Manufacturing Engineer

The Role:

We are seeking a Manufacturing & Product Development Engineer specializing in Energy Storage Systems (ESS) to support the development, optimization, and production of battery modules, packs, and product-level systems.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering design and manufacturing operations, ensuring that energy storage products are safe, reliable, scalable, and cost-effective to produce.

Job Responsibilities:

Manufacturing Process Development (ESS Focus)

• • Evaluate and optimize manufacturing processes related to battery cells, modules, packs, BMS electronics, wiring harnesses, and energy storage subassemblies.
• • Lead process validation, test procedure development, and engineering change assessments for high-voltage system builds.
• • Troubleshoot systemic production issues such as weld quality, insulation faults, thermal uniformity, and electrical performance deviations.
• • Develop and implement tooling, fixtures, and automated test equipment (ATE) specific to ESS assembly and validation.
• • Implement Poka-Yoke solutions for HV connectors, torque-critical joints, and other manufacturing processes both manual assembly and automated assembly.

Energy Storage Product Development Support

• • Apply DFM/DFA principles to battery enclosures, busbars, thermal management, and mechanical structures.
• • Lead prototype builds, pilot production, and design verification activities (DVT/PVT).
• • Author work instructions, HV assembly procedures, QC checks in Work instructions and safety-critical documentation for ESS production in our MES system

Quality, Safety & Compliance

• • Create and maintain PFMEA, DFMEA, Hazard Analysis, and Control Plans for ESS hazards.
• • Ensure compliance with UL9540, UL1973, UL9540A, UN38.3, NFPA855 and related standards.
• • Support audits, customer reviews, and certification activities.
• • Develop electrical, functional, and safety test protocols.

Production Support & Collaboration

• • Support Production, Quality, Maintenance, and Supply Chain with real-time troubleshooting.
• • Assist with BOM development for battery modules/packs and HV components.
• • Train production staff in HV safety and battery handling requirements.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering
• 3–7 years of experience in a manufacturing engineer role. (in energy storage, battery, EV, or power systems preferred)
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes, fabrication methods, and tool design
• Familiarity with manufacturing equipment and quality assurance techniques
• Familiarity with UL, UN38.3, IEC, NFPA, ISO9001/13485.
• Commitment to health and safety standards
• Strong understanding of HV safety, HV Battery Safety, and LOTO procedures.
