This role is well suited for a PhD student or graduate researcher with strong experience in electrochemistry, battery materials, cell testing, and failure analysis.\nThe ideal candidate will bring deep technical expertise in battery materials and electrochemistry, a hands-on approach to experimentation, and enthusiasm for addressing complex challenges in silicon anode commercialization.\nThe intern should be comfortable working across fundamental science, experimental execution, and product-focused battery development. The intern will collaborate closely with scientists, engineers, and technical leadership to support the development of high-performance lithium-ion cells.\nKey Responsibilities\nThe intern will contribute to one or more of the following areas:\nDesign and evaluate silicon-based anode materials, composites, binders, conductive additives, and electrode formulations.\n\nFabricate electrodes and coin, pouch, or other test cells for electrochemical evaluation.\n\nPerform battery testing, including formation, cycling, rate capability, fast-charge testing, impedance measurements, and diagnostics.\n\nAnalyze capacity retention, coulombic efficiency, impedance growth, swelling, and other key performance metrics.\n\nInvestigate silicon anode degradation mechanisms, including volume expansion, SEI evolution, particle fracture, lithium inventory loss, and electrode-level failure modes.\n\nUse materials characterization techniques such as SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, Raman, FTIR, BET, TGA, or related methods, as applicable.\n\nDevelop clear, data-driven recommendations to guide silicon anode material and cell design.\n\nDocument experimental procedures, results, and conclusions in technical reports and presentations.\n\nWork cross-functionally with materials, cell engineering, process development, and product teams.\n\nRequired Qualifications\nCurrently enrolled in a PhD program at a leading university, national laboratory, or research institute with a strong focus on batteries, electrochemistry, materials science, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field.\n\nResearch experience in lithium-ion batteries, preferably silicon-carbon or other advanced anode systems.\n\nStrong understanding of lithium-ion battery fundamentals, including electrode design, interfacial chemistry, SEI formation, transport limitations, and cell degradation.\n\nHands-on experience with battery cell assembly and electrochemical testing.\n\nAbility to analyze complex experimental data and translate results into actionable technical insights.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nDirect experience with silicon anode materials, silicon-carbon composites, pre\n\nlithiation, binder systems, electrolyte additives, or high-loading electrode design.\n\nFamiliarity with advanced diagnostic methods such as EIS, GITT, dQ/dV analysis, post-mortem analysis, gas analysis, or mechanical swelling measurements.\n\nExperience using Python, MATLAB, JMP, Origin, or similar tools for data analysis.\n\nPublications, patents, or conference presentations related to lithium-ion batteries or advanced anode materials.\n\nExperience working in industry, a national laboratory, or a collaborative applied research environment.\n\nWhat You Will Gain\nHands-on experience developing next-generation silicon anode lithium-ion battery technology.\n\nExposure to startup-style R&D, rapid experimentation, and practical cell development.\n\nOpportunity to work closely with experienced battery scientists and engineers.\n\nExperience translating academic research into commercially relevant battery technology.\n\nThis is a paid internship that will be onsite at our Fremont, CA office, with an expected duration of 3-6 months. The hourly pay range is $40-$45, depending on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3943,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Energy & Utilities","Energy Storage","Smartphones"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-05-15T00:00:00Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 2 · green card filings: 1","filings_12m":2,"filings_prev_12m":3,"green_card_filings_12m":1,"median_offered_wage_usd":135833,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":4,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.14,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":154,"expected_fill_days":34,"reasons":["conf:30","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":90000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/enovix-rd-intern","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/enovix-rd-intern.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T21:15:52Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2089,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":58550},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=58550"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fenovix-rd-intern"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fenovix-rd-intern"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fenovix-rd-intern"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/enovix-rd-intern\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fenovix-rd-intern"}]}
