Job Description

Tesla’s Cathode Advanced Manufacturing team is developing and scaling the production of novel cathode materials to enable next-generation battery electric vehicles. This effort includes research & development and scale-up of high-energy, low-cost cathode materials and the implementation of unique processes that shorten the path from mine to cell. As a cathode materials engineer, you will optimize material recipes and synthesis steps at lab scale, assist with technology transfer to pilot scale, and support our first cathode manufacturing plant in Austin. You will evaluate new technologies and develop unique production and characterization methods. In this role you will also work closely with Tesla's teams around cathode manufacturing, material characterization, cell testing, etc. to coordinate cross-functional activities that improve our supply chain, process control, and product quality. Lastly, you will play a role in maintaining and updating our data systems for more efficient data capture and organization, along with development of accessible tools for recall and data visualization to accelerate our materials roadmap.
