Battery Production Engineer

About the Role

We are hiring a Battery Production Engineer to work hands-on in lithium-ion battery pack manufacturing. This role focuses on running production activities, maintaining quality benchmarks, hitting output goals, and supporting ongoing improvements across the battery assembly line.

Key Responsibilities

• Carry out the complete manufacturing and assembly flow for battery packs.
• Handle cell sorting and matching, spot welding, busbar fitting, BMS integration, wiring, insulation work, enclosure assembly, and final pack assembly.
• Run and supervise battery production machines and assembly fixtures.
• Follow the production plan and meet daily output commitments.
• Perform battery tests such as OCV, IR, capacity, charge-discharge, leakage, and functional checks.
• Work in line with SOPs, work instructions, and quality requirements throughout the process.
• Spot production bottlenecks and coordinate with Quality and Maintenance teams to resolve them quickly.
• Track process parameters and keep production logs, check sheets, and daily MIS reports up to date.
• Implement Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) and ensure process documents are updated correctly.
• Support improvement programs using Lean Manufacturing, Kaizen, and 5S methods.
• Maintain ESD discipline, workplace safety, and correct handling of lithium-ion cells and battery packs.
• Work closely with Planning, Quality, Stores, and Engineering teams to keep production moving smoothly.
• Coach production operators on assembly methods and safe work practices.
