About Us

An electrical grid powered by renewables requires massive investments in energy storage technologies. Lithium-ion batteries have been deployed on the grid, but the world needs solutions that are lower cost with longer lifetime and better safety, and which are not limited by raw materials availability and foreign supply chains.

At Inlyte, we are driven by a deep-seated hope based on human potential. Our team is transforming the proven sodium metal chloride battery technology into a solution to meet the energy needs of today. Made of iron and sodium, our energy storage systems are built from naturally abundant and inexpensive raw materials. Proven benefits include:

• Low cost materials and manufacturing
• Safe, durable in extreme temperatures, long-lifetime, with high round-trip efficiency
• Domestically-sourced production without supply chain constraints

This role will be instrumental in building and managing a world-class supplier base that is high quality and low cost and resilient to delivery challenges.
