Lithium film deposition for next-generation battery anodes
Elevated Materials manufactures ultra-thin lithium films using vapor deposition (PVD) for battery anodes. The company is actively transitioning from R&D to production—evidenced by heavy project investment in pilot scaling, equipment development, and process refinement—while simultaneously expanding into Germany and navigating hazardous-materials compliance. The hiring mix skews senior (4 of 7 roles) across engineering and manufacturing, reflecting both technical depth needed for process maturity and the operational complexity of scaling chemical manufacturing.
Elevated Materials develops and manufactures ultra-thin, uniform lithium films for battery anode applications across electric vehicles, eVTOL aircraft, stationary energy storage, and consumer electronics. Their vapor deposition process is tailored to graphite, silicon, and lithium metal anode chemistries. Founded in 2025 and based in Santa Clara, CA, the company operates at the materials-manufacturing stage—controlling both proprietary deposition equipment and the chemical process IP. Current operational priorities include scaling from pilot to production volumes, establishing manufacturing compliance infrastructure (EHS and hazardous-materials handling), and geographic expansion into Germany.
