**Designation offered: Programme Associate **Team/ Focus area: Technology Futures

**Location: New Delhi, India

**Reporting to: Senior Programme Lead

**Purpose

CEEWs Technology Futures team works towards mainstreaming appropriate global and indigenous technologies that can deliver energy security and sustainable economic growth at scale. The teams work spans clean energy technology manufacturing, critical minerals, and the evolving geopolitics and governance of clean energy technology collaboration, and has previously informed Indias G20 presidency-led work on global renewable energy supply chains.

CEEW seeks to hire a suitable candidate to lead the Technology Futures teams technical research on battery or energy storage manufacturing, covering the end-to-end value chain from critical mineral and precursor material processing to battery cell manufacturing, and module/pack assembly and integration. The candidate in this role will lead technological assessments of manufacturing processes, equipment and materials used across the value chain, while also tracking the policies, regulations, industrial strategies, technology partnerships,



and geopolitics that shape battery manufacturing competitiveness across major global markets, including the US, EU, China, Southeast Asia, and India.

The candidate will also evaluate emerging and next-generation battery chemistries and formats (such as sodium-ion, redox flow, and solid-state) and their manufacturing readiness, and guide the technical rigour of the teams research outputs. The role also involves tracking technology partnerships, licensing arrangements, and analysing how manufacturing incentives, trade measures, and geopolitical developments such as export controls on critical minerals and trade disputes shape the global battery manufacturing landscape.

The candidate must have a strong technical/engineering background in battery or energy storage manufacturing, along with the ability to engage with the policy, trade, and geopolitical dimensions of the sector. In addition to the duties and responsibilities outlined below, the candidate should be prepared, as and when necessary, to take on additional responsibilities and respond to ongoing events and developments in the sector.

CEEW offers an intellectually challenging and conducive work environment, with a focus on research rigour, creative thinking, and strategic outreach. We are looking for an enthusiastic and detail-oriented individual who would be excited to take research to action. We recommend that applicants visit the Technology Futures page for more details about our projects.





**Job duties and accountabilities

**Research and programme assistance

Lead technical assessments of manufacturing processes, equipment and materials across the entire battery value chain from critical mineral and precursor processing to cell manufacturing, and module/pack assembly and integration.

Track industry technology roadmaps, such as those published by the International Energy Agency (IEA), and Battery 2030+, to anticipate shifts in dominant cell chemistries and manufacturing processes. Based on this, evaluate emerging and next-generation battery technologies, and assess their manufacturing readiness levels (MRLs), including timelines to commercial-scale manufacturing.

Assess the timelines, capital costs, and production downtime associated with transitioning an existing manufacturing line from one cell chemistry to another (for instance, NMC to LFP), including equipment compatibility and retrofit versus greenfield trade-offs.

Map domestic and global supply chains for battery manufacturing inputs and equipment, including dependencies on critical minerals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and graphite, and assess technology licensing and intellectual property considerations that shape manufacturers adoption of recent technologies.

Track and analyse policy, regulatory, and geopolitical developments including manufacturing incentive schemes, customs duties and trade measures, export controls, and technology partnerships between countries across major battery manufacturing geographies, and assess their impact on manufacturing competitiveness.
