Summary
Agratas is a pioneering force in advanced battery technology, driven by a mission to deliver the next generation of sustainable energy solutions. As we expand our world-class R&D centre in Oxford, we are looking for a Battery Cell Test Technician to help shape our electrochemical testing laboratory from the ground up.
This is an exciting opportunity for a hands-on technician with a passion for battery testing, laboratory operations, and continuous improvement. You’ll play a critical role in executing test programs, supporting data reporting, and ensuring the lab operates safely, efficiently, and at the highest technical standards.
Key Responsibility Areas
Electrochemical Test Execution
Set up and execute cell and component testing according to detailed test plans and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
Make minor adjustments to test protocols based on project requirements or observed performance.
Ensure compliance with lab safety policies and participate in safety audits, risk assessments, and improvement initiatives.
Scheduling & Operational Support
Assist in the scheduling of daily test activities and coordinate resources to support ongoing project demands.
Work collaboratively with scientists, engineers, and project leads to ensure smooth lab operations.
Data Handling & Communication
Maintain accurate and detailed logs for all test activities.
Support scientists with data extraction, file management, and basic trend analysis.
Report anomalies or test deviations promptly and clearly to the relevant technical teams.
Equipment Maintenance & Management
Perform routine checks, calibrations, and preventive maintenance on test equipment (e.g., cyclers, thermal chambers).
Monitor and manage consumables, tools, and spare parts inventory.
Liaise with equipment suppliers and vendors to resolve technical issues and stay up to date with equipment best practices.
