Mitra Chem is a specialty chemicals innovator focused on solving 3 problems :

  • Speed - developing a proprietary machine learning advantage to significantly reduce the time to bring battery materials products from lab to market
  • Iron-Rich Cathodes - an initial product focus on lithium-ion battery materials for mass electrification
  • Scale - building US manufacturing capacity for Inflation Reduction Act compliance

We recently were awarded >

$125M in grants from the Department of Energy and State of Michigan to develop our first domestic manufacturing asset. With teams across multiple offices in Asia and the USA, Mitra Chem is constantly looking for motivated team members across a variety of functions. Join our team and be part of the growing battery revolution.

We are seeking a motivated and hands-on Chemical Process Engineer to join our  team and support the scale-up of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) manufacturing processes.  This role is ideal for someone with pilot production and / or manufacturing experience who can take ownership of process scale-up from lab to pilot-production, troubleshoot on the ground. If you thrive in fast-paced environments and are eager to make a direct impact on commercial-scale battery material production,  this role is for you!

Responsibilities :

  • Plan and execute pilot-scale process trials for LFP synthesis.
  • Take a first principles engineering approach to root-causing issues and proposing improvements to process.
  • Conduct process improvements in the lab-scale and deliver sameness at the pilot-scale.
  • Balance both process improvement and generation of large customer samples for qualification.
  • Conduct process data collection and analysis to monitor performance, and drive decisions on data.
  • Identify  bottlenecks, and improve yield and throughput.
  • Partner with Lab team and QA / QC to ensure product quality meets specification on scale-up trials
  • Lead DOE (Design of Experiments) or other structured improvement efforts to  fine-tune process parameters
  • Regular travel to Asia expected (2-3 weeks every 2 months)
  • Ability to speak Mandarin is a plus
  • Role involves regular time in pilot plant and manufacturing areas
  • Occasional off-shift or weekend support may be required for trials
  • Qualifications :

  • B.S or M.S. in Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering, or related fields
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in specialty chemicals manufacturing, especially in  pilot or production scale
  • Familiarity with scale-up challenges in LFP synthesis processes is a plus!
  • Demonstrated ability to execute and manage pilot-scale experiments with minimal supervision
  • Strong understanding of powder processing techniques such as wet milling,  spray drying, calcination, and jet milling
  • Proven track record of working in fast-paced manufacturing environments and delivering results
  • Ability to lift 25-30 lbs and wear appropriate PPE
  • Benefits

  • Competitive compensation package including company equity
  • Comprehensive benefits including health, vision and dental insurance, Tax-free spending accounts, along with life and disability insurances
  • 401k matching and savings programs
  • Flexible time off with company holidays
  • Free daily lunch and snacks
