Own the technical process for Electrode operations Feeding/Mixing, slurry preparation and coating on the Pilot Line.  

Develop, validate, and standardize process parameters for each chemistry (e.g., LFP, NMC, or other emerging chemistries), and lead DOE studies to define robust process windows ahead of scale-up to mass production. Act as the technical bridge between R&D, Quality, and Production during chemistry changeovers and NPI trials translating formulation/design inputs into executable process specifications and control plans and troubleshooting process deviations using engineering root-cause methods. Ensure process data is captured accurately in MES/SAP to support Cpk/SPC analysis and CAPA closure. 

• Develop and own process parameters (slurry viscosity/rheology, mixing time, coating weight, coating speed) for each chemistry run on the Electrode Pilot Line. 

• Design and execute DOE studies to establish and validate process windows for new chemistries, materials, or equipment settings; analyse results and issue updated process specifications. 

• Author and maintain Process Control Plans, PFMEA, and process specifications/SOPs for the Electrode Pilot Line, updating them for every chemistry changeover. 

• Lead first-article/first-off process validation for new chemistry or material introductions before handing over to Production for trial builds.

• 5–10 years of process engineering experience in Li-ion cell, EV battery, or solar cell manufacturing, with hands-on ownership of process development, NPI, or multi-chemistry changeover work 

• Deep technical knowledge with R&D team on new Chemistry development and industrialization of electrode manufacturing.  

• Added advantage if candidate have experience on Feeding/Mixing, Slot Die coating, and Calendaring, and how parameters shift across chemistries into process specifications 

• Strong grounding in DOE, Six Sigma, and process control (PFMEA, Control Plans, Cpk/SPC); skilled across problem-solving tools (8D, 7 QC, 5-Why, Fishbone) 

• Coordinate with equipment suppliers/OEMs on process-related equipment capability, calibration, and upgrades needed to support new chemistries. 

• Analyze process capability (Cpk), SPC trends, and NG/defect data captured in MES/SAP to identify process drift and drive corrective action. 

• Lead technical root-cause investigations for process-related exceptions and NG products, using 8D, Six Sigma, 7 QC Tools, 5-Why, Fishbone/Ishikawa, and FMEA; verify CAPA effectiveness. 

• Coordinate with the Quality team to define/align process-linked acceptance criteria and inspection plans for each chemistry trial.
