Stellantis has crafted a bold strategic plan that paves the way to achieve carbon net zero by 2038. To deliver this objective the introduction of advanced technologies in Powertrain (like new energy storage cells), Electric and Electronics devices (like embedded electronics as well as electrical motors) involves more and more the knowledge on raw materials as key skill in the product development. In Global Purchasing and Supply Chain team (GPSC), the Materials and Technical Expertise group (MTE) is in charge to deal with raw materials technologies to secure them.
- Characterization (chemical and physical) of active materials (CAM, AAM, ELECTROLYTES, SEPARATOR, BINDERS) in Li-ion batteries Gen3, Gen4, Gen5 to define the cells’ specs and rise the performances
- Electro-Chemical phenomena occurring in CAM, AAM to guarantee performances and cell healthy
- Qualification of re-used and re-cycled raw materials in advanced CAM, AAM, ELECTROLYTES, SEPARATORS and impact on product performances and to linked to circularity technologies used
- Support and follow the development of new chemical materials: water-based binders, 100% Si based Anodes
- Modelling and Simulation of materials in terms of crystal lattices to evaluate the electrochemical benefits (stability, charge carrier, mobility)
- Expertise in Materials Science focusing on Physical & Chemical validation of raw materials for elect materials like Nickel, Cobalt, Manganese, Graphite, Lithium, Organic material & recycled raw materials
- Charge – discharge curves (SOC, C-rate) for material evaluation
- Eco-design: how to design the CAM and AAM to optimize the recycling and closed-loop phases of cells
- Modelling of the behaviors of the raw materials in electrodes: salts and chemical/physical links
- Knowledge in manufacturing and transformation processes of precursors that allow the optimization of RM in final components: CAM AAM and separator
- Laboratory evaluation of charge/discharge profiles (SOC, C-rate)
- Physical Chemical validation of Raw material as microscopy (SEM, FIB, HRSEM, AFM, STM, IPC, XRF)
- Coating technologies of raw materials for precursors and electrodes
- Electrochemical phenomena involved in energy storage (Li-ion cells)
- Technologies of manufacturability/transformation for precursor materials enable CAM, AAM
- Qualification for CAM AAM materials
- Modelling and Simulation of materials in terms of crystal lattices (Li salts)
- Established network in the supply chain for precursor production and transformation
- Bachelors Degree in Materials Science, Chemistry, Electrochemistry, Chemical Engineer or equivalent
- A minimum of 7 years experience in refining and transformation of the raw material
- Background in chemistry of solid state / crystallinity of metals (Nickel, Cobalt, Lithium) / physics of solid matter
- Experience in working with multidisciplinary teams
- Able create synthesis and to draw-up technical reports
- PhD in chemistry
- Professional experience in this field of activity
- Motivation to work on innovative and new technical topics in constantly changing world
