Battery R&D Capabilities Internship

About Us

We are Sila, a next-generation battery materials company. Our mission is to power the world’s transition to clean energy. To create this future, our team is building a better lithium-ion battery from the inside out today. We engineer and manufacture ground-breaking battery materials that significantly increase the energy density of batteries, while reducing their size and weight. The result? Smaller more powerful batteries that can unlock innovation in consumer devices and accelerate the mass adoption of electric cars to eliminate our dependence on fossil fuels. We're tackling one of the biggest challenges of our time every day, and together we're redefining what's possible. Are you ready to be a part of a team committed to changing the world?

Who You Are

You’re a science or engineering student excited to work on innovative and scalable systems that drive R&D forward. You keep a curious and open mind, know when to be practical, and love seeing others benefit from your work.

As a Battery R&D Capabilities Intern, you’ll help deliver safe, powerful, and accessible systems that accelerate battery R&D. You’ll work closely with battery scientists, engineers, and technicians across multiple teams to build best-in-the-world prototyping and testing systems while learning about how lithium-ion batteries are designed, built, and analyzed. Your projects will include a combination of software, hardware, and process development at the battery electrode and cell levels.
