Our Mission
At Group1, we are proud to steward the final battery innovation of 2019 Chemistry Nobel Laureate and UT
Professor John B. Goodenough, and bring to the world the first potassium-ion battery platform that is
critical-mineral-free, high performance, and fundamentally safer than today’s lithium-ion systems. This
technology enables a complete domestic supply chain—ultimately helping secure American energy
sovereignty. This is a big vision, a big mission, and it requires people with similar appetites.
The Role
We are seeking up to two Lab Technician Interns to support a broad range of laboratory, development, and
scale-up activities. This is intentionally a generalist role: interns will be exposed to multiple aspects of battery
and materials development and will be molded over time based on aptitude, curiosity, and company needs. This
internship is viewed as a pipeline to full-time employment for exceptional performers.
What You’ll Work On
• Materials synthesis, preparation, and characterization support
• Electrode processing and coating workflows
• Cell assembly and basic electrochemical testing
• Electrolyte formulation, mixing, and handling (training provided)
• Glovebox operation and air-sensitive materials handling (training provided)
• Supporting scale-up, process refinement, and lab operations
• Experiment logging, data organization, and documentation
• Exposure to data analytics and AI-enabled workflows (a plus)
Who We’re Looking For
• Undergraduate students preferred; Master’s students considered
• Pursuing Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, or Engineering
• Curious, high-agency, self-motivated builders; careful hands
• Comfortable with hands-on experimental work and precision tasks
• Familiarity with AI tools / data workflows is a plus (not required)
Logistics & Requirements
• On-site role; must be able to commute 30–40 minutes south of Austin
• Paid internship; flexible hours (10–20 hrs/week during school; up to 40 hrs/week in summer)
• Legally authorized to work in the U.S. (no visa sponsorship now or in the future)
• Internship duration ideally 10–12+ weeks
Why This Internship
This is a hands-on opportunity inside a deep-tech startup where the learning curve feels less like a traditional
company and more like drinking from a fire hose. Interns will touch real hardware, learn at an accelerated pace,
and earn ownership quickly by demonstrating agency and execution.
