Job DescriptionAccording to the newly passed Inflation Reduction Act, ONLY Electric Vehicles that have at least 50% of battery components produced in the US by 2024 will qualify for rebates. This number changes to 100% by 2028. EV manufacturers are going to need to meet these new sourcing thresholds now or find their vehicles don't qualify for consumer rebates. Our technology SOLVES that problem!
Nth Cycle is a metal processing technology company. Our electro-extraction technology helps recyclers and miners capture more critical minerals-for use in lithium-ion battery manufacturing, among other things-while dramatically reducing costs and emissions.
Position Description:
This position will focus on basic lab operations needed for the characterization of materials collected by an electro-extraction technology for Li-ion battery recycling. The project involves using basic lab techniques to collect samples, prepare samples for analysis, and learn multiple characterization techniques. Day-to-day responsibilities will include general laboratory operations, developing technical proficiencies for preparing, handling, and running samples through various instruments. This position will be in constant communication with suppliers, the R&D team, and Product Lead to achieve fast passed objectives as a team leader, team member, and technical contributor.
Key Responsibilities and Accountabilities:
Qualifications and Experience:
Our Culture:
You won't find another team like ours. We believe in open, honest communication, and enjoying our work while changing the world. We work quickly but with intention-we've scaled our technology in size 100x in the past year. We're mission-oriented and think big-we're focused
on reducing gigatons CO2 emissions from the atmosphere by 2050. And we value the perspectives and opinions of our colleagues while pushing each other to excel. We're a dynamic team looking for a new team member who's also passionate about addressing climate change and advancing the clean energy industry. Consistent with our commitment to diversity & inclusion, we value colleagues with the ability to work on diverse teams and with a diverse range of people.
