Licenses and manufactures silicon-based battery materials
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?
As a Field Application Engineer/Sr Field Application Engineer within Product Management, you will play a vital role in advancing next-generation battery technology for industrial applications. We are seeking a curious, adaptable engineer who thrives in a fast-paced environment and excels at managing diverse customer relationships, working directly with customers on a daily basis to resolve complex technical issues. Bringing hands-on industry expertise across key lithium-ion cell components—including anodes, cathodes, separators, electrolytes, and foils—you will help bring commercial products to market and fulfill customer requirements. You are adept at prioritizing tasks, collaborating across technical teams, and partnering with business leads to design experiments, evaluate data, and build strategic plans. If you are a collaborative, hands-on professional eager to drive the adoption of next-generation lithium-ion batteries in industrial devices, this role is for you.
