Electrode Slurry Process Engineer – Battery Development

General Motors (GM); Warren (MI); Hybrid; USD 90,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

General Motors is seeking a Process Engineer to support electrode manufacturing at the Wallace Battery Development Center. In a pilot-scale setting, you will develop, optimize, and execute electrode slurry mixing processes to transform emerging chemistries into scalable manufacturing steps.

You will collaborate with product and materials engineering, quality, and operations teams, maintain detailed records, and contribute to SOPs.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering or closely related technical field.
• 3+ years hands-on process engineering in lab, pilot plant, or manufacturing environment.
• Experience with slurry mixing, chemical formulation, and wet chemistry processes.
• Strong understanding of chemical processing fundamentals and process controls.
• Experience developing and documenting manufacturing processes, recipes, or SOPs.
• Structured problem-solving experience (8D, DMAIC, A3).
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and communication skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively in cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

• Develop and optimize electrode slurry mixing processes for advanced battery materials and technologies.
• Create, maintain, and execute mixing recipes with detailed parameters and sequences.
• Perform slurry characterization (viscosity, solids content, particle size, coating performance).
• Investigate deviations and quality concerns; implement corrective actions.
• Collaborate with product, materials, quality, and operations teams to scale up processes.
• Maintain accurate process records, batch logs, and technical documentation.
