Job description

Lyten is leading an industrial revolution through Lyten 3D Graphene™, a breakthrough supermaterial unlocking a new generation of products — from lithium–sulfur batteries and energy storage systems to concrete admixtures, lightweight composites, and next-generation sensors that are revolutionizing industries. Together, these innovations are making a massive global improvement and driving real-world impact across energy, mobility, construction, and defense.

At Lyten, we believe the most meaningful careers begin with purpose — and with people who want to make a difference. We’re not just developing advanced supermaterials — we’re about to change the world as we know it, reshaping how energy is stored, how products are built, and how progress is made.

We’re entering an exciting growth phase, scaling production across the U.S. and Europe and expanding our team of engineers, scientists, and innovators.

We are looking for a Process Engineer to join the core team responsible for launching a new production line. After the start-up phase, you will take full ownership of assigned equipment and processes, driving their performance and continuous improvement. Initially, you will be part of the team responsible for commissioning and ramping up the production line to achieve the required machine and process capabilities.

Once the line is stabilized, you will assume the role of equipment owner, taking full responsibility for the performance, reliability, and continuous improvement of assigned machines and processes.

Your responsibilities

• Act as equipment owner, driving loss elimination through OEE improvement plans for assigned production machinery
• Play a key role in production line launch and ramp-up, achieving targeted machine and process capabilities
• Lead equipment fine-tuning, debugging, and process adjustments during commissioning and ramp-up phases
• Support scrap reduction initiatives in cooperation with the QA team to continuously improve OEE
• Monitor and report OEE (daily, weekly, monthly) and execute improvement actions using the PDCA cycle
• Actively participate in Team Pulse, Area Pulse, and Weekly OEE Improvement meetings
• Establish world-class production standards, documentation, and processes with a strong focus on safety, quality, reliability, and performance
• Support implementation of tool management and workplace cleanliness policies in production areas
• Support engineering and maintenance teams during installation, commissioning, start-up, FAT, and SAT of production equipment
• Contribute to operator training programs and create work instructions as part of continuous improvement initiatives
• Challenge existing work processes with the aim of optimizing headcount and improving efficiency
• Lead root cause analyses for failures and implement preventive actions (methods, process, equipment), documenting investigation results
• Work closely with quality, engineering, operations, maintenance, and design teams
• Propose and support design changes and equipment modifications, including validation
• Improve equipment process documentation and standards
• Use ERP and MES diagnostic data to analyze production throughput and performance, driving improvements in key KPIs
• Promote a zero-loss mindset and continuous improvement culture across the organization
• Ensure and maintain 5S standards within the production area
• Support capital improvement projects derived from OEE improvement plans

You will also have the authority to stop production if performance abnormalities or non-conformities threaten equipment integrity, product quality, or safety.

What we are looking for

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics Engineering, Production Management, or a related field
• Minimum 3 years of experience in a similar role within a manufacturing environment
• Experience with Continuous Improvement methodologies such as Lean Management, Lean Six Sigma, Kaizen, 5S (IWS experience is a plus)
• Ability to read technical documentation, mechanical drawings, and electrical diagrams
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including statistical data analysis
• Experience with 8D problem solving and Ishikawa diagrams
