Figure is an AI Robotics company developing a general purpose humanoid. Our Humanoid is designed for corporate tasks targeting labor shortages and jobs that are undesirable or unsafe. We are based in Sunnyvale, CA and require 5 days/week in-office collaboration.
We are looking for a Staff Battery Manufacturing Engineer to lead the development of our battery pack manufacturing line for both prototype and production scale. In this role, you will work with a highly cross functional group to innovate at the manufacturing level and enable an industry leading battery pack for a humanoid robot.
Responsibilities:
- Drive battery pack manufacturing line development efforts both in house and with third party machine/automation suppliers/CM’s
- Set up and manage battery pack manufacturing equipment including wire bonding, adhesive dispense and potting machines
- Develop manufacturing process flow diagrams and control plans
- Specify requirements and acceptance criteria for manufacturing equipment and processes required for battery pack and module manufacturing
- Design mechanical and electromechanical fixtures in CATIA V6
- Drive machine qualification including correlation, process capability (CP/CPK) and Gage Repeatability / Reproducibility (GR&R)
- Work with the product design team to facilitate pack design for manufacturability and design for assembly
- Monitor production metrics and KPIs, identifying areas for improvement and implementing corrective actions
- Program adhesives dispense paths and potting dispense machines, optimize for yield and cycle time. Troubleshoot failures and apply corrective actions
Requirements:
- 7+ years of experience in battery manufacturing
