About the Role

Working at the intersection of electrochemistry, operando characterisation and product development, the Application Scientist will play a key role in expanding the capabilities of a cutting-edge battery analysis platform. This role combines hands-on laboratory work with product development, supporting the creation of new experimental workflows, specialised test hardware and advanced data analysis approaches that help customers gain deeper insights into battery behaviour and performance.

Responsibilities

The Application Scientist will be responsible for:

  • Designing and optimising experimental workflows across a range of battery chemistries
  • Developing and refining bespoke operando battery cell designs to improve performance, usability, and manufacturability
  • Using CAD software to design components and support rapid prototyping activities
  • Preparing battery electrodes and assembling laboratory-scale test cells
  • Analysing electrochemical, imaging, and multidimensional datasets to support product and application development
  • Presenting technical findings and recommendations to customers, collaborators, and internal teams
  • Supporting scientific collaborations, customer demonstrations, training activities, and industry events

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
