Coreshell Technologies, Inc. is unlocking the true capacity and economics of batteries. Our goal is to provide the fastest path to transforming the battery industry so that clean energy solutions can be deployed on a global scale. Were accomplishing this with our uniquely scalable thin-film coating process that solves battery electrode surface instability - a fundamental problem that is at the root of capacity and safety issues in nearly all rechargeable batteries. Our coatings can dramatically reduce battery manufacturing costs while improving cycle lifetime, energy density and thermal runaway propensity for both state-of-the-art as well as next-gen battery chemistries.
Position: We are looking for a Senior Test & Controls Engineer with strong programming and electrical engineering design background to create automated systems to operate Coreshells customized pilot processing equipment and to support battery testing, data collection and analysis.
Core Responsibilities: Coreshells Senior Test & Controls Engineer will work closely with both R&D and Engineering teams to design, build, program and maintain HMI, PLC/IO, electrical, data collection and data analysis systems.
- Oversee the design, installation, and startup of pilot-manufacturing electrical systems, including equipment power distribution, equipment process control, and data information systems.
- PLC programming & custom HMI design for systems incorporating a wide variety of control/sensor IO.
- Specify & design electrical subsystems for new equipment supporting high-volume production based on product requirements and process operational criteria.
- Maintaining and improving cloud SQL test data management systems, with the goal of helping R&D teams conduct useful data analyses in efficient and timely ways.
- Work with R&D team members to create new data analytics for extracting novel metrics from test data.
- Develop technology master plans, control narratives and design standards for electrical systems and automation equipment.
- Provide technical direction to engineering firms, equipment vendors, and construction resources throughout various project phases (design through construction and startup).
- Execute vendor acceptance testing and startup validation activities for new manufacturing equipment.
- Lead strategic controls-related improvement projects.
- Troubleshooting difficult equipment breakdowns and chronic electrical failures to minimize production downtime.
