Manager of Manufacturing Engineering
American Battery Technology Company, Reno, Nevada, United States, 89550
American Battery Technology Company (ABTC) provides technical development and commercialization of domestic, sustainable sourcing of critical battery materials through lithium-ion battery recycling and battery metal extraction technologies for use in batteries that power electric cars, grid storage applications, and consumer electronics and tools.
As our Manager of Manufacturing Engineering, you will lead a technical engineering team to develop and implement system designs of our proprietary lithium-ion battery recycling processes and primary resource extraction technologies. The ideal candidate should have experience with the design, installation, commissioning, and operations of first-of-kind facilities, with an emphasis on practical solutions, equipment integration and manufacturing automation safety.
Responsibilities
Lead a technical team of engineers to design and implement battery recycling & primary resource extraction systems starting from a laboratory scale basis into pilot and commercial scale systems. Lead projects from conceptual designs into detailed engineering plans including mechanical design, equipment selection and layout drawings. Iterate on technical improvements to novel processing steps for extracting high purity battery materials consistently from various feedstocks. Develop Manufacturing Engineering standards, templates, procedures and processes. Develop FMEA, HAZOPs and Risk Assessments for both chemical and manufacturing processes. Develop technical requirements for equipment, coordinate with vendors, and review equipment and process submittals. Design integration strategies to ensure reliable material flow, process control, and quality control. Working with operations teams to produce equipment buyoff, commissioning, and ramp plans. Support operations and R&D teams by providing technical feedback and test plans for continuous improvement. Use feedback from operations to inform next-generation designs of our technology and processes. Collaborate with program management and construction teams to safely and quickly implement efficient designs. Requirements
Background in Engineering (Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical, or Mechatronics preferred) 8+ years of engineering experience in production, manufacturing Strong understanding of equipment design, process design, and plant operations Experience with commissioning and troubleshooting first-in-kind manufacturing lines (Process Qualification, Quality Management incl. FMEAs and Control Plans, Manufacturing Instructions) Experience implementing data-driven improvements to operational lines (DOE, Change Management) Experience in Statistical Process Control (SPC) Experience designing/operating conveyance and material handling systems for bulk materials Experience implementing safety systems for manufacturing lines (Safety Buyoffs, HAZOP/PHA/FMEA) 2+ years of engineering leadership and building or expanding engineering teams. Able to interpret and produce Process Flow Diagrams (PFD), Basis of Design, Equipment Specifications, Control Narratives, and Operating Procedures Working knowledge of mechatronics and discrete control strategies (conveyance, safety devices, PLC) Ability to positively collaborate in a team environment Preferred Qualifications
Chemical or Mechanical industry background (High Volume Manufacturing, Gas & Chemicals, Metals & Mining, Mineral Processing, etc.) Able to interpret and produce Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID) Experience interfacing with an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software Experience in development and integration of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) Experience with CAD programs (e.g., Autodesk, SOLIDWORKS) Benefits
