AdressAs a Senior Process Engineer at our organization, you'll lead the optimization of our production processes, ensuring seamless material application onto substrates. Leveraging your expertise in roll-to-roll processes and Web Handling physics, you'll drive strategic decisions to enhance efficiency and quality. Your responsibilities will include overseeing material application, controlling web movement to minimize defects, and commissioning high-speed processes.
Currently the team consist of 5 subject matter experts, who's experienced in a specific processes. We aim to expand the team to at least 10 engineers. Our team's overarching objective is to drive innovation and advancement within the battery industry. This includes introducing new technologies and next-generation products, leading the scale-up process from pilot line to mass production, and resolving bottlenecks by integrating new technologies into existing production lines. We prioritize understanding the fundamental structure-property relationship of the electrode and conduct trials to enhance our understanding and share knowledge with fellow electrode engineers.
Key responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Improve web stability in battery manufacturing by enhancing Web Handling technologies and principles.
- Upgrade mechanisms for guiding, controlling, and converting web material to ensure precision and minimize waste.
- Take charge of optimizing roll-to-roll processes for coating, lamination, or printing onto substrates.
- Drive initiatives to improve efficiency and quality across production lines, ensuring operational excellence.
As we work towards building a mass production facility, we require individuals with deep industrial and theoretical knowledge of the electrode process. The ideal candidate will contribute by conducting trials and research to obtain and implement crucial learnings. Given the simultaneous nature of this work alongside production, engineers must be capable of independently solving complex problems while maintaining a relative distance from direct production involvement. Contribution stems from applying first principles to identify root causes of issues and leveraging experience and knowledge to propose unconventional solutions.
