MANAGER

Position and purpose

Manufacturing process engineering

• Develop end-to-end processes for BESS container assembly and prepare process flows, layouts, SOPs, work instructions, and process control plans.
• Define assembly sequences, manpower requirements, cycle and takt times, line balancing, and workstation design.
• Develop processes for container enclosures, battery racks and modules, PCS, HVAC, fire systems, electrical panels and cabling, busbars, BMS/EMS, auxiliaries, testing, and commissioning.
• Ensure processes comply with approved engineering drawings and specifications.

New product introduction

• Lead manufacturing engineering for new BESS container models and review product designs from a DFMA perspective.
• Participate in design and manufacturability reviews and prototype builds.
• Identify manufacturing risks before launch and develop prototype-to-production transition plans.
• Establish processes and documentation for pilot and mass production.

Production engineering and productivity

• Analyze bottlenecks, process losses, and productivity opportunities; establish and monitor standard cycle and takt times.
• Optimize manpower and workstation allocation, drive line balancing and capacity improvements, and reduce assembly time, rework, material movement, and cost.
• Implement Lean Manufacturing, Kaizen, 5S, VSM, Poka-Yoke, and continuous-improvement practices.

Tooling and equipment

• Define needs for tools, fixtures, jigs, lifting equipment, test equipment, and special-purpose machines.
• Develop equipment specifications and coordinate vendor design, trials, installation, and commissioning.
• Ensure tools and fixtures are ergonomic and suitable for BESS container production; coordinate preventive maintenance requirements with Maintenance.

Quality and integration

• Work with Quality Engineering on process controls and maintain PFMEA, control plans, SOPs, process flows, inspection standards, check sheets, and error-proofing mechanisms.
• Use 5 Why, Fishbone, 8D, and other problem-solving techniques to investigate process defects and reduce rework, rejection, and customer complaints.
• Establish processes for battery modules and racks, HV/LV systems, busbars, DC and AC cables, PCS, BMS, EMS, HVAC, fire systems, earthing, and communications.
• Control electrical isolation, torqueing, insulation, cable routing, connector assembly, and labeling; coordinate resolution of assembly and manufacturability issues with Engineering.

Capacity planning and safety

• Conduct capacity studies and calculate manpower, equipment, space, and production capacity requirements.
• Develop production layouts, prepare Man-Machine-Material analysis, and support budgeting and CAPEX proposals for expansion.
• Ensure manufacturing processes comply with applicable EHS requirements.

Requirements

• Develop, industrialize, and continuously improve processes for BESS container assembly and integration.
• Ensure processes meet safety, efficiency, scalability, cost, quality, productivity, and delivery targets.
• Work with Design, NPD, Production, Quality, Supply Chain, EHS, Maintenance, and Project teams to transition products from design to mass production.
• Develop process documentation, including process flows, layouts, SOPs, work instructions, and process control plans.
• Apply continuous-improvement methods including Lean Manufacturing, Kaizen, 5S, VSM, and Poka-Yoke.
• Use root-cause analysis methods such as 5 Why, Fishbone, and 8D to address process defects.
• Plan manufacturing capacity, manpower, equipment, space, layouts, and expansion requirements.
