Description For Mechanical Engineer, Unit Cell R&D

Invinity Energy Systems is at the forefront of energy storage innovation, specializing in vanadium flow batteries for grid-scale applications. Unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries, Invinity's technology offers unique advantages: no degradation, fire-safe operation, and a 25-year continuous operation capability. The company has an impressive track record with 75,000 kilowatt-hours of battery systems deployed across 82 projects in 15 countries, including the largest flow battery installations in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and the UK.

As a Mechanical Engineer in the Unit Cell R&D team, you'll play a crucial role in developing next-generation energy storage solutions. Reporting to the Manager of Unit Cell R&D within the Technology Team, you'll be responsible for advancing the company's products toward higher power density, lower cost, and extended lifetime. This position offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology that directly contributes to the global transition to renewable energy.

The role combines hands-on engineering work with strategic product development, requiring both technical expertise and innovative thinking. You'll be involved in every stage of the development process, from initial concept to prototype testing. The position offers competitive compensation and the chance to work with a global team across operations in the UK, Canada, U.S., Australia, and China.

This is an ideal opportunity for a mechanical engineer passionate about clean energy and eager to make a significant impact in the renewable energy sector. You'll be joining a publicly traded company backed by major institutions like the UK Infrastructure Bank and the U.S. Department of Energy, offering both stability and growth potential.
