What You’ll DoWhat You’ll Bring
- Drive development of new/innovative manufacturing processes from proof of concept through to full scale production that enable improved battery performance and cost, and meets throughput requirements
- Characterize existing processes, establish controls for critical parameters, improve process robustness, and conduct analysis/interpretation of experimental data
- Create robust materials testing protocols to inform process development and quality control
- Conduct root cause analysis of failure modes at various process steps
- Drive process commissioning on new production lines
- Establish process controls for SPC, develop process related OCAPs, and execute DoEs to optimize process conditions
- Develop and manage PFMEA risk assessments to prioritize process improvement projects and ensure adequate metrology and controls are in place
- Debug process integration issues to ensure interactions between processes are kept under control
- Build process documentation to accurately define the process to cross-functional teams (equipment, quality, production, etc.)
- Model holistic process costs using bottoms-up system approach
- Bachelor’s Degree in Chemical, Mechanical, Materials Engineering, or equivalent experience
- 1+ year interdisciplinary/integrated engineering, process development, manufacturing engineering, or equivalent
- Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals and ability to apply them towards manufacturing process development
- Ability to build structure-property-processing relationships for different material classes e.g., ceramics, polymers, and composites
- Proven problem solver - demonstrated experience of data driven root cause analysis, statistical software (JMP) a plus
- Demonstrated capabilities in manufacturing process development for new and unique products
- Hands-on experience and fundamental understanding of one or more materials characterization techniques such as SEM, XRD, particle size measurement, dry and wet rheology, Raman spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, TGA, DSC etc.
- Willingness to perform hands on work on pilot and production lines, as well as in laboratory settings
- Experience in high volume manufacturing involving one or more of these areas is highly desired: material formulations expertise, dry powder handling and processing, mixing fundamentals and scale up expertise, ceramic and composite materials, pneumatic conveyance of powders and composites, automated mechanical assembly, power electronics, industrial chemical processing, battery manufacturing (Li-ion or other chemistry)
These jobs might be a good fit
