Formation Process Engineer - Lithium Battery R&D & Scale-Up

Verkor; Grenoble; Presencial; EUR 60.000 - 85.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Verkor is seeking an R&D Formation Process Engineer in Grenoble, France, to advance lithium-ion cell formation processes from concept to pilot-scale. You will define processes, run DoE studies, and partner with design, materials, and equipment teams to ensure scalable, robust production concepts.

You will lead pilot-line definitions, assess capabilities, and drive tech transfers to manufacturing, while benchmarking against industry leaders.

Formación

• Master's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Materials, or Industrial Engineering.
• 3+ years in lithium-ion battery process development, or 6+ years for a senior role.
• Strong experience in lithium-ion cell assembly or formation processes.
• Experience with DoE, statistical analysis, and data-driven process optimization.
• Hands-on experience in dry room or cleanroom environments.

Responsabilidades

• Define and develop formation processes from concept to pilot-scale validation (DoE, PoC, and scaling laws).
• Design experiments to understand process windows, critical parameters, and failure mechanisms in cell manufacturing.
• Lead pilot-line process definition, capability assessment, and technical readiness for scale-up.
• Interface with equipment suppliers to translate process requirements into equipment specs.
• Collaborate with cell design and materials teams to optimize cell architecture for assembly robustness and yield.
• Establish process targets, control strategies, and documentation for handover to manufacturing teams.
• Perform root cause analysis on assembly defects observed during development.
