Manufacturing Process Engineer, Electrified Energy Storage

Skillframe AI; Mason (OH); On-site; USD 90,000 - 125,000; Full time

Job summary

Skillframe AI seeks a Manufacturing Process Engineer to design and document end-to-end battery module and pack assembly processes. You will codify standard work, select and validate tooling, and train teams to ensure repeatable, safe production.

You will lead process improvements, support ramp-ups and new variant launches, and apply CAPA and poka-yoke to reduce defects while improving yield and efficiency on the line.

Qualifications

• Experience designing and documenting manufacturing processes for battery modules/pack assembly.
• Ability to codify processes into standard work with revisions and changes.
• Experience specifying and evaluating tools, fixtures and inspection equipment.
• Focus on EHS compliance, safety, and ergonomic risk reduction on the line.
• Proven track record delivering yield, cycle time, and scrap reductions using lean methods.

Responsibilities

• Engineer end-to-end assembly processes for battery modules and packs.
• Create standard work instructions linked to drawings, BOMs, and revisions.
• Specify and validate tools, fixtures, and inspection equipment for the line.
• Support ramp-up, volume changes, and new variant introductions with corrective actions.
• Define in-process checks, poka-yoke, and CAPA-driven improvements.
• Bridge design to manufacturability with engineering changes and pilot builds.
• Drive continuous improvement to improve yield, cycle time, and waste.
• Ensure safe work practices and ergonomics; maintain process metrics.

Job description

Manufacturing Process Engineer, Electrified Energy StorageStart with the missionBattery manufacturing rewards discipline and punishes improvisation. Tiny process slips compound into major quality escapes; early instability drains margins. Your mission is to engineer safe, efficient, and repeatable assembly processes so scale is predictable and customers can rely on every module and pack we ship.Your impactEngineer end-to-end assembly: Architect and document complete manufacturing flows for battery modules and packs, defining sequence and work content to meet quality, takt, and safety/ergonomics.Codify the work: Build visual, precise standard work and instructions tied to drawings/BOMs, current revisions, and approved changes—and train the team.Equip the line: Specify, install, commission, and sustain tools, fixtures, inspection/test equipment, and material handling aids; validate equipment readiness and settings.Stabilize ramps: Support initial launch, volume ramp, and new variant introductions; act fast on process issues, bottlenecks, or downtime with corrective actions.Control variation: Define in-process checks, error-proofing (poka-yoke), and capability/control plans; drive root cause analysis and CAPA with Quality.Bridge design to build: Evaluate manufacturability impacts from engineering changes, update processes/instructions, and support pilot builds for smooth NPI transitions.Relentlessly improve: Deliver gains in yield, cycle time, labor efficiency, and scrap/rework by applying lean methods and improving flow.Protect people: Ensure EHS compliance and safe work practices; identify and mitigate ergonomic and safety risks across assembly and material handling.Make it measurable: Maintain accurate process definitions, equipment settings, and change histories; report process metrics that guide operations.Where you sit and who you team withReporting line: Director of ManufacturingCross-functional partners: Production Supervisors and Operators; Product Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Thermal); Product Integration; Quality; EHSCore emphasis: Manufacturing process design, on-line support, and CILife on the floorBe present on the line—troubleshoot equipment and process issuesRefresh and release documentation as changes occurJoin improvement events; help balance stations and staffingCoordinate tightly with engineering and quality to maintain stabilityWhat you will deliverProcess flows and layoutsStandard work and operator instructionsTooling and equipment specificationsContinuous improvement plans and resultsInputs to production readiness and launch reviewsAuthority and constraintsAuthority to define and enhance manufacturing processesNo authority over product design choicesDuty to promptly escalate safety, quality, or capacity risksHow we’ll gauge successStable, repeatable processesHigher first-pass yield and fewer defectsThroughput aligned with takt-time targetsLess downtime and reworkEffective NPI handoffsCore capabilitiesIndustrial and Manufacturing Engineering5 Why root cause analysisProcess EngineeringMachine setup for production runsProcess developmentCorrective and preventive actions (CAPA)Cycle time optimizationLine launchProduction line setup
