We pioneered the Organic SolidFlow battery
CMBlu Energy is on an exciting journey towards becoming a global cleantech company. Our mission is to enable unlimited energy storage modelled on nature - for everyone, worldwide.
What are SolidFlow batteries?
SolidFlow batteries store energy in organic molecules. The absence of explosive materials makes them safe, the use of socially and ecologically conflict-free raw materials makes them sustainable and the almost unlimited availability of materials makes them scalable and cheap to procure. This makes our patented SolidFlow technology a game changer in the development of a global climate-neutral energy system.
From start-up to scale-up: we're tackling it together
CMBlu Energy is developing from a start-up focussing on research into a manufacturing scale-up that is on its way to series production. Around 240 employees are working towards this goal at CMBlu Energy. Our head office is in Alzenau near Frankfurt, with a branch office in Obernburg. There are also subsidiaries in Athens, Greece and Petaluma, USA.
Your Responsibilities
- Plan, execute and evaluate compounding trials – from experimental design to statistical analysis and clear, well-documented conclusions.
- Develop and optimize recipe formulations: select conductive additives and binders to drive electrochemical performance and mechanical stability of the product.
- Characterize our products mechanically, physically and electrochemically, and link the measured properties back to formulation and process parameters.
- Build up process understanding quickly for new and existing processes: identify which process parameters influence the target properties of the product, and how.
- Drive scale-up from lab to product: transfer processes and material properties across different machine sizes and support the transition towards series production.
- Apply statistical methods – Design of Experiments (DoE), Bayesian optimization and data-driven evaluation – to develop and optimize formulations and processes efficiently.
- Work closely with our R&D departments, product development, production and external partners from industry and academia and contribute to an agile way of working.
Your Profile
- Masters Degree in physics, materials science, materials engineering, process engineering, chemical engineering or a comparable field.
- Professional background in battery or energy storage industry (material, product or process development) preferable
- Analytical mindset and a real enjoyment of data evaluation: Experience with statistical data analysis, Design of Experiments (DoE) and ideally Bayesian optimization.
- Experience with electrochemical testing and evaluation – or the openness and curiosity to learn these skills with us.
- Scale-up thinking: experience or strong interest in transferring processes and material properties from lab scale to larger machine sizes.
- Experience with agile ways of working and project management – or the willingness to learn them.
- Willingness to go on business trips (up to 20%).
- Fluent English; German is a strong advantage.
Your benefits at CMBLU Energy AG
- More net pay for you: Enjoy an extra €50 tax-free every month with your Spendit Card (pro-rata for part-time employees). Use it flexibly at numerous Visa acceptance points in your region – wherever it suits you. Your Spendit Card also gives you access to Wellhub, connecting you with gyms, fitness classes and wellness offers across Germany.
- Sustainable mobility: We cover the full cost of your Deutschland-Ticket, a nationwide public transport pass valid on all local and regional trains, buses, trams, and subways across Germany. Additionally, you can lease the bike of your choice at attractive rates through JobRad. Whether you prefer train or bike, we make it easier for you to travel comfortably and sustainably.
- Share in our success: Our Virtual Stock Option Program (VSOP) gives you the opportunity to share in CMBLU’s success and growth. Simply put, you receive virtual shares without having to make a personal investment and without voting rights. As CMBLU grows in value, you can benefit financially from that growth.
- Fresh and delicious food for your workday: At our Alzenau site, you can enjoy fresh, subsidized meals every day from our freshtaste meal vending machine.
- Learn languages your way: With Busuu, you can improve your language skills at your own pace and with maximum flexibility. We provide you with free access to the language-learning platform.
- Purpose that drives you: Help shape the energy transition with us and contribute to the further development of our SolidFlow battery. Since 2026, CMBLU has been a unicorn, meaning our company is valued at more than one billion euros. Through your work, you actively help shape this growth.
- A culture that connects: At CMBLU, the values of reliability, innovation, and relentlessness shape our collaboration. This is also lived out beyond everyday work: at a shared BBQ, an end-of-year celebration, or team sports activities. We celebrate our successes together, because they are the result of teamwork.
We look forward to reimagining the future of energy together with you.
