This is an exciting time at Enovix! We are looking for experienced candidates to help support our new lithium-ion battery production facility in Penang, Malaysia for commercialization of our 3D Silicon Lithium-ion Rechargeable Battery.
Position Overview
We are seeking a hands-on Technical Project Lead (TPL) to anchor execution of battery New Product Introduction (NPI) programs across cell, module, and pack-level builds, ensuring tooling, process, and operations readiness from prototype through MPV.
Core Responsibilities
- Own battery NPI execution from prototype builds (EVT/DVT/PVT) through MPV, meeting schedule, scope, and quality targets.
- Bridge R&D and Manufacturing, translating design intent into robust, scalable processes through customer qualification and mass production.
- Manage factory readiness for NPI builds: tool procurement, installation, and qualification; line layout; station readiness; and material flow.
- Partner with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams on line design, throughput and headcount planning, IQA/IPQC/OQC checkpoints, and SPC monitoring.
- Align R&D, engineering, operations, EHS, quality, and supply chain to resolve blockers.
- Identify technical risks (e.g., yield, process maturity, equipment delays) and drive mitigation and closure of open issues through structured issue management and regular technical meetings.
- Maintain build plans, tooling trackers, layout drawings, readiness checklists, and deviation reports, and support related Engineering Change Orders (ECOs).
- Serve as the technical point of contact for customers during NPI builds, including status updates, design and readiness reviews, audits, and site visits.
- Lead resolution of customer quality issues using 8D, CAPA, and RCCA, and deliver PPAP/FAI packages, control plans, PFMEAs, and quality reports.
- Feed customer requirements and lessons learned back into process, tooling, and inspection improvements.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering or related technical field.
- 3+ years of engineering experience in battery manufacturing (cell/module/pack level).
- 7+ years of experience in technical project management or NPI execution in a high-tech manufacturing environment.
- Hands-on experience with battery manufacturing processes, from electrode (mixing, coating, calendering) through cell assembly, formation, testing, and pack assembly.
- Familiarity with EVT/DVT/PVT/MPV/HVM stages and direct experience with equipment bring-up, layout planning, and line validation.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with FMEA/PFMEA, DOE, control plans, and SPC/IQA/IPQC/OQC in battery production.
- Customer-facing quality experience (8D, CAPA, RCCA, audits, PPAP/FAI).
- Data analysis skills in JMP, Python, or similar, plus familiarity with MES and yield tracking.
- Exposure to Lithium-Ion battery performance and reliability testing, qualification and certification
Success Metrics
- On-time NPI builds (EVT to MPV) with tooling and processes fully qualified.
- Timely closure of open items and customer quality issues (8D/CAPA/RCCA) without recurrence, backed by clear, data-driven updates to leadership.
- Seamless handoff from engineering to manufacturing for volume production ramp.
