Define and improve key process parameters such as coating gaps, pump rate, web speed, web tension, drying temperature profile, air flow, and solvent removal conditions.
Support process transfer from laboratory scale to pilot line and production scale, ensuring robust manufacturability and reproducible electrode quality.
Analyze and troubleshoot coating defects such as streaks, agglomerates, pinholes, edge defects, cracking, delamination, thickness variation, and poor adhesion.
Plan, execute, and evaluate structured trials and design-of-experiments activities to improve process capability, yield, throughput, and product performance.
Collaborate with slurry mixing, calendering, slitting, cell assembly, quality, and product engineering teams to ensure coating output meets downstream requirements.
Define process windows, control plans, inspection criteria, and acceptance limits for coated electrodes.
Support equipment commissioning, process validation, FAT/SAT activities, ramp-up, and continuous improvement projects.
Create and maintain work instructions, SOPs, process specifications, trial reports, and technical documentation.
Promote safe, clean, and disciplined operation of electrode coating equipment in line with EHS and quality standards.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemical Process Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Process Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
Relevant experience in electrode coating, roll-to-roll coating, thin-film coating, battery manufacturing, or a comparable high-precision production process.
Good understanding of lithium-ion battery electrode manufacturing, including slurry behavior, coating, drying, calendaring, and electrode quality requirements.
Experience with coating technologies such as slot-die, comma bar, doctor blade, or similar continuous coating processes.
Ability to interpret process data, identify root causes, and implement effective corrective and preventive actions.
