Staff Battery Engineer, Battery Performance

As a Battery Product Engineer, you sit at the intersection of deep tech and market strategy.

You are a "full-stack" technical contributor who translates complex customer pain points into high-performance cell prototypes.

You build batteries, synthesize and analyze data, and hunt for the definitive proof that Sila’s anode material provides an advantage in new and emerging markets (e.g., ESS, data/AI centers robotaxi).

You thrive when you are hands-on—designing rigorous experiments and building the batteries that prove our technology’s viability.

You are as comfortable in the lab troubleshooting cell performance as you are drafting a multi-year product roadmap to navigate the "ambiguous middle" where science meets the commercial world.

Driven by intellectual honesty, you follow the data wherever it leads and possess the product mindset necessary to help us deploy next-generation chemistry into the hands of global consumers.

Execute the Bench-to-Market Loop

: Design, build, and test high-performance cell prototypes (stacked, pouch, cylindrical) to validate Sila’s material against specific customer requirements and emerging market use cases.

Translate Data into Insights

: Analyze complex electrochemical datasets—including cycle life, swelling, and rate capability—to identify the "there-there" and determine if a technical path meets the commercial threshold.

Bridge Technical & Commercial Gaps

: Act as the primary technical interface for external customers, synthesizing their challenges into actionable R&D experiments and sharing results that clarify the product’s value proposition.
