Skills Gaps Are Pushing Battery Manufacturers to Reorganise Around Blended Teams What we are seeing

Skill shortages span manufacturing, electrochemistry, battery management systems (BMS) and product/system design.

Leading employers are building cross-functional teams that blend chemistry, engineering, software, automation and sustainability.

Research organizations find interdisciplinary work increasingly dominant and tending to achieve higher impact.
