Electroflow’s mission of sustainable, domestic lithium is the confluence of technological development, chemical production, and brine screening. As a BRINE SPECIALIST, you’ll work with our founding brine team to interrogate diverse brine chemistries. In this role, you’ll leverage a plethora of analytical techniques to dissect the compositions of brine samples sourced from a variety of resources across North America. Throughout the internship period, you’ll lead initiatives to organize our brine library and explore how brine compositions impact our core technologies. As a CELL SPECIALIST, you’ll be optimizing our core electrochemical tech for sustainable lithium extraction. Responsibilities will require knowledge of electrochemistry and electrode design. Both roles will be central to our mission of producing cathode-ready lithium from naturally abundant resources.
