Overview

The Senior Aluminum Brazing Engineer will lead the development and launch of a new aluminum brazing process for electric vehicle battery cooling plates, overseeing the industrialization of the continuous-belt Controlled Atmosphere Brazing (CAB) process within a tight timeline. This role involves defining manufacturing processes, selecting equipment, and ensuring the production line meets quality and throughput requirements.

Responsibilities

• Lead the development, installation, and commissioning of a new continuous-belt Controlled Atmosphere Brazing (CAB) production line for high-volume manufacturing.
• Develop and optimize brazing process parameters, including flux selection, furnace thermal profiles, braze paste application, and assembly methods for clad aluminum plates and internal fins.
• Define equipment specifications and manufacturing requirements to meet production throughput, quality, and reliability targets.
• Manage capital equipment acquisition, including Capital Expenditure Requests (CERs), vendor selection, procurement, and equipment acceptance.
• Establish process controls to ensure consistent brazing quality, including leak prevention, corrosion resistance, and component flatness.
• Coordinate with Dielectric Coating Engineers to ensure compatibility between brazing and downstream coating processes.
• Define manufacturing process controls, inspection requirements, and quality documentation required to bring the new brazing line into production.
• Develop and document standard operating procedures and process parameters for production operators.
• Troubleshoot brazing defects and production issues, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions.
• Monitor production performance and drive improvements in yield, scrap rates, cycle times, and equipment uptime.
• Qualify the brazing process through production trials and verify that the line consistently meets product quality and throughput requirements.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience with Controlled Atmosphere Brazing (CAB) and continuous belt furnace operations.
• Practical understanding of aluminum brazing principles, including clad materials, fluxes, and filler application.
• 3+ years of hands-on mechanical or manufacturing design experience in a production setting.
• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering, or similar.
