Sr Polymers Materials Engineer - Cell Components
The The cell materialsteam is looking for an engineer to lead polymers and plastic materialsdevelopment for the various mechanical parts in our Li-ion battery cells.
Thisbroadly includes seals/gaskets, insulators, dielectric tapes and adhesives,etc.
This is a highly cross-functional role and will require working withstakeholders across various teams and locations in cell development (mechanicaldesign, product, manufacturing, etc.
), supply chain and the broader materialsengineering teams.
Ownership of polymer materials and processes to meet the functional and manufacturing requirements of Tesla's cell mechanical parts.
Collaborate with ourmechanical design engineers to select and validate the appropriate polymermaterials for the target application & design.
Implement standard testsand/or develop boutique tests to characterize unique materials requirements(e.
g.
, electrochemical compatibility, permeability, stress-relaxation, etc.
) Develop and maintainrelationships with the raw material suppliers and part manufacturers in orderto guide materials development for existing and future needs.
Requirements Degree in Materials Science, Polymer Science, Chemical Engineering or related field Experience with polymers as related to a part's functionality and Design for Manufacturability Experience with injection molding processes and tooling Familiarity with common mechanical testing methods (e.
g.
, tensile, DMA, etc.
)and characterization tools (e.
g.
, SEM, FTIR, DSC etc.
) Comfortable tackling open-ended problems and developing non-standard test methods General familiarity with Li-ion cell and electrochemistry is a plus Strong communication and project management skills.
Recommended Skills Chemical Engineering Communication Design For Manufacturability (Industrial Design) Manufacturing Project Management Supply Chain Management Estimated Salary: $20 to $28 per hour based on qualifications.
