 Coordinate between R&D, process, equipment, and quality teams
 Maintain project documentation, timelines, and technical reports
Battery Development Support
 Support electrode fabrication, electrolyte preparation, and cell assembly
 Assist in coin cell and pouch cell fabrication
 Monitor process parameters, yields, and deviations
 Support N/P ratio optimization, loading optimization, and process
trials
Pilot-Line Operations
 Support pilot-line activities including slurry preparation, coating, drying, calendaring, stacking, and sealing
 Assist in equipment commissioning, qualification, and troubleshooting
 Ensure adherence to SOPs, safety protocols, and cleanroom practices
Data Analysis & Reporting
 Compile and analyze electrochemical and process data
 Track ICE, capacity retention, impedance growth, and failure trends
 Prepare technical summaries, dashboards, and review presentations
Quality, Safety & Compliance
 Support process consistency, repeatability, and quality control
 Participate in root-cause analysis (RCA) and corrective actions
 Ensure compliance with EHS and lab safety standards
Required Qualifications
Education
