Role Description
We’re looking for a Senior/Staff Manufacturing Engineer that is looking to amplify their impact and help build a new manufacturing organization. This person will be responsible for engineering all functional aspects of our assembly manufacturing ecosystem from floor to ceiling. This work starts with a two-way conversation with our design engineers to both inform their designs (DFM) and get a jump start on developing the equipment and processes. Work will range from participating in hands-on trial builds at a prototype level up to delivering outsourced, high-budget, high-volume solutions at new production facilities. You’ll work with design engineers, supply chain, operations, safety, facilities, assemblers, and a host of other teams and outside suppliers and consultants. As we manufacture our products for the first time, expect a slew of surprise issues that will need rapid root cause investigation and resolution demanding critical thinking, persistence, and collaboration. It’s going to be an exciting ride building something from nothing, and we hope you join us making giant batteries to tackle climate change!
