Software Internship - AI & Battery Informatics

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?

Are you a code‑savvy engineer who thrives on high‑performance data and agentic systems? We are looking for an AI‑forward, battery science‑centric software intern to bridge the gap between electrochemical R&D and production‑grade data science. You will complement our Battery Engineering & R&D engineering teams by focusing on the "heavy lifting" of data systems, computer vision, and AI‑forward applications. You are someone who views data as a high‑performance asset and wants to build the autonomous workflows that will determine how we discover the next generation of energy storage.

Project examples could include designing an AI Agent to browse experimental databases, analyze ECT data, and summarize performance trends. Developing a production CV pipeline that automates fiber/particle quantification in seconds, replacing manual measurement. Or creating the "plumbing" for physics‑based models to ingest millions of rows of cycling data via high‑performance manipulation.

• Build and deploy autonomous AI agents to automate experimental management, enabling researchers to query, summarize, and reason over complex datasets.
• Develop automated pipelines for e.g. SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and other characterization techniques to automate feature extraction (e.g., particle morphology, particle sizing, feature extraction, and defect detection).
• Data orchestration and optimization support for modeling teams with build and validate physics‑based
