Job summary

Hysata Pty Ltd in Australia is recruiting a Manufacturing Process Engineer with a quality focus to scale our capillary-fed electrolyser manufacturing. You will own inspection strategy across cell fabrication and stack operations, lead structured RCAs, and implement durable CAPAs on the floor and with suppliers.

The role emphasizes hands-on problem solving, on-site collaboration with manufacturing teams, and a drive to embed quality into processes from pilot to scale.

Qualifications

• Degree, diploma, or trade qualification in engineering, materials science, chemistry, manufacturing, or related.
• 3-7+ years in a manufacturing process or quality engineering role, with a track record of solving real production problems.
• Hands-on with RCA (5 Whys, Fishbone, 8D), non-conformance management, and process improvement.
• Comfortable on the floor, biased to action, calm under pressure, and solutions-focused.
• Desirable: electrolysers, fuel cells, or hydrogen tech; ISO 9001; SPC or data analysis; startup or scale-up experience.

Responsibilities

• Own inspection strategy and acceptance criteria across cell material fabrication (coatings, substrates, treatments), cell assembly, and stack operations – catching defects at the earliest, cheapest point.
• Lead RCA on non-conformances, yield loss, and customer issues; drive corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to closure and verify they hold.
• Improve process capability through error-proofing, parameter control, and basic SPC; convert see-and-fix cycles into permanent process and design improvements.
• Manage supplier quality – incoming inspection, non-conformances, and documentation (CoC, inspection reports, traceability);
• Maintain QMS records, change control, and CAPAs so quality data is trusted and audit ready; and
• Train operators and champion a right-first-time mindset – fixing the process, not assigning blame.
