Full Job Description
What You Will Be Doing:

You will design, implement, and optimize the production process for in-house capacitors. This is a unique opportunity to collaborate with other teams (Supply Chain, Production, Engineering, Test Operations), directly influence the commissioning timeline for Helion's first power plant, and lay the groundwork for Helion's transition to generator mass-manufacturing. This is an onsite role that reports to the Factory Development Manager at our Everett, WA office.

You Will:
  • Design and implement rate-based assembly processes with support from Production and Engineering
  • Manage interdisciplinary projects to increase rate and throughput of capacitor line (e.g., floor layout, tooling, build cells, large-scale equipment)
  • Help develop new business processes such as non-conformance management, process control, process safety, and asset maintenance to grow production line and build the foundation for high-volume production
  • Gather data (labor hours, cycle times, fallout) to identify production bottlenecks, and propose and deploy solutions (design changes, process changes, equipment, automation)
  • Identify high return-on-investment capabilities, including capital equipment and software capabilities that improve manufacturing processes, partnering with Production, Finance, Operations, and Facilities teams
  • Collaborate on development of future processes in parallel with supporting and enabling higher output on current production line


Required Skills:
  • Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
  • 2+ years of technical work experience that includes development and improvement of production systems
  • Hands-on engineering or manufacturing experience in rate-based and high-volume manufacturing
  • Experience communicating with and influencing partners across organizational lines
  • Experience in cradle-to-grave ownership of complex engineering or production scopes
