Also, the low cost of Sodium compared to Lithium is a promising factor to consider Sodium as the alternate future battery technology. Sodium-ion batteries are emerging as potential alternatives to existing lithium based battery technologies as the world will encounter diminishing resources for the latter. Its working principle and cell construction are almost identical with those of commercially widespread lithium-ion battery types, but sodium compounds are used instead of lithium compounds. Prefer candidates who can work from mid-morning to evening to provide engineering support to the cell line second shiftĮmployees must work on site in Santa Clara.Ĭompensation is competitive with other Bay Area manufacturing/process engineer positions.The sodium-ion battery ( NIB or SIB) is a type of rechargeable battery analogous to the lithium-ion battery but using sodium ions (Na +) as the charge carriers. Occasional travel may be required (<10%)īachelor’s or graduate degree in engineering, materials science, chemistry, physics, or a related field.įluency in Six Sigma problem-solving method and tools including DOE, fishbone, FMEA, Control Charts and statistical analysis.ĭemonstrated experience solving process yield, throughput and product quality problems.Įxperience in battery assembly is preferred Perform DF(X) design for manufacturing/test/Assembly analysis on existing and new products.Īssist directly with the transfer of processes from pilot operations in Santa Clara to manufacturing operations in Holland MI.
