Material Discovery/Development Principle Scientist.
About The Position
This R&D position will be responsible for developing the next generation of battery materials needed to propel the future of Duracell. Through a combination of applied research, prototyping, characterization, leading project teams and coaching/guiding junior technical staff, the successful applicant will play an integral role in identifying and exploring potential paths forward to develop superior battery materials and battery products. While there will be a focus on developing new materials to drive our primary cell business, the role will also involve a longer-term focus on helping the company determine technical leads and the direction for rechargeables. In addition to technical leadership, the role will require strong communication, coaching and collaboration skills to facilitate successful project work within/across R&D project teams, as well as leading external collaboration with partners in academia and industry. This role will be fully onsite in Atlanta, GA but will require training in Bethel, CT. Relocation assistance will be offered if applicable. Duracell is the world’s leading manufacturer and marketer of high-performance alkaline batteries, complemented by a portfolio of high quality, market leading specialty, rechargeable and professional batteries. Duracell’s products power numerous critical professional devices across the globe such as heart rate monitors, defibrillators, telemetry devices, smoke detectors, fire alarms, automated valves and security systems. As the leader in the professional power category, Duracell has a rich history of innovation, continuously introducing batteries that are smaller, thinner, with more energy and longer lasting than competitive brands. Since March 2016, Duracell has found its permanent home within Berkshire Hathaway (ranked #4 World's Most Admired Companies by Fortune Magazine and #3 in the Fortune 500), and will continue to focus on sustainable growth, industry-leading innovation while creating long-term value for our customers and consumers.
