Job description

Some of the things you’ll do

• Responsible for developing, stabilizing, and scaling electrode manufacturing processes in a battery cell pilot-line environment. The line operates at prototype and pilot scale rather than mass production and supports R&D development, Design of Experiments (DoE), and industrialization preparation.
• Focuses primarily on electrode production processes including slurry mixing, coating, slitting and calendering.
• Owns process definition and optimization, creates bill-of-process parameters, troubleshoots equipment and materials issues, and collaborates closely with R&D to transfer laboratory‑scale electrode concepts into scalable manufacturing processes.
• Defines and maintains process parameters and Bill-of-Processes (BoP) optimize processes for quality, repeatability, and scalability.
• Hands‑on engagement in production and direct interaction with equipment, technicians, and external suppliers.

What We´re looking for

At Altris we value individuals who are keen to learn and develop their own skill set. If you're a problem solver who loves production and process development environment and making complex things work, then this is the place for you. Beyond that we imagine that you have some of the following points on your resumé:

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in chemical engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
• Minimum 5+ years hands‑on experience in battery electrode manufacturing.
• Proven experience in slurry mixing, coating, and calendering processes.
• Experience working in pilot lines, prototyping, or industrialization environments.
• Fluent English communication skills (spoken and written).
• Strong understanding of electrode materials, rheology, and coating behaviour.
• Familiarity with scale‑up challenges from lab to manufacturing.

What you will get

We can promise you that you will be challenged, develop your skills and have the opportunity to work with truly amazing and competent colleagues. If you like changes and want to set new processes and ways of working - this is the place for you!

Diversity and inclusion are very important to us and we are committed to creating an inclusive work environment. We want to be a workplace where everyone’s perspectives and opinions are valued, and we are dedicated to creating opportunities for all employees to thrive and reach their full potential.
