Role details

Voya Energy is commercializing a groundbreaking metal-based fuel to rapidly deploy reliable, clean, affordable electricity anywhere on Earth. Our breakthrough technology allows us to convert abundant, high-energy, recycled metals into a powerful, safe, durable fuel. We are also creating a foundational new category of energy generation devices, delivering fast access to power, free from the limitations of the grid. We are assembling a highly-experienced team of visionary founders, tenacious researchers, multi-disciplinary first principles engineers, battle-tested operators and world-class investors to deliver on Voya's ambitious mission. Join us in fueling our electric future.

Responsibilities

Develop improved molecular electrocatalysts to improve the power, efficiency, and energy density of Voya’s metal-air fuel cells. Identify structure-property relationships, determine mechanism of action and failure, and translate into improved catalyst designs. Work with external vendors to source novel ligands and complexes for both screening and scale-up. Scope custom syntheses, evaluate feasibility and cost. Work with Voya’s product development team to scale and demonstrate your technology from lab to pilot and production-intent systems.

Qualifications

Track record of design and synthesis of molecular functional materials. E.g. coordination complexes, organic redox-active compounds, molecular catalysts, dyes/chromophores, soluble sensors, or flow-battery active materials. Experience with electrochemical systems (e.g. fuel cells, flow batteries, electrolyzers) preferred but not required. Ability to operate in a fast-paced, start-up environment Results-oriented with a strong sense urgency Location: Hayward, CA. Full-time onsite.
