What You Will Be DoingThis is a newly created role driven by rapid growth and increasing R&D demand. It's a unique opportunity to join at a pivotal moment, helping shape how capacitor technologies scale from development into manufacturing while building the systems, teams, and processes that will define future success. You will lead the execution of capacitor R&D builds and pilot manufacturing, translating evolving engineering concepts into safe, repeatable processes. In this role, you will serve as a critical bridge between R&D and production, identifying manufacturability risks early, driving process improvements, and ensuring new technologies are ready to scale.
This role will provide leadership and operational oversight for a growing team of Engineering Technicians supporting first-shift manufacturing and R&D activities (Monday - Friday, 6:00 AM - 2:30 PM).
You Will- Responsible for R&D builds, prototypes, and pilot runs to meet aggressive development timelines
- Translate engineering intent into practical, high-quality manufacturing processes
- Make real-time technical decisions in fast-paced, ambiguous development environments
- Analyze data to identify process gaps, risks, and opportunities for improvement
- Lead and develop a team of Engineering Technicians, building capability and accountability
- Partner with engineering, production, and EHS to ensure aligned, safe, and effective execution
- Drive readiness for manufacturing through documentation, process definition, and knowledge transfer
Required Skills- 5+ years in manufacturing, R&D, or technical operations, including hands-on process development or NPI
- 2+ years leading or supervising technical teams in fast-paced environments
- Proven ability to troubleshoot and improve manufacturing processes under ambiguity
- Strong data-driven mindset with the ability to translate results into actionable improvements
- Experience working closely with engineering teams on early stage or rapidly evolving technologies
- Ability to adapt schedule and onsite presence to support team leadership, cross-functional coordination, and critical development activities
- Strong communication, organization, and execution skills
