Description
About Ensurge Micropower Ensurge  Micropower (OSE: ENSU) is a pioneer in solid-state  microbattery technology, enabling the next generation of intelligent, connected devices. Leveraging proprietary thin-film and roll-to-roll manufacturing,  Ensurge delivers safe, high-energy-density batteries for wearables, health tech, industrial sensing, and defense applications.   As our technology transitions from development to production, disciplined manufacturing execution becomes the differentiator. Role Overview: Ensurge  is seeking a Senior Manufacturing Engineer (IC) to own and scale the Assembly, Laser, and Material Handling processes from pilot through early production. This role is not just about  process  — it is about delivering manufacturing results. You will be responsible for: • Turning engineering processes into production-capable systems • Driving output, yield, and stability on the line • Building the infrastructure (process, equipment, flow, documentation)  required  for repeatable execution This is a high-impact, hands-on role at the center of  Ensurge’s  transition from technology demonstration to product  delivery. Key Responsibilities Manufacturing Ownership & Output • Own daily manufacturing performance for the Assembly, Laser, and Material Handling areas • Drive output, yield, uptime, and cycle time • Support production directly — troubleshooting issues in real time • Partner with Operations to ensure line execution meets plan Process to Production Conversion • Convert R&D processes into repeatable, production-ready workflows • Define and lock: • • Process flows • • Critical parameters (CPPs) • • Control limits and OCAPs • • Ensure  processes are robust, stable, and scalable Equipment & Line Readiness • Work with Equipment Engineering to: • • Define tool requirements • • Improve reliability and uptime • • Implement process-driven upgrades • Lead tool qualification and process acceptance • Ensure equipment supports throughput, precision, and repeatability Hardware & Automation (Strong Plus) • Design or influence: • • Fixtures • • Handling systems • Assembly tooling Material Flow & Manufacturing System Design • Own flow from sheet → quad → final assembly • Reduce bottlenecks, WIP, and inefficiencies • Improve line balance and production scheduling alignment • Support layout and flow improvements as the system scales Quality, Control & Documentation • Partner with Quality to implement: • • SPC and process control • • Traceability and data capture • Build and  maintain : • • SOPs • • Process specs • • Control plans • Ensure manufacturing is data-driven and auditable Problem Solving & Continuous Improvement • Lead structured RCA on: • • Yield loss • • Defects • • Downtime • Implement sustainable fixes — not workarounds • Drive continuous improvement aligned to operational excellence principles (standard work, DMS, etc.) What We’re Looking For • 7–12+ years in manufacturing engineering (battery, semiconductor, thin-film, or similar) • Proven experience owning manufacturing processes on the floor • Strong  track record  of: • • Driving yield and throughput improvements • • Supporting or leading pilot → production scale-up • Hands-on mindset — comfortable working directly with: • • Equipment • • Technicians • • Operators Preferred Qualifications • Experience with: • • Laser processing or micromachining • • Precision assembly or micro-scale systems • • Automated material handling • Background in thin-film, semiconductor, or battery manufacturing • Experience with MES, traceability systems, or data-driven manufacturing Personal Attributes • Ownership mentality — sees problems through to resolution • Execution-focused — prioritizes results over theory • Systems  thinker — understands  interactions across  process , equipment, and flow • Low ego, high accountability — works across teams to get things done • Comfortable in a fast-moving, scaling environment Salary Range: $161,626.00-$197,833.00 The base salary range is specific to California. The salary of the final candidate selected for this role will be determined by a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, internal equity, experience, education, specialty, and training.
