About the role

In the near term, you will be driving industrialization and process control.
The Engineering Manager needs to be agile, professional, and comfortable in a rapidly changing environment.
The right person is trustworthy with confidential information, highly organized, self-motivated, has excellent communication skills, can think strategically, and works equally as well independently as with a team.

Lead the translation of laboratory and pilot-scale carbon foam processes into robust, reproducible industrial manufacturing operations to take our material through testing and certification, prototyping, and product commercial launch.
Define and implement process control and improvement frameworks - including 6 Sigma, SPC and MSA - that establish and sustain process capability across manufacturing environments.
Drive continuous improvement in process efficiency, energy performance, heating uniformity, cost of goods and time to market.
Develop and evaluate innovative approaches to mold design, heating technology, and process configuration that enable scalable, high-throughput production.
Establish and maintain high engineering standards, including documentation, design review processes, and technical governance
Manufacturing Partner Development
Identify, qualify, and develop long-term technical relationships with external manufacturing partners.
Collaborate with R&D teammates to translate research outcomes into manufacturable processes and clear manufacturing inputs, streamlined processes, to reduce time to market.
Support project planning, prioritization, and budgeting in alignment with organizational goals and timelines.
Partner with leadership on strategic product and manufacturing roadmaps across all phases of commercial development.

Hands-on experience with mold design and molding processes, including thermal analysis, dead mass minimization, and scale-up.

Hands-on engineering and problem solving in a fast-growing start-up environment.
Serve as TAF Carbon's primary technical interface with manufacturing operations, ensuring alignment on process requirements, quality standards, and scale-up milestones.
Mentor and grow a high-performing engineering team, fostering a culture of technical excellence, accountability, and pragmatic problem-solving.
Model culture of demanding excellence, scientific rigor, problem solving and a daily irreverence to big company corporate culture.
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical or Chemical Engineering (or related field).
8+ years of progressive engineering experience in industry with 3+ years in a leadership or management role.
Demonstrated track record taking a material or chemical process from lab or pilot scale to industrial production - you have done this, not just supported it.
Deep working knowledge of foamed materials and the industrial processes used to make them: polymer foams, carbon foams, ceramic foams, or closely analogous materials.

$140,000 - $160,000 USD
