Power Battery / Solid-State Battery Executive Search

We deliver mission-critical C-suite & technical leaders for global automotive power battery design, cell manufacturing, and next-generation solid-state battery industrialization businesses.
Power Battery / Solid-State Battery

Power batteries and solid-state batteries form the core of global EV mobility and grid storage, covering passenger EVs, commercial fleets, onboard power systems and stationary energy storage. Advances in high-energy-density materials and stricter safety certifications create acute shortages of senior technical and management talent for LFP/ternary cell manufacturing, solid electrolyte R&D, pack integration and thermal design. Traditional recruitment fails to attract passive top battery specialists, slowing R&D team setup and large-scale solid-state battery industrialization.

FORESTOWN delivers global senior talent consulting for Power Battery & Solid-State Battery, supporting EV OEMs, cell producers, next-gen battery labs and upstream material & equipment suppliers. Our worldwide network of vetted electrochemistry and process experts provides full-cycle services: industrial talent mapping, electrochemical competency evaluation, compliance verification and full onboarding, cutting core team construction time and improving technical role matching.

As a reliable cross-border battery industry talent partner, we draw deep electrochemical expertise and global talent resources to help battery and automaker clients build elite R&D & management teams and ease widespread high-end talent shortages. Our bespoke executive talent strategies match clients’ gigafactory expansion and solid-state mass-production roadmaps, driving innovative growth across the global advanced power battery supply chain.
