Tech Transfer Engineer: Scale Pilot to Mass Production

CelLink Corporation; Georgetown (TX); On-site; USD 95,000 - 135,000; Full time

Job summary

CelLink Corporation is seeking a Process Engineer for the Tech Transfer team to convert pilot processes into robust, scalable high-volume manufacturing solutions. You will work hands-on on the production floor, maturing processes and validating equipment to ensure a smooth transition from NPI to sustained production across EV, energy, data centers, and aerospace applications.

You will partner with design, operations, quality, and controls teams, lead qualification efforts, and develop

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Materials Science, Physics, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or related field.
• 3+ years of hands-on professional experience.
• Proven experience transitioning processes from pilot production into high-volume production.
• Strong background in process design for manufacturability, yield improvement, and cost reduction.
• Experience with production launches, process transfers, and manufacturing scale-up activities.
• Prior manufacturing start-up experience.
• Familiarity with advanced materials and high-volume manufacturing methods (e.g., vacuum lamination, thermally-activated adhesives, roll-to-roll processing, material patterning, laser welding)
• Solid background in statistical methods, data visualization, systematic experiment design, and related software (e.g. JMP, Minitab, etc.)
• Ability to synthesize and interpret complex data sets to understand physical phenomena and support data-driven decisions
• Ability to safely and confidently operate and troubleshoot custom manufacturing and metrology equipment
• Independent problem solver with a desire to learn new skills and new technology
• Strong organization skills and a detail-oriented mindset
• Able to adapt to changing requirements in a fast-paced start-up setting
• Strong communicator and collaborator, energized by working across functions to bring products to market
• Ability and willingness to travel up to 25%, mainly to our HQ in Redwood City, CA.

Responsibilities

• Own the transfer of products from NPI into high-volume manufacturing, including up to 25% travel to the NPI/development HQ (Redwood City, CA)
• Scale and mature manufacturing processes from NPI builds to repeatable, high-volume production, with a focus on yield, throughput, cycle time, quality, and manufacturability
• Establish and validate process windows, operating parameters, and control strategies required to achieve production targets.
• Lead process qualification, capability studies, and structured validation activities to demonstrate that processes can consistently meet production requirements.
• Partner with customer-facing teams and cross-functional engineering groups to resolve technical gaps and drive launch readiness
• Provide hands-on, on-site launch ownership and line support during high-volume ramp, including troubleshooting, debugging, and rapid resolution of process issues.
• Conduct structured experiments and root cause analysis to de-risk manufacturing scale-up and accelerate product launches
• Work hands-on with high-volume manufacturing equipment
• Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation and train staff to ensure smooth handoff from Tech Transfer into sustained high-volume production
