About the role

The Process Engineer II is responsible for independently driving process performance, yield improvement, quality enhancement, and operational excellence within the Electrode Manufacturing area.
This role serves as a technical subject matter expert for assigned manufacturing processes and equipment, leading complex troubleshooting efforts, process optimization projects, new technology implementation, and production ramp-up activities.

Lead investigations of complex process and quality issues, identify root causes, and implement effective corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to prevent recurrence.
Design, execute, and lead Design of Experiments (DOE) activities to optimize process capability, product quality, throughput, and cost.
Own and continuously improve key manufacturing performance indicators including OEE, yield, scrap, process downtime, cycle time, and productivity.
Lead qualification activities for new materials, equipment, tooling, and process technologies, including validation of process changes and performance verification.
Develop technical reports and present findings, recommendations, and project updates to plant leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
Drive continuous improvement initiatives utilizing Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Statistical Process Control (SPC), and other problem-solving methodologies.
Lead non-conformance investigations and implement robust containment, corrective action, and long-term preventive measures.
Develop, maintain, and improve PFMEAs, Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), Control Plans, process specifications, and manufacturing standards.
Evaluate and approve 4M (Man, Machine, Material, Method) changes and support New Product Introduction (NPI), process transfers, and manufacturing ramp-up activities.
Serve as technical lead for assigned production lines by providing advanced troubleshooting support for process and equipment-related issues.

Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related engineering discipline required.
Minimum 3 years of manufacturing engineering experience, preferably in lithium-ion battery manufacturing, semiconductor, automotive, chemical processing, or other high-volume manufacturing environments.
Participate in customer audits, internal audits, and quality system activities as required.
Demonstrated experience leading process improvement projects and cross-functional technical initiatives.

Experience supporting electrode manufacturing processes including mixing, coating, drying, calendering, slitting, or related technologies preferred.

Strong knowledge of DOE, Statistical Process Control (SPC), Process Capability Analysis, Six Sigma, and root cause analysis methodologies.
Experience utilizing quality tools including PFMEA, Control Plans, 8D, Fishbone Analysis, Pareto Analysis, and Failure Analysis techniques.
Ability to analyze large manufacturing datasets and translate findings into actionable process improvements.
Proficiency with statistical analysis software such as Minitab, JMP, or equivalent analytical tools.
Strong understanding of manufacturing process control and process validation methodologies.
Strong technical writing, presentation, and communication skills.
Effective collaboration and leadership skills with cross-functional teams.
Ability to mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance to manufacturing personnel.
Strong problem-solving skills with a data-driven and continuous improvement mindset.
