What you’ll work on
Batene develops next-generation battery technologies that rely on stable, scalable, and precisely controlled manufacturing processes. Our electrode and cell technologies require a deep understanding of materials, process parameters, and quality mechanisms, from laboratory scale through pilot scale.
We are looking for team members who enjoy analysis, optimization, and technical development. People who systematically challenge processes, define standards, and actively shape new manufacturing steps. If you like structuring complex workflows, making quality measurable, and building innovative production processes, Batene is the right place for you.
Your responsibilities- Development, optimization, and stabilization of manufacturing processes for electrode and cell technologies
- Analysis of existing processes, identification of weaknesses, and derivation of improvement measures, including FMEA
- Development and implementation of new quality analyses and measurement methods
- Execution of root-cause analyses and derivation of sustainable corrective actions
- Evaluation and design of scale-up steps from laboratory to pilot scale
- Establishment of clear standards, process documentation, and work instructions
- Close collaboration with electrode development, cell testing, production, and external partners
- Support in the technical planning of new equipment and process steps
What to expect at Batene
A growing environment: At Batene, building new things and continuous learning are part of everyday work. You will have the freedom to take ownership, shape your role, and grow alongside the company.
Clear communication and real responsibility:
We work with flat hierarchies and direct communication. Ideas are discussed openly, decisions are made pragmatically, and responsibility sits close to implementation.
