<div> Coreshell's metallurgical Silicon anode technology delivers high capacity, fast-charging, and superior safety. Our low-cost Silicon-dominant batteries have higher energy density, superior intrinsic thermal safety, and significantly lower cost/kWh compared to current LIBs. Coreshell's Si anode material is lower than the cost of graphite and utilizes the largest abundant critical mineral supply in the US and Europe. We strive to transform the global energy and transportation market by enabling cost effective and secure domestic battery supply. Position:  The Battery Materials Technician is responsible for the screening, characterization, and quality control of raw materials that feed Coreshell’s electrode and cell development programs. You will operate a suite of analytical instruments to generate materials data that directly informs purchasing decisions, supplier qualification, and formulation development.
