Our client, a specialist in advanced materials that supports cleaner energy, electric vehicles, and sustainable solutions, is currently looking to hire a Senior Cell Engineer. The successful candidate will work hands on in the laboratory executing experimental designs, including evaluating new materials, electrode processing, cell assembly and testing and data processing.
 
The Senior Cell Engineer will:

Interact with R&D, cell design and material design teams to effectively and efficiently advance the organisation’s core SiFAB® silicon anode technology.
Manage and take responsibility for Si Anode cell system design optimization including Component Optimization, E Chem Interpretation and feedback whilst working within a wider team and acknowledging all inputs.
Perform in-depth data analysis on experiments and use datasets to justify new experiments.
Lead efforts in material testing and down selection, including electrode processing, cell assembly and testing and data processing.
Write, follow and educate teams on standard operating procedures and keep detailed records for all associated equipment maintenance and material/cell testing.  
The Senior Cell Engineer will have:

D. or equivalent in Battery-related Chemistry, Materials Science, Engineering or a similarly relevant field with 5+ years of experience post-Ph.D. Or M.S. with equivalent work experience (+8 years)
Strong background in silicon anode technology and its electrochemical interactions with cell components (electrolyte, cathode, etc.) is highly preferred.
Knowledge of industrial standards for battery materials, processing, and testing protocols.
Strong knowledge of electrochemical characterization techniques (e.g., EIS, CV, DQ/DV, three-electrode cells).
Extensive hands-on experience in design and fabrication of lithium-ion battery cells from separate components (active materials, slurries, coatings, etc.) to full cell design (coin cell & pouch cells).

Where to Advertise Materials Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising materials science jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool spans physicists, chemists, metallurgists, ceramicists, polymer scientists and computational materials researchers — a highly multidisciplinary community with distinct professional identities, academic networks and job search behaviours. The strongest candidates are typically embedded in university research groups, national laboratories, government-funded programmes or deep tech R&D teams, and move between roles through specialist academic channels, professional societies and sector-specific networks rather than mainstream job boards. This guide, published by MaterialsScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise materials science roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

How Many Materials Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Materials Science Job?

If you’re navigating the materials science job market, it can feel like the list of tools, techniques and platforms you should learn grows every week. One job advert mentions electron microscopy, another mentions X-ray diffraction, yet another wants experience with thermal analysis, spectroscopy, simulation software, statistical packages, manufacturing QA systems and more. With so many specialised methods and instruments, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed — and to start thinking you need to know everything just to be considered. Here’s the honest truth most materials science hiring managers won’t tell you directly: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every piece of equipment or software. They hire you because you can use the tools you do know to answer real questions, make reliable measurements and communicate results clearly. Tools are essential — no question — but they are secondary to problem-solving ability, scientific reasoning and experimental rigour. So the real question is: how many materials science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? The precise number depends on the role you want, but for most job seekers the answer is far fewer than you think. This article breaks down what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so your CV and interviews stand out for the right reasons.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Materials Science Job Applications (UK Guide)

Materials science is a broad, interdisciplinary field that spans academia, industry, research, engineering and manufacturing. Whether you’re applying for roles in R&D, process development, quality assurance, failure analysis, nanomaterials or product scale-up, hiring managers make key decisions within the first few seconds of scanning your application. In competitive job markets, simply listing skills or qualifications isn’t enough. Hiring managers are looking for signals of relevance, technical depth, problem-solving capability and real-world impact — and they expect those signals to be clear right from the top of your CV or portfolio. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers typically look for first in materials science applications, why they look for it, and how you can optimise your CV, cover letter and portfolio so your application stands out and gets past the first filter.
