Engineer, Process Integration

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 As a Process Integration Engineer, you work at the critical intersection of R&D and High-Volume Manufacturing (HVM). You will be responsible for developing and optimizing manufacturing process workflows across multiple products and unit operations to maximize yield, reliability, and performance. This is a high-impact role, designed for a builder who is highly collaborative, fluent in process engineering fundamentals, and is passionate about bringing new materials-based technologies to the market. Responsibilities and Duties Plan and execute experiments to validate new materials and characterize new processes and equipment. Analyze process data and defect trends to identify root causes of yield loss and implement corrective actions. Design and implement efficient manufacturing flows for new products, ensuring compatibility between different unit operations, and maintaining high safety standards throughout production pathways. Coordinate with design, equipment, and materials engineers to resolve integration challenges and align on performance targets. Maintain detailed process specifications, flowcharts, and FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) documentation Knowledge and Skill Requirements 2+ years of hands‑on process development and/or engineering experience. Experience in materials‑centric industries (e.g., semiconductors, battery tech, specialty chemicals, or advanced composites) is highly preferred. Proficient in statistical software and the application of Statistical Process Control (SPC). Strong ability to report technical data to both technical teams and management stakeholders. B.S. or M.S. in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics or a related field. PhD preferred.
