Samsung to hire battery-experts from US, Europe

Samsung does not want to risk experimenting with smartphone batteries anymore — all thanks to the Note 7 fiasco. A new set of reports suggest that the South-Korean tech giant is apparently hiring battery experts from US and Europe to help reduce risks of batteries.

According to the Korean website, The Investor, Samsung is seeking for battery engineers from US and Europe and several candidates have even been interviewed regarding the same matter. “The company is particularly interested in engineers with a master’s or doctorate degree in battery science, as well as people with expertise in battery materials and cell development,” a Softpedia report read.

It appears like Samsung wants to be on the safe side as far as its smartphones’ batteries are concerned. The firm already has a dedicated team that looks over smartphone’s battery-design, inspection and production. However, the firm now wants to appoint other experts to conduct a series of tests, including X-ray inspections and random sampling after receiving batteries from its suppliers.
