Chemical Process Engineer - Batteries

Join us and be a pioneer for a green transport revolution.
Automotive Cells Company (ACC) is one of Europe’s newest and most exciting high-tech companies. Backed by Saft-Total, Stellantis-Opel and Mercedes-Benz, ACC is set to power the future of the automotive industry by innovating in battery technology.
 
We aim to produce sustainable, affordable, high-capacity, longer-life batteries as a cleaner alternative to current energy sources. We have created an R&D center and new state-of-the art facility in France (New Aquitaine), and we are building gigafactories in Hauts de France, Germany and Italy.

We need a range of skilled and agile people to bring our vision to life, especially in the areas of industrialization, mechanical design, testing/prototyping and any other function of a new-born company. If you’re looking to take your career further than you imagined, if you’re passionate about creating cleaner transport, we’d like to hear from you.

Accelerating sustainable mobility for all.

• To work with the Pre-project team, on sizing the factory, depending on products/volumes to be produced.

• To write the technical specifications to make the best technical choice for equipment

•  To take part in the Design of Equipment, with the central Industrial team.

• To assist Equipment Suppliers during the installation & ramp-up of manufacturing plants.

• To know about the most impacting parameters on the process (or put in place the Design of the Experiment to define them).

• To put in place and follow Indicators (technical losses, Overall Equipment Efficiency,…) on Chemical equipment, and ensure it is at Target.

• To propose improvements to reach specifications or to be more stable (better yield)
  in case of deviation, participate on Problem Solving.

• To identify any risk in terms of cost, quality, … in case of new product to be manufactured and anticipate these risks on the equipment itself and adapt process accordingly.

• To agree with the R&D team and Industrial team from the central team, process parameters to be applied on equipment, in case of new products are to be deployed on Mass Production.
