Ingenn is the Head Hunting company solely focused on the search and selection of technical profiles and engineers.
The partner:
We are looking for a R&D Manager to be hired on a permanent contract with one of our clients, an innovative Start-Up in the chemical-engineering sector. Our client specializes in renewable energy and, in particular, in the research, development and prototyping of new green batteries and long-duration energy storage systems.
The role:

Define and execute the R&D roadmap across single cell, stack, pilot, and container scale.
Standardize test protocols: performance mapping, cycling/aging, efficiency breakdown, and safety-related tests.
Apply Design of Experiments (DoE) to optimize stack/system parameters (flow, pressure, compression, temperature, operating windows).
Lead scaling-up activities, coordinating build/test iterations and design reviews with engineering teams.
Own data quality, reproducibility, analysis workflows, and reporting cadence.
Define acceptance criteria for prototypes and pilot builds; support FAT/SAT preparation.
Manage lab/test infrastructure needs (instrumentation, test stands, automation requirements) with the controls team.
Mentor team members and enforce safe, structured experimentation.
Draft procedures, reports and technical documentation in general.

Mandatory skills:

Experience in battery engineering / electrochemical system testing (PhD years can be counted as experience if relevant).
Proven R&D management or technical leadership in experimental teams.
Strong skills in battery testing, scale-up, DoE, and electrochemistry interpretation.
Experience defining structured test plans and translating results into engineering actions.
