Formation Process Engineer

No matter which country you’re in, the transition from an economy based on fossil fuels to one based on sustainable energy sources is well underway. It takes slightly different approaches, and it progresses from different starting points depending on the area, but it’s clear, we’re all engaged in a global shared “electrification" challenge.

At BASQUEVOLT our mission is to develop sustainably the best battery materials and cells that will make possible the mass deployment of electric transportation, stationary energy storage and advanced portable devices.

Our proprietary solid-state battery technology will allow us to develop and commercialise safe, high performance and affordable products for a diverse portfolio of customers, from mobility, stationary energy storage and consumer electronics.

To this end, we offer the position of Formation Process Engineer.

MAIN FUNCTIONS

The Formation Process Engineer successful candidate will join Basquevolt’s Cell Engineering team and will be responsible for the electrochemical design of Basquevolt’s lithium-ion cells for our global customers. Reporting to the Process Engineering Director, s/he will be responsible for:

1. Develop and scale up assigned responsibility for formation process.
2. Lead prototype builds through development of the processes, tooling, and equipment.
3. Define process critical parameters to optimize the process condition to make sure the consistency of cell manufacturing.
4. Work with machine suppliers during equipment design to implement required capabilities and process.
5. Provide process documentation (PFMEA, Control Plan) for the newly developed processes and assembly concepts.
6. Confirm process standards based on the optimum equipment operating and process conditions through process capability analysis and statistical process analysis.
7. Evaluate process data to determine failure modes and identify opportunities to improve; contribute to improved design and operating specifications supporting product, material, process, and equipment development initiatives.
8. Support optimization of formation process applied to Basquevolt propietary technology.
9. Perform battery tear downs to identify failure modes and prepare reports.
10. Analyse process data and communicate results with cross functional teams.
11. Investigate equipment related issues to provide root cause analysis and support timely corrective actions.
12. Ensure appropriate collection and utilization of process data at pilot and production scaling.

The Formation Process Engineer is expected to work as a team member with other parts of the company and maintain in-depth relations with all members of the Process Engineering team.
