The posting

Position Summary

Forge Nano is seeking an experienced Pack Manufacturing Engineer to lead the development, implementation, and scale-up of our in-house battery pack manufacturing capabilities. Reporting to the EVP of Energy Storage, this highly hands-on role will serve as the technical manufacturing lead responsible for transforming battery pack designs into safe, repeatable, and scalable production processes.

The Pack Manufacturing Engineer will work directly on the manufacturing floor to establish assembly methods, tooling, fixtures, quality controls, inspection processes, testing protocols, and manufacturing documentation required to support battery pack production. This individual will partner closely with Engineering, Quality, EHS, Program Management, and Manufacturing teams to ensure operational excellence, product quality, and compliance with applicable standards.

In addition to building manufacturing processes, the successful candidate will serve as a mentor and technical leader for battery pack assembly technicians, helping develop workforce capabilities and reinforcing a culture of safety, quality, and continuous improvement. This role is ideal for someone with extensive hands-on battery manufacturing experience who enjoys solving production challenges and developing high-performing teams.

Responsibilities

Battery Pack Manufacturing & Process Development

· Lead the implementation and scale-up of battery pack assembly operations at Forge Nano.

· Translate battery pack designs, specifications, drawings, and bills of material into robust manufacturing processes.

· Develop assembly sequences for battery cells, modules, busbars, wiring harnesses, BMS components, thermal management systems, enclosures, adhesives, insulation materials, fasteners, and related hardware.

· Establish manufacturing methods for fastening, adhesive application, electrical interconnections, welding processes, battery management system integration, pack closure, and final testing.

· Identify, specify, and support procurement of manufacturing equipment, fixtures, tooling, gauges, safety equipment, and test systems.

· Support pilot builds and transition prototype assembly processes into repeatable low-volume production operations.

· Lead manufacturing readiness activities for new battery pack designs and production launches.

Production Operations & Continuous Improvement

· Personally participate in battery pack builds and demonstrate best-practice assembly methods to production personnel.

· Identify potential manufacturing risks and develop mitigation plans before production builds begin.

· Troubleshoot manufacturing issues and drive structured root cause analysis and corrective action activities.

· Participate in Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) reviews, providing practical production-focused feedback to engineering teams.

· Partner with suppliers and external manufacturing partners to transfer battery pack manufacturing knowledge and best practices into Forge Nano operations.

· Convert project objectives into actionable manufacturing plans, schedules, milestones, and deliverables in collaboration with Program and Project Managers.

Quality Systems & Compliance

· Establish in-process inspections, acceptance criteria, traceability requirements, and manufacturing control plans.

· Partner closely with the Quality Management System (QMS) team to develop manufacturing documentation, process controls, and quality standards.

· Support process validation activities, manufacturing readiness reviews, and quality improvement initiatives.

· Ensure manufacturing processes meet internal quality standards and applicable customer, industry, and regulatory requirements.

· Maintain detailed process documentation, work instructions, inspection procedures, and manufacturing records.

Technical Leadership & Team Development

· Serve as the primary technical resource for battery pack assembly technicians.

· Train and mentor technicians on assembly processes, tooling, equipment operation, workmanship standards, inspection requirements, and manufacturing best practices.

· Develop clear, practical, and scalable work instructions that support consistent execution across varying experience levels.

· Provide daily technical guidance and hands-on coaching to support workforce development and operational excellence.

· Help build and sustain a disciplined manufacturing culture focused on safety, quality, and continuous improvement.

Safety & Environmental Compliance

· Establish safe manufacturing practices for high-energy lithium-ion battery systems.

· Complete required training and safely work with systems operating at voltages up to 1,500 volts.

· Ensure appropriate controls are implemented for electrical hazards, energized work, short-circuit prevention, lifting operations, chemical handling, and battery assembly activities.

· Partner with Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) and Quality teams to develop Job Safety Analyses (JSAs), procedures, PPE requirements, and emergency response protocols.

· Promote safe behaviors through hands-on leadership and daily production activities.

The following responsibilities represent the primary duties of this role and are not intended to be an exhaustive list.
