## About SES

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: SES AI Corp. is a publicly traded company that develops AI-enhanced high-energy-density Li-Metal and Li-ion batteries for electric vehicles, urban air mobility, drones, energy storage, and robotics.
- **Entity Type**: Public (NYSE: SES)
- **Headquarters**: Woburn, Massachusetts, USA (with major operations in Shanghai, China and Chungju, South Korea)
- **Founded**: 2012
- **Founders**: Dr. Qichao Hu (Founder, Chairman & CEO)

## Core Business
- Primary industry: Advanced battery manufacturing and materials science (Li-Metal and Li-ion), with a strong focus on AI-driven material discovery and battery management.
- Target customers: B2B – automotive OEMs (GM, Honda, Hyundai), drone manufacturers, urban air mobility companies, and energy storage system integrators.
- Mission: “Accelerate the world’s energy transition through material discovery and battery management.”

## Products & Services
- **Li-Metal Battery Cells**: High-energy-density cells in form factors like 30Ah, 100Ah, and 6Ah, designed for EV, UAM, drones, and robotics.
- **Molecular Universe (AI4Science SaaS Platform)**: An AI-driven platform that maps small molecules and deploys AI agents to accelerate electrolyte material discovery for both Li-Metal and Li-ion chemistries.
- **Avatar (AI for Manufacturing & Safety)**: A set of AI solutions that capture manufacturing defects beyond conventional quality control and predict battery health and vehicle value.
- **ESS (Energy Storage Systems)**: Fully integrated hardware/software solutions for data centers and commercial & industrial applications, including battery health and safety management powered by Molecular Universe.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Approximately $1.0 billion (as of mid-2026, per LinkedIn data)
- **Key Metric**: Annual revenue – Not publicly available (SEC filings exist but not summarized in available sources); Total funding – IPO in 2022 (amount not specified in search results)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Joint development agreements with General Motors, Honda, and Hyundai – the only Li-Metal battery company with three such major automotive partnerships.
- **Growth Signals**: Opened a new manufacturing facility in Chungju, South Korea; expanded NDAA-compliant drone cell production; Shanghai Giga facility (300,000 sq ft) is one of the largest Li-Metal pilot plants globally. However, LinkedIn shows a 6.7% year-over-year decline in headcount (98 employees as of mid-2026).

## Competitive Advantages
- First batteries in the world to contain electrolyte materials discovered by AI (via Molecular Universe platform).
- Deep partnerships with three global automakers, providing co-development and potential supply channels.
- End-to-end R&D from AI-driven material discovery to large-format cell manufacturing.
- Global footprint with facilities in the US, China, and South Korea, enabling access to different supply chains and markets.

## Strategic Focus
- Scaling Molecular Universe to accelerate material discovery for both next-generation Li-Metal and mainstream Li-ion applications.
- Expanding Avatar AI solutions to ensure 100% battery safety in the field and reduce manufacturing defects.
- Diversifying beyond automotive into drones, urban air mobility, robotics, and stationary energy storage (ESS).
- Strengthening NDAA-compliant supply chains for defense and drone applications.

## Why Work Here
- Culture: “SES welcomes all, but is not for everyone” – the company seeks top-tier talent in electrochemistry, computational chemistry, cell engineering, AI/ML, and materials science.
- Locations: Woburn (Boston HQ), Shanghai, Chungju (South Korea), with additional offices in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia.
- Work policy: Likely on-site/lab-intensive given battery R&D and manufacturing; specific remote/hybrid policies not disclosed.
- Notable perks: Not explicitly listed, but employees have backgrounds from MIT, Harvard, national labs, and top battery companies. Salary ranges from LinkedIn: Technician ~$60k, Senior Electrical Engineer ~$131k, Senior Software Engineer ~$130k.
- Engineering culture: Heavy emphasis on AI for science, autonomous labs, and real-world impact on energy transition.
