Formation and EOL Quality Engineer

Responsibilities

• Own process quality for designated lines and campaigns from formation through end-of-line testing
• Define and maintain critical quality characteristics such as charge/discharge profiles, capacity, and impedance
• Support design of experiments (DOE) to develop and refine formation and aging recipes
• Integrate CT and other scanning techniques into end-of-line quality control
• Lead data-driven monitoring for end-of-line testing and cell cycling
• Develop and maintain quality documentation including process flow diagrams, control plans, and risk analyses
• Execute measurement system studies (MSA/GR&R) for in-line and offline measurements
• Lead structured problem solving using root cause techniques like 5-Why and 8D

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in chemistry, materials science, chemical engineering, or a closely related field
• 5+ years of experience in battery manufacturing or pack design
• Deep understanding of lithium-ion cell electrochemistry, including SEI/CEI formation and degradation mechanisms
• Hands-on experience with battery cycling equipment and end-of-line vision systems
• Practical experience using CT scanning or advanced characterization methods such as SEM
• Strong knowledge of quality and statistical tools including DOE, SPC, MSA, and FMEA
• Proven technical leadership and ability to drive complex, multi-variable problems to closure

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree in electrochemistry, Materials Science and Engineering, or a related field
• Experience integrating formation and aging data with CT and spectroscopy techniques
• Familiarity with gigafactory scale manufacturing systems and large cycling datasets
• Experience with advanced analytics, such as multivariate analysis or machine learning, to identify cell failure patterns
