R&D Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct research on battery health diagnostics, charge/discharge cycles, and refurbishment methodologies.
• Perform teardown, analysis, and testing of various battery types (e.g., Li-ion, NiMH, LiFePO4) recovered from E-waste.
• Assist in developing SOPs for battery testing, sorting, and reuse/refurbishment processes.
• Work closely with Quality, Production, and Safety teams to ensure compliance with safety standards and regulatory requirements.
• Design and improve jigs, test rigs, and basic electronics setups for evaluating battery cells and packs.
• Analyze test data to determine battery state-of-health (SOH), internal resistance, capacity retention, etc.
• Identify failure modes and root causes in faulty battery cells or packs; suggest corrective actions.
• Stay up-to-date with battery technologies, standards (e.g., UN 38.3, IEC), and best practices in safe battery handling.
• Support pilot projects for second-life battery applications (e.g., energy storage systems, low-power devices).
• Document technical findings, process improvements, and experimental data for knowledge sharing and audits.
