Internship or Master Thesis in Mechanical/Process Engineering

Are you ready to make a change in the energy transition and have a positive impact on the climate? Join the Unbound Potential (UP) team, a Swiss startup founded in 2023 by a group of passionate engineers, chemists, and economists from ETH Zürich.

We envision a resilient electrified society, independent not only from fossil fuels, but also from critical mined materials, such as Lithium-ion or Vanadium. How can we reach this goal? By developing a disruptive innovative solution: a membrane-less redox flow battery that works exclusively with organic chemistry. Despite the name, our system is the simplest large-scale stationary energy storage you can imagine, usable by energy-intensive industries as well as energy utilities seeking cheap and sustainable energy storage solutions.

As a key member of our Science and Engineering team, you will design, fabricate, and test mechanical components to optimize flow distribution and drive innovation in our next-generation redox flow batteries. You will collaborate closely with our team members, comparing experimental results with simulation data to analyze the impact of flow dynamics on battery performance. Beyond contributing to battery development, you will also participate in identifying strategies for scaling up the manufacturing processes.

What you will do:

  1. Design, build, and operate experimental setups to handle two-phase flows.
  2. Characterize and analyze the impact of flow fields on battery performance.
  3. Inform and guide the design of next-generation membrane-less redox flow batteries.

What you will bring:
  1. Background in mechanical, process, chemical, material engineering or a related field.
  2. Experience in CAD design (e.g. Fusion 360, SolidWorks).
  3. Hands-on experience in building and operating experimental setups in the field of fluidics.
  4. Solution-oriented mindset with out-of-the-box thinking.
  5. Experience with rapid prototyping (e.g., 3D printing, milling) (desirable but not mandatory).
  6. Experience with redox flow batteries (desirable but not mandatory).

You are:
  1. Motivated to work in a dynamic, high-performance, collaborative, young and fun start-up environment.
  2. Strongly interested in the climate-tech space.
  3. Independent and detail-oriented.
  4. Passionate about driving the renewable energy transition.
  5. Excellent team player.
  6. Fluent in English.

The focus of UP is to create innovative solutions for long-term energy storage based on a novel membrane-less flow redox battery technology. Let’s shape together the future of energy storage
