We seeking a Process Engineer to scale prototype wet-cell processes into safe, repeatable, and efficient industrial manufacturing solutions. This role will own electrolyte filling (e-fill), wetting, degassing, sealing, and formation processes from development through production ramp.
Responsibilities
Plan and execute design of experiments (DOEs) to characterize process-performance relationships and establish critical process parameters and process windows.
Provide direct engineering support during builds, process trials, and production ramp.
Lead root-cause investigations and implement corrective actions for existing prototype production processes.
Identify manufacturing risks through PFMEA and implement mitigation plans.
Support PFMEAs, process capability studies, gauge R&R studies, and change control.
