Process Engineer-New Product Introduction (NPI)
About The Position
As a Process Engineer on our New Product Introduction (NPI) team, you’ll be at the forefront of transforming advanced manufacturing concepts into real-world products and solutions. Your role will be to design and scale processes that bridge the gap between prototype and production, ensuring high-volume manufacturability, validating first articles, and enabling the successful launch of products across EV, energy storage, and aerospace industries. This is more than engineering; it’s turning bold ideas into manufacturable realities that accelerate the future of power and data transmission. These openings are for Level 4-5 engineers
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Materials Science, Physics, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or related field.
- 5-7+ years of hands-on professional experience
- Proven experience scaling processes from prototype to production.
- Strong background in process design for manufacturability, yield improvement, and cost reduction.
- Experience with prototype builds, first article validation, and technical collaboration.
- Prior manufacturing start-up experience.
- Familiarity with advanced materials and high-volume manufacturing methods (e.g., vacuum lamination, thermally-activated adhesives, roll-to-roll processing, material patterning, laser welding)
- Solid background in statistical methods, data visualization, systematic experiment design, and related software (e.g. JMP, Minitab, etc.)
- Ability to synthesize and interpret complex data sets to understand physical phenomena and support data-driven decisions.
- Ability to safely and confidently operate and troubleshoot custom manufacturing and metrology equipment.
- Independent problem solver with a desire to learn new skills and new technology.
- Strong organization skills and a detail-oriented mindset.
- Able to adapt to changing requirements in a fast-paced start-up setting.
- Strong communicator and collaborator, energized by working across functions to bring products to market.
Responsibilities
- Scale innovative processes from prototype to high-volume manufacturing, driving yield, throughput, and manufacturability
- Design, implement, and validate manufacturing processes that ensure product scalability, quality, and reliability
- Build and qualify first articles while establishing process readiness for customer and internal validation
- Partner with customer-facing teams and cross-functional engineering groups to prove out product viability and readiness for commercialization
- Identify product development needs and act as a conduit for aligning process roadmaps with customer requirements and future technologies
- Conduct structured experiments and root cause analysis to de-risk manufacturing scale-up and accelerate product launches
- Work hands-on with high-volume manufacturing and R&D equipment
- Develop process documentation and train staff to ensure smooth handoff from NPI into sustained high-volume production
Benefits
- At CelLink, we believe that each employee should have the opportunity to become a CelLink shareholder through participation in CelLink's discretionary employee stock option plan.
- You'll also receive comprehensive medical and dental coverage and other great benefits.
