Jobs at Sila Nanotechnologies

Sustain and improve R&D battery assembly and testing processes: implement quality control (SPC, inspections, RCAs), lead continuous improvement using Lean/Six Sigma, mentor technicians, maintain process documentation, integrate new equipment, and generate data-driven performance reports.

Lead a team of engineers in designing and building innovative battery materials and testing equipment, ensuring project success and team development.

Design, execute, and analyze pouch full-cell experiments across slurry, coating, electrolyte, and cell integration. Perform failure analysis, apply data/statistical methods and modeling, develop new test techniques, communicate results to stakeholders, and support customer-facing data packages while collaborating cross-functionally to commercialize next-generation lithium-ion batteries.

Lead electrode and cell scale-up from prototype to commercialization, design and execute multilayer pouch full-cell experiments, drive failure analysis and safety validation, transfer processes to contract manufacturers, apply data analysis and modeling to guide design iterations, and coordinate cross-functional and customer-facing technical work to meet program objectives.

Lead R&D and scale-up of electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Investigate roles of active materials, binders, and additives; design and qualify electrodes; apply data analysis and modeling; develop test methods; communicate results across teams and with partners; ensure lab safety and support prototype-to-production scale-up.

Lead FEED and construction for large-scale capital projects using modular construction. Oversee budgets, schedules, contractors, safety, grant compliance, and project teams to deliver projects on time, on budget, and to quality standards.

Manage quality systems across battery production, ensure compliance with safety standards, and lead root cause investigations while collaborating with engineering teams.

Develop bespoke software solutions to enhance battery data management and user interaction. Collaborate with various teams to optimize workflows and ensure data integrity through advanced architecture and visualization.

Lead and coach teams on process safety for pilot and commercial battery material production. Conduct PHAs (HAZOP, HAZID, LOPA, QRA), review engineering designs, develop standards, perform risk assessments, manage incident investigations and MOC reviews, and implement mitigation plans to ensure regulatory and internal compliance.

Lead mechanical design and development of manufacturing-scale reactor equipment, perform FEA/thermal/fluid analysis, create detailed engineering packages, drive safety-by-design and PSM activities, manage vendor/fabricator coordination and FAT/installation, and mentor junior engineers to ensure manufacturability, reliability, and compliance.

Design and develop manufacturing-scale reactors translating R&D concepts to capital projects. Perform FEA, thermal and fluid modeling; create equipment layouts, drawings, datasheets, and specs. Manage vendor/fabricator coordination, FAT, installation verification, and maintain compliant engineering documentation while prioritizing safety, manufacturability, reliability, and maintainability.

Design, implement, and document process control and instrumentation systems for production-scale materials equipment. Develop control strategies, P&IDs, cause-and-effect matrices, SIL/IPL verification, alarms, and HMIs. Participate in HAZOPs and safety reviews, source instrumentation and vendors, assist with hardware and code commissioning, and gather end-user feedback to refine controls and share best practices.

Manage and improve accounts payable by configuring, testing, and troubleshooting AI agents (e.g., Coupa Navi) to automate invoice processing, payment runs, and reconciliations. Perform day-to-day accounting: prepare journal entries, reconciliations, bank and investment records, vendor maintenance, and support month-end close, audits, and 1099 filings. Partner cross-functionally to expand P2P automation and provide internal/external accounting support.

Lead the battery engineering team to deploy advanced technologies in various markets. Engage with suppliers and coach engineers in their professional growth while managing daily operations and team performance.

Develop and deploy manufacturing intelligence systems and machine learning models to enhance operational efficiency in production environments, collaborating across teams to achieve impactful solutions.

As a Senior HR Business Partner, you will align HR strategies with business goals, drive organizational effectiveness, and foster positive employee relations.

As a Senior Staff Quality Engineer, you will lead root cause analyses, oversee quality control frameworks, drive continuous improvement, and manage compliance with quality standards while mentoring junior staff.

The Quality & Turnover Project Manager ensures compliance with quality standards in capital projects by developing QA plans, conducting audits, and managing contractors, while facilitating stakeholder communication and continuous improvement.

As a Battery Product Engineer, you will design and test battery prototypes, analyze electrochemical data, and bridge technical and commercial gaps while owning the product roadmap.
