Teams at Our Next Energy

Leads mechanical component development from concept through prototype, validation, and production readiness. Responsibilities include 3D CAD design, GD&T drawings, fabrication, assembly, debugging, DFM analysis, DFMEA support, risk mitigation, supplier engagement, and design optimization. The role also conducts R&D on novel battery-pack structures and mechanical systems, evaluates designs analytically and empirically, and supports prototype builds and manufacturing launch.

Leads electrochemistry research and development for lithium-ion battery cells, including materials evaluation, cell architecture studies, degradation analysis, experimental design, and electrochemical testing. Builds data and analysis infrastructure, investigates quality and yield issues, supports equipment commissioning, and translates findings into production-ready cell designs and processes. Collaborates with manufacturing, engineering, quality, supply chain, suppliers, and academic partners to improve cell performance, safety, lifetime, and manufacturing stability.

Integrates, commissions, troubleshoots, and optimizes automated manufacturing equipment, including PLCs, HMIs, robots, vision systems, networks, and safety controls. Supports equipment design reviews, FAT, SAT, installation, production launches, MES and SCADA integration, root cause analysis, continuous improvement, documentation, standards, and technical training. Collaborates with engineering, maintenance, operations, quality, IT/OT, suppliers, and machine integrators to improve safety, quality, throughput, uptime, and reliability.
