Process Assistant Engineer

We are looking for a Process Assistant Engineer to join our Sweden factory and support the daily management optimisation and continuous improvement of our separator coating processes.

About Senior Material Europe

At Senior Material Europe we manufacture separator film a thin film used in lithium-ion batteries including batteries for electric vehicles. The separator is a key component that helps make lithium-ion batteries safer more durable and more efficient supporting the transition towards a more electrified future.

Our production is modern advanced and operated under controlled cleanroom conditions. The manufacturing process consists of four main process steps where precision stability and quality are essential.

Together we are building advanced manufacturing capabilities in Europe and developing solutions that make a difference both today and for the future.

The Role

As a Process Assistant Engineer you will support the daily operation and continuous improvement of our slurry coating and slitting processes. You will work with production and process data assist in troubleshooting and process validation and contribute to improving process stability product quality and production efficiency.

The role is hands-on and cross-functional giving you the opportunity to work closely with Production Quality Equipment and R&D teams while developing your technical and analytical skills in a modern manufacturing environment.

Job Responsibilities

• Assist in the daily maintenance and optimisation of separator coating processes including slurry coating and slitting parameters and other key process conditions.

• Provide technical support to Production and assist in troubleshooting issues related to process parameters materials and other process abnormalities.

• Collect organise and analyse production data and key process parameters identify abnormal trends and support continuous process improvement.

• Assist in process validation and DOE trials evaluate the impact of parameters on process and product performance and support optimisation of the process window.

• Participate in internal and customer quality investigations using methods such as 5 Why Fishbone Diagram and FTA.

• Assist in developing PDCA actions and verifying their effectiveness.

• Support new product trials new slurry and raw material validation and process condition verification.

• Follow up on trial production and analyse relevant process and quality data.

• Work with Equipment Engineers to analyse how different equipment functions affect product quality and support equipment and process improvements.

• Assist in preparing and maintaining SOPs process parameter sheets work instructions validation reports technical reports and other process-related documentation.
