortable with standard lab equipment and hands-on experimental work

Nice-to-haves

  • Electrode processing: slurry mixing, viscosity/rheology, wet coating, tape casting/doctor blade, drying, calendering
  • Battery materials background (Li-ion / Na-ion / solid-state): cathode/anode powders, conductive carbons, solid electrolytes
  • Powder/film characterization: particle size, BET surface area, SEM, XRD, DSC/TGA (or similar)

Key skills

Battery electrode processing

  • Slurry formulation (aqueous and NMP-based), dispersion, deagglomeration
  • Coating (tape casting / doctor blade / roll-to-roll concepts), drying, film uniformity
  • Electrode composition optimization (active material / carbon / binder ratios)
  • Powder and film characterization; particle morphology control

Battery materials

  • Cathode materials (Li-ion / Na-ion): NMC/NCA/LFP/LMO/LNMO (and related oxides/phosphates)
  • Anode materials: graphite (natural/synthetic), hard carbon, silicon–carbon, lithium titanate (LTO)
  • Electrolyte / solid electrolyte materials: polymer/ceramic composite electrolytes; solid-state electrolyte concepts (neicorporation.com)
  • Conductive additives / carbons: conductive carbon black, graphene/advanced carbons (as applicable), activated carbon (neicorporation.com)
  • Binders (common electrode binder systems): PVDF, CMC, SBR (latex), PTFE (as applicable)
  • Typical electrode solvents/process chemicals: NMP (non-aqueous processing), water-based binder processing
