What You’ll Do
  • Drive commissioning and ramp of manufacturing equipment systems, in custom high-speed automated manufacturing equipment, and qualify them using statistically valid data sets and workflows.
  • Work collaboratively as the equipment expert to ensure production lines run safely, efficiently, and produce high-quality parts.
  • Become the owner/subject matter expert to drive equipment-related process improvements, including detailed troubleshooting and root cause analysis.
  • Drive manufacturing ramp by characterizing baseline performance and improving equipment with laser weld systems; ensure manufacturing lines meet OEE goals.
  • Review critical process metrics daily for statistical shifts from nominal and develop action plans to address issues.
  • Identify and/or develop critical process monitors and metrics for battery module and pack manufacturing to diagnose issues, efficiently identify root causes, and implement both reactive and proactive solutions.
  • Guide and develop roadmaps for aggressive improvement to OEE metrics: Yield, Cycle Time, Availability, and Cost. Report metrics to upper management.
  • Troubleshoot and recover processes using PLC, HMI, or tool management software, and implement changes or improvements.
  • Build training materials, maintenance routines, and related documentation for equipment life cycle management.
  • Lead safety and ergonomic improvements to production equipment that meet or exceed regulations and best practices.
  • Identify equipment critical spare parts and ensure sufficient coverage to prevent extended downtime.
  • Provide direction and mentorship to third-party machine/automation suppliers and internal machine building teams; participate in supplier/internal equipment FAT and SAT.
  • Develop and manage FMEA/risk assessments to prioritize equipment improvement projects and ensure effective repair strategies.
  • Manage workload with a positive attitude as a team player in a collaborative work environment.
  • Drive continuous improvement and support activities for engineering and manufacturing, including 5S, Lean manufacturing activities, material handling improvements, production line configuration, and safety procedures.
What You’ll Bring
  • Degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, or another Engineering discipline (or equivalent experience) with 3 to 5 years of relevant experience in a high-volume manufacturing environment.
  • Experience with equipment using vision systems, with strong hands-on experience in pilot and high-volume manufacturing, including hardware and software selection.
  • Demonstrated experience in ramping high-volume, automated, and semi-automated manufacturing lines, with creative capacity for developing new, faster, and cost-effective production methods.
  • Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals and the ability to apply them toward manufacturing process development.
  • Ability to derive data-supported root causes and propose strong countermeasures using statistical tools (e.g., Minitab) and SQL for data extraction.
  • Structured thinking and exceptional problem-solving skills, proven through root cause analysis and process improvement projects.
  • 3D CAD design experience (SolidWorks, CATIA, AutoCAD) for production equipment, including creating/validating layouts, tooling drawings, pneumatic, and electrical schematics.
  • Hands-on experience with mechanical/electrical work on production lines and capability to maintain process and equipment documentation (e.g., spare parts lists, PM plans, control plans, PFMEAs).
  • Familiarity with manufacturing systems like Ignition Automation, two-part adhesives, fastener rundown traces (Atlas-Copco), and vision inspection systems (e.g., Keyence 2D image inspection and profilometry).
  • Fanuc robot programming (nice to have).
  • Availability for domestic and international travel as required.
  • Passion for making high-quality products with a continuous improvement mindset and a capacity for managing simultaneous activities and competing priorities.
  • Knowledge and understanding of battery module technology (a plus).
