- Define and implement best practices for air cathode manufacturability assessment, design for manufacturing, manufacturing cost modeling, and manufacturing partner qualification
- Work closely with the design teams and electrode manufacturing teams to integrate DfM feedback to continuously improve cost and quality
- Develop pilot, low volume and high volume air cathode manufacturing equipment sets (sometimes in parallel)
- Define, develop, and implement metrology and quality control methods
- Work with NPI teams to hand-off new equipment and processes to production operations
What You'll Bring
- 10 years manufacturing and assembly experience of complex products that rely on some core materials technology
- Experience building a world-class engineering team
- Experience manufacturing NPI and transition to high volume manufacturing
- Line design, installation, commissioning, and production ramp experience
- Management of custom equipment design and development internally and/or with equipment suppliers
