Lead the operation of electrode and cell assembly equipment to produce and test state-of-the-art prototype battery cells
Carefully document critical build process parameters and quality control metrics, and perform analysis as needed
Perform regular equipment inspections before and after running the equipment; work closely with equipment team to achieve optimal overall equipment efficiency
Perform build QC on all electrodes and cells – this will include building and testing half-cell coin cells and running other electrochemical diagnostic techniques
Provide feedback on existing SOPs and assist the process and equipment engineering teams to write new SOPs
Diagnose cell build issues and equipment failures - root cause and communicate required actions between the equipment and process engineering teams
Perform minor equipment repairs, rebuilds, and installations, and coordinate with equipment team for major repairs
What You’ll Bring
