Purpose of the Role

Own end-to-end process management of the entire Pilot Line, including planning and execution of chemistry changeovers (e.g., LFP to NMC, or any other emerging chemistry) to support R&D; trials and current product qualification. Organize and control Pilot Line operations across all process areas E/A/B zones to support process qualification, DOE trials, and yield/quality improvement targets across chemistries.

Key Responsibility Areas

Manpower, Line & Shop-floor Management

• Plan and manage manpower deployment across the Pilot Line including shift/line management, attendance, multi-skilling, and readiness for changeover-driven workload swings.
• Own overall shop-floor management of the Pilot Line, day-to-day activities across process areas, work allocation, housekeeping (5S), and coordination across electrode, cutting/stacking, cell assembly, welding, formation & aging, and inspection stations.
• Manage non-standard procurement and consumables required for pilot builds (trial materials, spares, tooling, jigs/fixtures, chemistry-specific PPE),



coordinating with Procurement/Stores to avoid trial downtime.

Knowledge Generic

Process Ownership & Chemistry Changeover Management

• Own the Pilot Line process end-to-end across all process areas, including planning, sequencing, and executing changeovers between chemistries (e.g., LFP to NMC or other future chemistries) with minimal downtime.
• Define and maintain changeover procedures, process parameters, and equipment settings/fixtures required for each chemistry, ensuring the line can be reconfigured quickly and repeatably for new trials.

Job Context

Functional

• Organize and implement Pilot Line process/changeover strategies and action plans across all process areas to attain process-validation and productivity targets across chemistries.
• Capture, analyze, and report trial data (process capability, NG rates, root-cause analysis) to support go/no-go decisions on process and equipment readiness for m
