CELL DEVELOPMENT AND PROCESS ENGINEERING ROLES — QUANTUMSCAPE (CALIFORNIA, USA)
California, United States
Full-time
Onsite
Mid, Senior Level, Lead/StaffQuantumScape is a leader in the development of next-generation battery technology, and they are seeking multiple engineering roles to drive innovations in cell development and production processes. The positions include responsibilities such as optimizing production processes, defining strategies for cell development, and leading end-to-end development efforts to enhance battery performance and reliability.
Association
Responsibilities
Take ownership of key production processes, working directly with operators and engineers to maintain line throughput, yield, and performance
Develop, optimize, and troubleshoot automated production processes while collaborating with Operations, R&D, Automation, Quality, and Specification teams to improve throughput, efficiency, and yield
Lead the introduction of new processes, identify bottlenecks and failure points, and implement both short- and long-term mitigation strategies, including control plans
Define strategy, orchestrate multi‑quarter development programs, and mentor engineers while staying close to the work—uncovering mechanisms and translating them into concrete changes to cell components, design, and processes
Scope and lead end‑to‑end development efforts that directly impact cell performance and reliability
Lead projects to devise innovative cell designs, specify and optimize assembly processes, and integrate new materials/components into our anode‑less solid‑state batteries
Partner across automation, metrology, FA and manufacturing, owning projects and driving them to completion
Validate changes to cell design, develop and optimize cell assembly processes, and integrate new materials and components
Turn test and metrology data into insights that guide the next build—working closely with cell design, metrology, failure analysis, and manufacturing teams
