Who You AreAs a Process Integration Engineer, you work at the critical intersection of R&D and High-Volume Manufacturing (HVM). You will be responsible for developing and optimizing manufacturing process workflows across multiple products and unit operations to maximize yield, reliability, and performance. This is a high-impact role, designed for a builder who is highly collaborative, fluent in process engineering fundamentals, and is passionate about bringing new materials-based technologies to the market.
Responsibilities and Duties - Plan and execute experiments to validate new materials and characterize new processes and equipment.
- Analyze process data and defect trends to identify root causes of yield loss and implement corrective actions.
- Design and implement efficient manufacturing flows for new products, ensuring compatibility between different unit operations, and maintaining high safety standards throughout production pathways.
- Coordinate with design, equipment, and materials engineers to resolve integration challenges and align on performance targets.
- Maintain detailed process specifications, flowcharts, and FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) documentation
Knowledge and Skill Requirements - 2+ years of hands-on process development and/or engineering experience. Experience in materials-centric industries (e.g., semiconductors, battery tech, specialty chemicals, or advanced composites) is highly preferred.
- Proficient in statistical software and the application of Statistical Process Control (SPC).
- Strong ability to report technical data to both technical teams and management stakeholders.
- B.S. or M.S. in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics or a related field.
Physical Demands and Working Conditions- Pass a respirator fit test and be able to wear respiratory protection on a daily basis
- Wear personal protective equipment including, but not limited to, a lab coat, gloves, safety glasses, and steel toe safety shoes
- Move items up to 50 lbs with the assistance of lift equipment and carts
- Move long distances (such as from building to building) and be stationary for extended periods of time
- Reach low shelves or items on the floor
- Enter spaces narrower than 3 feet
- Climb stairs or over containment walls
- Precise and repetitive handling of a range of material quantities
- Operate a computer and other office equipment, such as a laptop, copier/printer, etc in a fixed location
- Travel as needed to manufacturing sites, up to 10% of time
The starting base pay for this role is between $107,000 and $136,000 at the time of posting. The actual base pay depends on many factors, such as education, experience, and skills. Base pay is only one part of Sila's competitive Total Rewards package that can include benefits, perks, and equity.
