This is a unique opportunity to influence the metrology and inspection protocols for a groundbreaking technology in electric aviation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and manage assembly process requirements, collaborating with stakeholders to ensure tooling, equipment, processes, and assemblies meet specifications.

  • Conduct Process Capability studies utilizing statistical modeling to identify and implement improvements within production processes.

  • Lead the transition of new production techniques from laboratory settings to the battery pilot line.

  • Identify, select, and oversee the commissioning of cutting-edge adhesive dispensing and surface preparation processes, guiding them from concept to certification.

  • Work closely with industrialization partners to select production equipment and conduct in-line inspections.

  • Provide ongoing production support and continuous process enhancements for novel prototype and certification battery manufacturing, ensuring adherence to quality and certification standards.

Your Qualifications

  • Solid background in high-volume final assembly and lean manufacturing principles, with relevant experience in new product introduction (NPI).
