<div>Mangrove Lithium, a Vancouver based company, has developed a breakthrough platform for the most cost-effective production of battery grade lithium hydroxide and carbonate from diverse input streams and assets. Mangrove’s modular solution can be scaled to any capacity and co-located with upstream lithium producers or cathode and cell manufacturers. The platform technology is being commercialized for the conversion of waste brines to chemicals and desalinated water. The company recently attracted funding through Breakthrough Energy, BMW i Ventures, and BDC Capital and is working towards the deployment of a first-of-a-kind commercial plant.  Position Mangrove is seeking an exceptional individual to play a key role in developing and commercializing its technology. The Senior R&amp;D Engineer/Scientist will work on investigating and improving key components of Mangrove’s technology in the technology development department and this role will be involved in the design, development, testing, characterization, and scaling of advanced electrolyzer components. The right candidate for this position will have a strong understanding of ion exchange membranes evaluations, and electrochemical principles, electrode evaluations, devices, and electrochemical processes. The individual will have a diverse and well-rounded technical and entrepreneurial skill-set. The position offers the opportunity to work in a dynamic, highly motivated team with significant potential for growth and career development. The position also offers the opportunity to begin a career in the fast-expanding lithium-ion battery sector.  Required Education, Skills and Experience <ul><li> MSc or PhD in chemical engineering, chemistry, materials science/engineering, mechanical engineering, or related fields. </li><li> Minimum 10 years industrial experience in membranes evaluations and electrochemical engineering.
