We are seeking a highly motivated electrochemist to join our R&D team and drive electrochemical product development. This role involves researching and developing new products and technologies based on electrochemical and photoelectrochemical systems measurement cells, potentiostats, and galvanostats.

At Ossila, we manufacture, source, and develop a wide range of scientific equipment in Sheffield, including potentiostats, electrochemical cells, and advanced photoelectrochemical cells. We support green research by providing scientific technologies for CO₂ emissions research, clean water and energy development, battery and solar cell materials, and more.

Our R&D team has significant expertise in the application of the products we develop and the fundamentals of engineering and control systems. As a product development electrochemist, you will initially focus on the product development of electrodes, electrochemical cells, and photoelectrochemical cells for application in cyclic voltammetry, electrocatalytic reactions, corrosion tests, fuel cells, and batteries. You will also take the initiative for upgrading our existing potentiostat and developing a prototype galvanostat.

• Product development of electrodes, electrochemical cells, and photoelectrochemical cells.
• Providing quality customer support and service to our customers.
• Content development for electrochemical products including white papers, videos and graphics.
• Working with our test and measurement team to upgrade our existing potentiostat for corrosion studies, electrochemical synthesis, and battery research.
• Developing a prototype design of a galvanostat by working with application scientists and engineers, pairing our existing electronic sub‑units with custom, precision‑designed circuitry.

We are looking for a proactive electrochemist with strong foundational skills in electrochemistry, broad existing knowledge, and an eagerness to learn and apply new technologies. You should be passionate about product development and customer service, keen on problem‑solving, and enthusiastic about the full lifecycle of product development.

• You hold a PhD in electrochemistry, electrocatalytic research, or a similar degree.
• You wish to dedicate yourself to helping the community through the development of high‑quality, low‑price electrochemical products with expert customer service.
• You have demonstrable experience in one of the following domains:
  • Hands‑on expertise with cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, fuel cells, electrocatalytic CO₂ reduction or HER/OERs.
  • Hands‑on experience with potentiostats, galvanostats, or both.
• You are an expert in electrochemical reactions and electrochemical characterisations and have experience working with electrochemical cells or photoelectrochemical cells.
• You are a proactive problem‑solver with the resourcefulness to research and test solutions independently, supported by our experienced R&D team.
• You enjoy being part of a team and fostering a collaborative environment.

• Experience in procurement supply chain management.
• Experience in customer service with strong problem‑solving, organisational, and communication skills.
• Experience in electronic product design and development.

• Genuine independence where commercial and career progression are prioritised.
• A potential path to full‑time employment as an R&D Engineer upon successful completion of the initial development projects.
• A long‑running discretionary profit share scheme.
• Regular tea & cake company catch‑ups.
• Free on‑site parking with marked bays.
• Secure bike storage and shower facilities.
• Open‑plan collaborative office/lab space.
