Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Design and execute experiments for fabricating ceramic films on prototype heat treatment equipment. Analyze characterization data to recommend hardware and process improvements for production scale-up.
Requires a PhD in engineering or science with 6+ years of experience, or an equivalent MS/BS with industry experience. Must be proficient in materials characterization, CAD software, and data analysis tools.
QuantumScape is on a mission to transform energy storage with solid-state lithium-metal battery technology. The company’s next-generation batteries are designed to enable greater energy density, faster charging and enhanced safety to support the transition away from legacy energy sources toward a lower carbon future.
About the team: The Cobra Hardware & Process team develops the heat treatment equipment and process for scale-up of the Cobra ceramic separator manufacturing process. We custom design most of our tools in-house to the needs of our unique process and materials system. The team consists of both hardware and process engineers, who work closely together to identify and implement novel solutions for improving throughput, quality and robustness.
What we need: The Cobra team is seeking an experienced and highly skilled Process Development Engineer to help develop our next-generation processes and tools. We are looking for a candidate with a strong background in processing or materials, who also has experience working on equipment and can interface seamlessly with mechanical and controls engineers on the team. In this position, your input will be critical in guiding which new design and process approaches are prototyped, get deployed on production tooling, and become part of our long-term roadmap, making this a pivotal role for shaping the future of our separator manufacturing.
ONSITE: This position is required to work onsite 5 days per week to meet the minimum essential duties and requirements of this position. As an on-site R&D and manufacturing operations organization, in-person face to face interaction is essential to building authentic relationships, trust, teamwork, and collaboration.
Compensation & Benefits: Expected salary range for this role is from $ 161,500 to $217,450, and a final salary will be determined by the candidate's experience and educational background. QuantumScape also offers an annual bonus and a generous RSU/Equity package as part of its compensation plan. In addition, we do offer a tremendous benefits plan including employee paid health care, Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), and other benefits.
We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
We will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform essential job functions, and to receive benefits and privileges of employment. Please contact us to request an accommodation.
