START-UP | R&D MANAGER

Job description

Ingenn is the Head Hunting company solely focused on the search and selection of technical profiles and engineers.

The partner:

We are looking for a R&D Manager to be hired on a permanent contract with one of our clients, an innovative Start-Up in the chemical-engineering sector. Our client specializes in renewable energy and, in particular, in the research, development and prototyping of new green batteries and long-duration energy storage systems.

The role:
  • Define and execute the R&D roadmap across single cell, stack, pilot, and container scale.
  • Standardize test protocols: performance mapping, cycling/aging, efficiency breakdown, and safety-related tests.
  • Apply Design of Experiments (DoE) to optimize stack/system parameters (flow, pressure, compression, temperature, operating windows).
  • Lead scaling-up activities, coordinating build/test iterations and design reviews with engineering teams.
  • Own data quality, reproducibility, analysis workflows, and reporting cadence.
  • Define acceptance criteria for prototypes and pilot builds; support FAT/SAT preparation.
  • Manage lab/test infrastructure needs (instrumentation, test stands, automation requirements) with the controls team.
  • Mentor team members and enforce safe, structured experimentation.
  • Draft procedures, reports and technical documentation in general.

Job requirements

Mandatory skills:
  • Experience in battery engineering / electrochemical system testing (PhD years can be counted as experience if relevant).
  • Proven R&D management or technical leadership in experimental teams.
  • Strong skills in battery testing, scale-up, DoE, and electrochemistry interpretation.
  • Experience defining structured test plans and translating results into engineering actions.
