Who We Are We change the landscape of what is possible with batteries. Our technologies increase the energy density of batteries, and enable longer range, higher performance, and greater affordability for electric vehicles (EVs) as well as lower cost and safer energy storage systems (ESSs). Our first anode product is in the market today, it drops into existing Li-ion battery manufacturing processes, and is manufacturable economically at scale. We believe how we work together is as important as the great things we accomplish. Foundational to this belief is building an inclusive and distinctive culture – one that is collectively shaped and owned by all Silazens. Who You Are You are a research scientist who can contribute to the development of our next generation ionic liquid and solid-state electrolyte (SSE) technologies. You’ll work with a small team to uncover the structure-property relationship of new ion conductors to their performance in cells. Your contribution...
