Coreshell
Position: Battery Technician
Reports To:
Director of Battery Technology 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 50% 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. Core Responsibilities : Perform Coreshells in-house battery fabrication and testing Maintain and calibrate test hardware Work with multiple battery formulations and coating materials; collaborate closely with Coreshells technical team to ensure Coreshells coatings are properly deposited on each battery material With the assistance of the R&D team, characterize cells and battery materials, using both electrochemical methods & materials analytical techniques Perform cell failure analysis through post-test cell disassembly followed by physical, compositional, and electrochemical characterization, as instructed by engineers and scientists Work with Coreshells cell testing and qualification program, including detailed experimental recordkeeping, data collection, and data management Manage inventory of chemicals and lab consumables Follow and maintain standard operating procedures (SOPs) Comfortable performing manual tasks requiring precision and dexterity Requirements: Background in R&D lab work is required. Experience working in controlled-atmosphere gloveboxes is preferred Background in fabrication of lithium-ion batteries is a plus Highly self-driven, detail-oriented candidate with a history of problem solving and an ability to wear many hats Familiarity with chemistry lab safety protocols. Demonstrated commitment to maintaining safe, tidy, and organized work areas Previous experience performing electrical tests, as well as chemistry and materials analytical instruments, is preferred 2+ years of experience in the battery industry OR a B.S. degree or equivalent in Chemistry, Materials Science, Engineering, or similarly relevant field Location & Benefits:
San Leandro, CA. Full-time. Hourly rate is $26.00 - $40.00 per hour with additional stock incentives dependent on experience. Dental, vision, healthcare and 401(k) benefits are included. Seniority level:
