Sila is hiring a Staff Process Integration Engineer to operate at the critical intersection of R&D and High-Volume Manufacturing (HVM). You will be responsible for developing and optimizing manufacturing process workflows across multiple products and unit operations to maximize yield, reliability, and performance.
What You'll Do
- Analyze process data and defect trends to identify root causes of yield loss and implement corrective actions.
- Develop and implement robust, scalable process pathways for battery material synthesis, reconciling performance specification requirements with high-volume throughput realities.
- Ensure seamless integration of new products and process technologies into production with an uncompromising focus on safety (EHS), product quality, and mechanical performance.
- Utilize advanced statistical modeling and DOE (Design of Experiments) to define operating windows, set rigorous material specifications, and predict product performance, risks, and tradeoffs at scale.
- Maintain detailed process specifications, flowcharts, and FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) documentation.
- Coordinate across departments (Engineering, Analytics, Quality) to resolve integration challenges and align on performance targets.
- Lead the transfer of developed processes from R&D and/or Pilot Line to high-volume manufacturing facilities.
What We're Looking For
- 8+ years of hands-on process development and/or engineering experience.
- Deep expertise in methodologies used to transition products and processes from prototype designs to High Volume Manufacturing (HVM).
- Proven track record of using FMEA and root-cause analysis to solve complex integration challenges.
- Proficient in statistical software and the application of Statistical Process Control (SPC).
- Strong ability to report technical data to both technical teams and management stakeholders.
- B.S. or M.S. in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or a related field.
Nice to Have
- Experience in materials-centric industries (e.g., semiconductors, battery tech, specialty chemicals, or advanced composites).
- PhD in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or a related field.
Team & Environment
You will coordinate across departments (Engineering, Analytics, Quality).
Benefits & Compensation
- Salary range: $152,000 to $192,000.
Work Mode
This role is onsite.
