The modern silicon anode was invented and scaled by Sila. Titan Silicon delivers 20% more energy density for batteries powering millions of devices…. Backed by Bessemer.
About the role
As an engineer on the RD&E modeling team, you will bridge physical chemistry, advanced characterization, and computational modeling to accelerate the development of high-performance lithium-ion battery materials and cells. You are a cross-functional problem solver who thrives at the intersection of wet-lab characterization and high-performance computing, leveraging advanced models to turn raw empirical and theoretical data into actionable material & cell design rules. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Ph.D. in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a related physical science discipline
- Deep experience integrating quantum chemistry methods (DFT, electronic structure calculations) with experimental materials characterization
- Deep experience in physics based model development and application for lithium ion batteries
- High proficiency in Linux environments, CLI tools, bash scripting, Python, and numerical solvers for physical chemistry workflows
- Hands-on background in electrochemistry for lithium ion batteries or related field
- Solid grasp of standard (BET, TGA, Raman, SEM) and advanced spectroscopic/synchrotron techniques (XAS, XPS, EPR) applied to silicon or carbon-based active materials
More about this role
We are Sila, a next-generation battery materials company. Our mission is to power the world’s transition to clean energy. To create this future, our team is building a better lithium-ion battery from the inside out today. We engineer and manufacture ground-breaking battery materials that significantly increase the energy density of batteries, while reducing their size and weight. The result? Smaller more powerful batteries that can unlock innovation in consumer devices and accelerate the mass adoption of electric cars to eliminate our dependence on fossil fuels. We're tackling one of the biggest challenges of our time every day, and together we're redefining what's possible. Are you ready to be a part of a team committed to changing the world?
