Electrochemical Process Engineer

About The Role:

What You’ll Do:

• Develop and implement innovative electrochemical process technologies to advance the functional performance of novel microsystems.  


• Develop enabling new additive and subtractive techniques – e.g., leveraging combinations of electrochemical machining, deburring, polishing, anodizing, and electrochemical/electroless plating.


• Design chemical formulations, such as etchants and plating baths, involving acids, bases, and salts in solution, as well as additives that control side reactions.


• Apply advanced electrochemical techniques toward closed-loop learning and process control, such as CV, LSV, EIS, chronoamperometry, RDE, and QCM.


• Design and perform bench-top experiments and analyze , summarize, document, and report out developed procedures, experimental data, and key findings.

What You’ll Need:

• Disciplines of study preferred: Electrochemistry, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Corrosion Science, Materials, or related fields.


• Understanding of kinetics, mass transport, and thermodynamics as they apply to chemical/electrochemical systems.


• Ability to apply fundamental electrochemical principles to chemical formulation, etching, polishing, and plating for commercial applications.


• Hands-on lab experience designing, modifying, and operating electrolytic cells to perform electrochemical processes (candidates with experience solely in galvanic cells will not be considered).


• Ability to characterize aqueous electrochemical systems to fine-tune electrochemical parameters (voltage, current, electrolyte composition) based on material-specific responses and desired surface finish.


• Experience using a variety of surface characterization techniques, such as SEM, EDS, XRF, profilometry, XPS, AFM, FTIR.


• Experience with CAD software for 2D layouts is preferred.


• Bachelor’s degree, 2+ years of work experience.
