AboutEnsurgeMicropower

EnsurgeMicropower (OSE: ENSU) is a pioneer in solid-statemicrobattery technology, enabling the next generation of intelligent, connected devices. Leveraging proprietary thin-film and roll-to-roll manufacturing,Ensurge delivers safe, high-energy-density batteries for wearables, health tech, industrial sensing, and defense applications. As our technology transitions from development to production, disciplined manufacturing execution becomes the differentiator.

Role Overview:
Ensurgeis seeking a Senior Manufacturing Engineer (IC) to own and scale the Assembly, Laser, and Material Handling processes from pilot through early production.

This role is not just aboutprocess it is about delivering manufacturing results.

You willbe responsible for:

• Turning engineering processes into production-capable systems
• Driving output, yield, and stability on the line
• Building the infrastructure (process, equipment, flow, documentation)requiredfor repeatable execution

This is a high-impact, hands-on role at the center ofEnsurgestransition from technology demonstration to productdelivery.

Key Responsibilities

Manufacturing Ownership & Output

• Own daily manufacturing performance for the Assembly, Laser, and Material Handling areas

• Drive output, yield, uptime, and cycle time

• Support production directly troubleshooting issues in real time

• Partner with Operations to ensure line execution meets plan

Process to Production Conversion

• Convert R&D processes into repeatable, production-ready workflows

• Define and lock:

• • Process flows

• • Critical parameters (CPPs)

• • Control limits and OCAPs

• • Ensureprocesses are robust, stable, and scalable

Equipment & Line Readiness

• Work with Equipment Engineering to:

• • Define tool requirements

• • Improve reliability and uptime

• • Implement process-driven upgrades

• Lead tool qualification and process acceptance

• Ensure equipment supports throughput, precision, and repeatability

Hardware & Automation (Strong Plus)

• Design or influence:

• • Fixtures

• • Handling systems
  • Assembly tooling

Material Flow & Manufacturing System Design

• Own flow from sheet quad final assembly

• Reduce bottlenecks, WIP, and inefficiencies

• • SPC and process control

• • Traceability and data capture

• Build andmaintain:

• • SOPs

• • Process specs

• • Control plans

• Ensure manufacturing is data-driven and auditable

Problem Solving & Continuous Improvement

• Lead structured RCA on:

• • Yield loss

• • Defects

• • Downtime

• Implement sustainable fixes not workarounds

• Drive continuous improvement aligned to operational excellence principles (standard work, DMS, etc.)

WhatWereLooking For

• 712+ years in manufacturing engineering (battery, semiconductor, thin-film, or similar)

• Proven experience owning manufacturing processes on the floor

• Strongtrack recordof:

• • Driving yield and throughput improvements

• • Supporting or leading pilot production scale-up

• Hands-on mindset comfortable working directly with:

• • Equipment

• • Technicians

• • Operators

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with:

• • Laser processing or micromachining

• • Precision assembly or micro-scale systems

• • Automated material handling

• Background in thin-film, semiconductor, or battery manufacturing

• Experience with MES, traceability systems, or data-driven manufacturing

Personal Attributes

• Ownership mentality sees problems through to resolution

• Execution-focused prioritizes results over theory

• Systemsthinker understandsinteractions acrossprocess, equipment, and flow

• Low ego, high accountability works across teams to get things done

• Comfortable in a fast-moving, scaling environment
