About the role

You are excited to build the intelligence layer for manufacturing operations: systems that help the factory understand what is happening, predict what is likely to happen next, and respond earlier and better as a result. You are a strong technical builder who likes hard problems with real operational consequences. You can take an ambiguous manufacturing problem and turn it into a working system that engineers and operations teams actually use.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Engineering, Computer Science, Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field
  • Strong programming skills in Python and experience building production-quality software, internal applications, or data products beyond notebooks and dashboards
  • Strong experience with scientific computing and machine learning libraries such as pandas, NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn, statsmodels, PyTorch, TensorFlow, XGBoost, or equivalent tools
  • Experience building and deploying software services, APIs, data pipelines, or internal platforms using tools such as FastAPI, Flask, SQL, Spark, Airflow, dbt, or similar technologies
  • Experience working with time-series, sensor, event, equipment, MES, historian, quality, or other industrial data
  • Experience training, validating, and deploying custom models for prediction, classification, anomaly detection, forecasting, optimization, or control-related use cases
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?
