Coreshell unlocks energy without limits. Backed by Alchemist.
About the role
Position: This Battery Scientist role sits at the intersection of experimental electrolyte science and computational chemistry. You will lead the development and optimization of electrolyte formulations for Coreshell’s silicon-dominant anode cells, combining rigorous electrochemical characterization and accelerated aging studies with computational tools that help rationalize and prioritize additive and solvent candidates.
What they're looking for
- Demonstrated excellence in electrolyte R&D for lithium-ion batteries, with deep knowledge of SEI/CEI formation mechanisms, electrode-electrolyte interfacial chemistry, and degradation pathways
- Strong background in electrochemistry and mechanistic organic chemistry, particularly as it relates to reductive decomposition, radical intermediates, and polymerization reactions at electrode surfaces
- Hands-on experience with electrolyte formulation: solvent blending, lithium salt optimization, additive selection, and functional evaluation in multiple cell form factors
- Experience with silicon-dominant anode systems strongly preferred, familiarity with the unique interfacial and volumetric challenges of Si anodes and electrolyte strategies to address them
- Knowledge of chemical laboratory and manufacturing environment safety practices
- Ability to excel in highly dynamic, early-stage environments, navigating ambiguity, making progress despite incomplete data, and balancing priorities to meet both immediate and longer-term goals
More about this role
Coreshell's metallurgical Silicon anode technology delivers high capacity, fast-charging, and superior safety. Our low-cost Silicon-dominant batteries have higher energy density, superior intrinsic thermal safety, and significantly lower cost/kWh compared to current LIBs. Coreshell's Si anode material is lower than the cost of graphite and utilizes the largest abundant critical mineral supply in the US and Europe. We strive to transform the global energy and transportation market by enabling cost effective and secure domestic battery supply.
