Coreshell's metallurgical Silicon anode technology delivers high capacity, fast-charging, and superior safety. Our low-cost liquid-phase nano-coating addresses critical electrode-surface degradation issues and enables batteries with a Silicon-dominant anode that have higher energy density, superior intrinsic thermal safety, and significantly lower cost/kWh compared to current LIBs. Our Si anode material is lower than the cost of graphite and 100% domestically sourced. We strive to transform the global automotive market by enabling low-cost and long-range EVs as a first step towards net-zero sustainability in the near future.
Position: Coreshell is building a 2 GWh electrode and battery cell manufacturing facility, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) award. The Project Manager, Facilities and Infrastructure is Coreshell’s day-to-day project lead for the building, utility and infrastructure scope of that facility. You will coordinate the engineering and design-build firms, equipment suppliers, landlord, utilities and permitting authorities, and you will carry the utility engineering work that ties the manufacturing equipment to the building: the utility matrix and load basis, the tie-in definitions, and the review of contractor and vendor deliverables against them.
You will report to the Senior Director of Engineering, work within a small engineering team, and work closely with the manufacturing and equipment teams under the Chief Manufacturing Officer. This is a hands-on role with no staff under it at the start; it grows with the program as the project moves into construction. Coreshell is moving quickly, and the partners on this project are large national engineering and design-build firms, equipment suppliers in Korea and the United States, municipal utilities and a federal program office. The person who does well here is comfortable working in small and big organizations.
Core Responsibilities:
Contractor and Partner Coordination
Act as Coreshell’s day-to-day contact for the engineering, design-build and construction firms on the project: weekly cadence, action logs, RFIs and deliverable reviews. Keep the scope split between Coreshell, the design firm, the builder, the landlord and the equipment suppliers written down and current.
Maintain the owner’s information package (design basis, utility matrix, layouts, equipment data) so that every bidder and partner works from the same revision, and run document control for the project.
Support contractor selection: assemble scopes of work, normalize proposals so they compare like for like, and prepare recommendations for management with the Senior Director of Engineering.
Utility Engineering and Equipment Integration
Own the plant utility matrix and load basis: electrical power, compressed air, nitrogen, chilled and process cooling water, HVAC and dehumidification, process exhaust and solvent recovery, DI water and natural gas. Reconcile vendor utility data to the design basis and keep the matrix current as equipment selections firm up.
Define utility tie-in points and interface requirements between the process equipment (electrode mixing and coating, calendering and slitting, dry rooms, cell assembly, formation and aging) and the building systems. Review vendor utility requirements and installation drawings and raise conflicts before they reach the field.
Support dry room scope definition and procurement with the dry room supplier and the design-build partner: dew point zones, air changes, make-up air, dehumidifier capacity and heat rejection, each checked against the design basis.
Coordinate utility service applications and technical exchanges with the electric, gas and water utilities (load letters, phasing, energization schedule) with the Senior Director of Engineering.
Permitting, Code and Funding Compliance
Coordinate the permit path with the design firm, EHS and the authorities having jurisdiction: building, fire, air district, hazardous materials and utility…
