R&D Technician - Coreshell Technologies
San Leandro, CA 94577
About the Job
Position: R&D Technician
Reports To: Senior R&D Manager
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: We are looking for an R&D Technician to execute on research and development activities including synthesizing materials with material characterization and data record on a regular basis, building lithium-ion battery coin cells, conducting chemical and consumable inventory management, among other responsibilities. The ideal candidate has a strong background in chemistry with significant laboratory experience and can act on his/her own initiative to troubleshoot problems. Familiarity with material analysis is also desired. Responsibilities include:
