Princeton NuEnergy (PNE) is excited to announce future opportunities to join our innovative Research & Development team, focused on pioneering advancements in the direct recycling and upcycling of spent Lithium-ion battery materials. Our mission is to deliver a cost-efficient, environmentally friendly solution to the current industry pain points of high operational costs and low efficiency in battery recycling. We aim to solve these challenges by improving battery recycling efficiency and purity, thereby revolutionizing the lithium-ion battery recycling landscape. About Us: PNE is a lithium-ion battery direct recycling and critical materials recovery innovator, founded out of Princeton University. At its core, PNE's patented recycling technology is based on a low-temperature plasma-assisted separation process (LPAS™) that does not damage but, rather, reclaims and repairs cathode material from spent lithium-ion batteries and manufacturing scrap at half the cost with significantly lower waste when compared with existing traditional recycling processes. Our state-of-the-art laboratory is located in Princeton, New Jersey, where we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of sustainable energy technologies. We are building a team of passionate and talented individuals to drive forward our cutting-edge research initiatives. Potential Roles: We anticipate openings for the following positions in the near future: Research Scientist Process Engineer Technician Ideal Candidates: We welcome applications from candidates with expertise in: Battery cathode material synthesis and related research experience. Plasma physics, particularly in device development and experimental applications. Chemical Engineering (with a focus on inorganic chemistry), Materials Science & Engineering, Chemistry, or related areas of study. If you are passionate about sustainability, innovation, and advancing the future of energy storage, we would love to hear from you!
