Elevated Materials is at the forefront of lithium battery technology, revolutionizing energy storage by enabling dramatically better battery performance. Elevated Materials’ ultra-thin lithium films increase energy density by 30-70%, extend battery life up to 3x, and enable significantly faster charging times. This technology is used for all lithium-ion battery applications, including electric vehicles, aviation, consumer electronics, and grid storage. Currently in the commercialization stage with R&D and manufacturing in the Bay Area and Germany, Elevated Materials is poised to make a significant impact in the global battery industry.
As an independent entity spun out of Applied Materials and co-owned with TPG, Elevated Materials’ mission is to accelerate the clean energy revolution, driving universal adoption and a more sustainable future.
The Role
We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer with 5–10 years of experience designing, integrating, and supporting evaporation, sputtering, and treatment modules within vacuum chamber systems, with a strong emphasis on plasma-based processes.
In this highly hands-on role, you will partner closely with process engineers to develop and scale advanced thin-film materials for next-generation battery manufacturing. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in RF/DC power delivery, vacuum systems, sputtering cathodes, thermal systems, and roll-to-roll system integration in production environments.
