Anode/SE Sr electrode process engineer

Factorial is looking for an All-Solid-State Battery Anode Wet & SE Slurry Coating Process Engineer responsible for the wet slurry coating process and equipment development for anode and sulfide-based solid electrolyte (SE) applications. We leverage cutting-edge wet electrode manufacturing to revolutionize all-solid-state battery performance, cost, and scalability. This role requires experience in close cooperation with internal teams and external partners. This candidate will be involved from the beginning of process optimization for R&D projects, pilot line scale-up, and through to low/high-volume production. The candidate must demonstrate excellent written and verbal communication skills to facilitate efficient communication between various departments/vendors.

Technical Expertise:

• →3+ years of hands-on experience in wet electrode coating manufacturing for lithium-ion batteries, sulfide electrolyte system experience highly preferred.
• →Deep knowledge of wet process steps: slurry preparation (dispersion, deaeration), precision coating (doctor blade/slot-die), vacuum drying, calendaring, and lamination.
• →Proficiency in material characterization (SEM, XRD, adhesion testing) and data analysis tools (JMP, Minitab).

Process & Quality Tools:

• →Mastery of DOE, SPC, FMEA, and Six Sigma methodologies.
• →Experience scaling processes from R&D to high-volume production.

Equipment & Innovation:

• →Proven ability to collaborate with equipment suppliers on custom solutions.
• →Familiarity with ASSB-specific process challenges (moisture control, interfacial stability, mechanical pressure sensitivity).

Education & Collaboration:

• →Master's in chemical/Materials/Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• →Strong cross-functional skills to work with R&D, production, and supply chain teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Hands-on experience with sulfide solid electrolyte systems or halide electrolyte systems.
• In-depth understanding of binder systems (PVDF, CMC/SBR) and conductive additives behavior in wet coating processes.
