Electrode Production Lead

Coreshell Technologies•San Leandro, CA

2d•$120,000 - $150,000•Onsite

About The Position

Coreshell's metallurgical Silicon anode technology delivers high capacity, fast-charging, and superior safety. Our low-cost liquid-phase nano-coating addresses critical electrode-surface degradation issues and enables batteries with a Silicon-dominant anode that have higher energy density, superior intrinsic thermal safety, and significantly lower cost/kWh compared to current LIBs. Our Si anode material is lower than the cost of graphite and 100% domestically sourced. We strive to transform the global automotive market by enabling low-cost and long-range EVs as a first step towards net-zero sustainability in the near future. Position: We are looking for an experienced Electrode Production Engineer to lead a team responsible for all aspects of electrode fabrication. Ideal candidate is self-driven, detail-oriented, proactive in problem solving and able to wear many hats. This role focuses on improving efficiency, quality, and scalability of electrode production while ensuring compliance with safety and environmental standards.
