Cell Engineer

The Cell Engineer will play a pivotal role in supporting the commercialization of SCC55Ⓡ, Group14’s best-in-class silicon anode material. You will be responsible for designing, developing, and assembling silicon battery pouch cells for high-energy and high-power applications on our laboratory-scale production line. These cells will directly showcase the revolutionary capabilities of SCC55Ⓡ and drive customer adoption. Additionally, this role will spearhead the technology transfer of SCC55Ⓡ into commercial cell designs and prototype engineering solutions for the continuous improvement of our battery cell line. 

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

• Develop and establish cell design details required for high-energy and high-power applications. 
• Design and execute protocols to optimize various processes in cell development, production, and testing—from concept through implementation. 
• Testing the electrochemical performance profile and physical characteristics of silicon batteries.
• Conduct root-cause investigations, prepare detailed status reports on problems or issues, and make actionable recommendations as required.

• B.S. in Chemical Engineering, Electrochemical Engineering, Material Science, or a related field. 
• 3+ years of experience working at a lithium-ion battery manufacturer or within a battery-focused research lab. 
• Proven experience maintaining and operating pouch cell assembly equipment at the laboratory or pilot scale. 
• Expertise using advanced cell testing systems and methods to characterize battery performance. 
• Knowledge of lithium-ion battery safety practices and the physical ability to wear a respirator. 
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
• A self-motivated mindset with the ability to thrive as an independent contributor.

• 1+ years of dedicated experience making multilayer pouch cells. 
• In-depth knowledge of how mixing, coating, and calendaring directly impact cell performance. 
• Strong background in cell design, formulation, and end-to-end cell development. 
• Deep understanding of cell degradation mechanisms and failure mode analysis. 
• Experience operating a pouch cell manufacturing line. 
• Hands-on proficiency with precision metrology tools, including calipers, micrometers, and laser distance sensors. 
• Experience designing and building custom fixtures and test leads. 
• Proficiency in AutoCAD or 3D modeling software.
