Sr. Integration Engineer, Cell Manufacturing

The Integration Engineer is responsible for leading technically challenging forums and cross-functional correlation efforts to support 4680 cell product/process/manufacturing changes and development.

Kato (Fremont, CA) is a development-heavy site where different programs are at different levels of program maturity requiring technical engagement, cross-functional leadership, and lots of coordination. Working with safety, design, manufacturing, quality, production, engineering, NPI, and service departments, you will lead cross-functional teams to ensure validation targets and data correlations have been fulfilled for change/trial/builds in intention of scaling.

• Develop a deep understanding of our cell product design and manufacturing processes to technically inform impact of changes and correlations/relationships between product/process/performance
• Lead/Inform DOEs to ensure data-driven approach to trials/builds/experiments; Lead data reviews of documented test results to inform conclusions to draw back to respective programs and maintain records
• Lead/support program trials/builds/development efforts across different levels of maturity (A/B/C-Phase Builds, Development builds or DOEs, etc.); coordinate cross-functional effort within our existing manufacturing systems
• Lead data analysis efforts, querying cross-shop and correlating data with respect to product/design/performance; Establish workflows or systems to enable Kato as a development site to thrive in high-quantity high-complexity trials

• 5+ years of experience as a Process/Manufacturing/Production/Cell/Data Engineer in a battery cell manufacturing environment (pilot/mass production); Experience with cross-functional management and being a technical leader
• Ability to problem solve and adjust priorities in a fast-moving and constantly evolving high growth environment; Comfortable in an environment with unstructured, incomplete, and ambiguous data
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Experience with pilot and/or mass production manufacturing (battery cell manufacturing experience preferred)
• Strong engineering skills and proven track record of exceptional ability (i.e., you personally solved difficult problems that moved the needle on meaningful projects)
• Production Operations Knowledge - has a firm understanding of how complex production lines operate including key items such as industrial workings between facilities/departments, line balance, OEE, error proofing, etc.
• Understanding of how the manufacturing validation process runs in relation to complex new products that stretch across various engineering teams and manufacturing centers/factories (methodology, validation plans, associated KPIs)
• Understanding of data/statistical models, capable to lead querying/correlation study efforts with direct experience using data systems/tools (scripts, JMP, Minitab, MES-systems, etc); experience forming/leading Design of Experiments (DOEs)
