Job Opportunities API

You’ll be working with the Manufacturing Engineering & Supplier Development team. This team is responsible for developing and industrialising metal components used in EV battery systems, chargers and energy products. The focus is on building strong manufacturing processes with supplier partners while ensuring high-quality, scalable and cost-effective component development. This role bridges metallurgy, manufacturing engineering and supplier development to enable robust product industrialisation. Our philosophy:  Break. Believe. Build Break stuff. Break assumptions. Break the thumb rule. Believe in the team. Believe in the process. Believe through failures. Build fast. Build passionately. Build to simplify. What you will do In this role, you will own the development and industrialisation of metal components manufactured at supplier facilities. You will work closely with vendors, design teams and manufacturing engineers to ensure components are manufacturable, scalable and capable of meeting quality and performance requirements. You will also drive new process development and evaluate emerging manufacturing technologies for future products. Responsibilities Metal Component Development • Lead development of metal components across multiple manufacturing processes including: – Welding – Extrusion – Machining – Castings (HPDC / LPDC) – Sheet metal forming and deep drawing – Laser cutting and bending • Support development of EV-specific components such as: – Cold plates – Deep drawn tubs and enclosures – Busbars and flexible busbars – Structural and thermal management components • Work closely with design teams to evaluate manufacturability and process feasibility • Ensure components meet dimensional, cosmetic, structural and functional requirements Metallurgy & Process Engineering • Apply metallurgy fundamentals for material selection and process compatibility • Evaluate weldability and material interaction between different alloys and processes • Understand material behaviour during forming, welding and thermal cycles • Support selection of materials and joining methods based on product and process requirements • Drive development of advanced joining technologies such as: – Friction Stir Welding (FSW) – Diffusion welding – Laser welding Supplier Development & Industrialisation • Work closely with supplier partners to develop manufacturing capability and process stability • Support process setup, validation and production readiness at vendor facilities • Conduct process audits, capability studies and manufacturability reviews • Drive resolution of quality and process issues within aggressive project timelines • Ensure suppliers implement robust controls for repeatability and traceability Process Capability & Continuous Improvement Understand and improve process capability (Cp/Cpk) for critical dimensions and features Drive process optimisation for quality, yield and throughput improvement Support root cause analysis and corrective action implementation for manufacturing issues Introduce best practices and standardisation across suppliers and processes The ideal candidate requires • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Metallurgy, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or related field • Minimum 5 years of experience in metal manufacturing, fabrication or supplier process development • Strong understanding of manufacturing processes including: – Welding – Extrusion – Machining – Casting – Sheet metal forming • Strong metallurgy fundamentals and understanding of material compatibility and weldability • Experience working with suppliers and external manufacturing partners • Understanding of process capability, validation and manufacturing scale-up • Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills • Ability to manage quality and delivery expectatio
