Cell Assembly Technician, Z-Stacker

Hands-on, on-site Tallahassee, FL (on-site) - Full-time - Hourly paid, plus overtime paid at time and a half. Relocation assistance. We build lithium-metal pouch cells aimed at 600-800 Wh/kg. We stack our cells on a semi-automatic Z-stacker that runs inside a glove box, and we need the person who runs that stacker. This is a hands-on technician seat: you set up the machine, stack the cell, then weld, seal, and fill it. You’ll work under the direction of our Principal Engineer (30+ years in cells). You’ll do the work, not direct it. What you’ll do - the stacker Run our semi-automatic Z-stacker inside the glove box. Thread the separator, set tension and alignment, place the electrodes, and build every stack to the layer count - square, clean, and the same each time. Keep the machine right. Setups, changeovers, cleaning, small adjustments. You clear the jams and misfeeds yourself, and you catch drift before it turns into scrap. Finish the cell. Weld the tabs, seal the pouch, add the electrolyte, and make the final vacuum seal. Write it down the same day, in Teams: settings, photos, counts, problems. Not in Teams = it didn’t happen. What you must bring - the gate 3-5 years running a Z-stacker on pouch cells, with your hands on the machine - not watching it, and not supervising the people who ran it. Semi-automatic or manual stacker experience is best. You can tell us how you set separator tension, how you held alignment, and what you did the day a stack came out crooked. Hands-on tab welding, pouch sealing, and electrolyte filling. All three, done yourself. The stacker comes first. Steady hands in a glove box, hours at a stretch. Experience is a strong plus; dry-room stackers are welcome. No degree required. This is a technician seat. A high school diploma or GED and the right hands are enough. A small-team attitude. The stacker is your main job, not your only one - you help wherever the build needs hands. Some weeks run long, and a Saturday build is traded for a weekday off. Authorized to work in the United States. We’re unable to sponsor employment visas for this position, now or in the future. Able to relocate to Tallahassee, Florida. This is not the seat if you have only wound cells and never run a Z-stacker; you engineered or supervised a stacking line but did not run it; or you want an engineering, research, or management role. Stock options and relocation assistance. 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision for you and your family; 17 days of PTO. Florida has no state income tax. A small team where the CEO is in the lab and your stack is the company’s cell. #J-18808-Ljbffr Mapt by Battery Nexus
