Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s standard -from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features.\nEvery day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale.\nThe Role\nGeneral Motors is seeking a Process Engineer to support electrode manufacturing operations at the Wallace Battery Development Center. This role sits at the heart of GM's battery development efforts, directly contributing to the advancement of next-generation electric vehicle and energy storage technologies.\nBased in a pilot-scale battery development environment, you will play a key role in transforming emerging battery chemistries into scalable manufacturing processes. Your primary focus will be developing, optimizing, and executing electrode slurry mixing processes used in the production of advanced battery cells.\nWorking closely with product engineers, technicians, process engineers, quality teams, and manufacturing partners, you will help establish robust processes that enable future battery technologies to move from development into production.\nThe ideal candidate is passionate about advancing battery technology, enjoys solving complex technical challenges, and thrives in a highly collaborative environment where innovation and continuous learning are encouraged.\nWhat You'll Do\nDevelop and optimize electrode slurry mixing processes for advanced battery materials and next-generation battery technologies.\nCreate, maintain, and execute detailed mixing recipes, including chemical formulations, ingredient sequencing, processing parameters, temperatures, mixing speeds, and durations.\nExecute slurry mixing batches while ensuring adherence to defined process controls, quality standards, and safety requirements.\nPerform slurry characterization and testing, including viscosity analysis, solids content measurement, particle size distribution evaluation, and coating performance assessments.\nInvestigate process deviations, equipment issues, and quality concerns using structured problem-solving methodologies and implement effective corrective actions.\nCollaborate with product engineering, materials engineering, quality, operations, maintenance, and equipment engineering teams to optimize processes and support manufacturing scale-up activities.\nAnalyze chemical and material interactions to improve slurry performance, process stability, and manufacturing consistency.\nMaintain accurate process records, batch logs, technical documentation, and laboratory records in accordance with GM standards.\nSupport continuous improvement activities focused on yield, process capability, throughput, consistency, and quality.\nContribute to the development of process specifications, standard operating procedures (SOPs), control plans, and manufacturing best practices.\nSupport pilot-scale manufacturing activities and gain exposure to adjacent battery production processes as part of ongoing development efforts.\nYour Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)\nBachelor's degree or higher in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science, or a closely related technical field.\nThree or more years of hands-on process engineering experience in a laboratory, pilot plant, or manufacturing environment.\nDirect experience with slurry mixing, chemical formulation, industrial mixing, wet chemistry processes, or similar materials-processing operations.\nStrong understanding of chemical processing fundamentals, material interactions, and manufacturing process controls.\nExperience developing, documenting, and executing manufacturing processes, technical procedures, recipes, or standard operating procedures.\nDemonstrated problem-solving and root cause analysis experience utilizing structured methodologies such as 8D, DMAIC, A3, or equivalent approaches.\nStrong analytical and troubleshooting skills with the ability to resolve technical process challenges.\nAbility to work effectively within a highly collaborative, cross-functional environment.\nStrong written and verbal communication skills.\nWhat Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)\nExperience supporting lithium-ion battery development, battery cell manufacturing, or electrode manufacturing processes.\nKnowledge of battery materials, including cathode materials, anode materials, binders, solvents, conductive additives, and related chemistries.\nExperience with electrode slurry preparation, characterization, formulation development, or manufacturing process optimization.\nFamiliarity with pilot-scale manufacturing or process development environments.\nKnowledge of NMP-based and/or aqueous-based slurry systems.\nExperience with Design of Experiments (DOE), Statistical Process Control (SPC), and process optimization techniques.\nExperience within battery manufacturing, specialty chemicals, coatings, paint manufacturing, advanced materials, adhesives, or other formulation-based industries.\nDemonstrated curiosity, initiative, and passion for developing emerging technologies.\nExperience supporting the scale-up of new products or technologies from development to manufacturing environments.\nWhy Join This Team?\nWork at the forefront of battery innovation in a pilot-scale development environment.\nContribute to emerging battery technologies, including Lithium Manganese Rich (LMR) and sodium-ion battery platforms.\nHelp develop future battery solutions that support both electric vehicles and energy storage systems.\nCollaborate with technical experts across battery development, manufacturing, and product engineering.\nBuild expertise in one of the fastest growing and most strategically important areas of the automotive industry.\n\nGM does not provide immigration-related sponsorship for this
