Our inclusive and collaborative culture fosters innovation and creativity, while our commitment to sustainability drives our mission forward.

As a Lead Electrode Engineer at Northvolt, you will play a crucial role in optimizing the wet mixing process for anode and cathode slurries. Drawing upon your extensive experience with mixing technologies, powder and fluid handling, and formulation, you will lead strategic technology decisions and drive improvements in efficiency and quality across our production lines.

Currently the team consist of 5 subject matter experts, who's experienced in a specific processes. We aim to expand the team to at least 10 engineers. Our team's overarching objective is to drive innovation and advancement within the battery industry. This includes introducing new technologies and next-generation products, leading the scale-up process from pilot line to mass production, and resolving bottlenecks by integrating new technologies into existing production lines. We prioritize understanding the fundamental structure-property relationship of the electrode and conduct trials to enhance our understanding and share knowledge with fellow electrode engineers.
