Job Description

We are looking for a Research Engineer to work on vanadium redox flow battery related materials development, with a primary focus on extracting vanadium from petroleum coke (petcoke) and scaling the process from lab to pilot scale. This role combines hands-on experimental work with process design and scale-up, and will play a key role in establishing a pilot line for vanadium recovery.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and optimize processes for extracting vanadium from petcoke and petcoke cinder using hydrometallurgical routes such as leaching, purification, and precipitation.

  • Conduct laboratory-scale experiments to study extraction efficiency, impurity removal, yield, and reproducibility.

  • Convert laboratory processes into pilot-scale flowsheets, including mass and energy balance calculations.

  • Design, set up, and operate pilot-scale equipment for vanadium extraction and powder production.

  • Characterize ex...
