Staff Electrolyte Data Scientist

Job Description

Anthro Energy is seeking an Electrolyte Data Scientist to drive data- and model-based innovation in electrolyte formulation for next-generation batteries. This role blends computational chemistry, machine learning, and electrochemical data analysis to accelerate the discovery of high-performance materials. You’ll work cross-functionally with R&D and product teams to translate scientific insight into real-world solutions, enabling safer, longer-lasting energy storage systems. Seniority level will be determined based on the candidate’s experience and qualifications.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

Develop generalizable and predictive models for properties and performance of electrolyte formulations.

Use computational chemistry/atomistic modeling methods to improve the electrolyte component/formulation screening.

Analyze electrochemical testing data, such as cycling behavior, impedance, and voltage curves, to extract performance insights and degradation signatures.

Develop battery cell diagnostics and cycle life predictions.

Apply natural language processing tools and techniques to screen scientific literature and extract relevant chemical and performance data.

Collaborate with the product team to ensure electrolyte designs align with customer specifications.

Communicate findings through technical presentations and data reports, driving decision-making in R&D and product.
