Lead - Manufacturing

You’ll be part of the Process Engineering team. 

This team runs on coffee, line layouts, and work instructions, and lives for the challenge of figuring out how to produce and validate the e^pack, e^pump, e^port, and e^plug.
 

Our philosophy: Break. Believe. Build

Break stuff. Break assumptions. Break the thumb rule.
Believe in the team. Believe in the process. Believe through failures.
Build fast. Build passionately. Build to simplify.

What you will do:

As the Lead - Manufacturing, you will own and drive all decisions around manufacturing and scale and implementing them on the production line and proving the production processes to deliver scalable production of various Exponent products.

Responsibillities:

• Own make vs buy decision making for all products that are part of the Exponent energy stack
• Drive DFX based feedback, specifically on DFA and DFM for all make parts as well as provide interaction DFA/DFM for buy parts.
• Establish AICTQs for all make parts/sub-assemblies
• Own PFMEA and establish the correct process parameter design parameter correlations to establish a control plan
• Develop manufacturing strategy and design lines, stations and operating procedures for each product in the exponent stack to deliver QCD targets
• Establish vendor relations, prove out line and station concepts and establish standard production lines including proving them out to established benchmarks

The ideal candidate requires:

• 10 years of manufacturing engineering experience
• Knowledge of automotive assembly processes and systematic problem-solving tools such as FMEAs, DoEs

About Us

Exponent simplifies energy for EVs.

Co-founded by Arun Vinayak (Ather Energy's Founding Partner & Former Chief Product Officer) and Sanjay Byalal (Former hardware strategic sourcing and cell strategy lead, Ather and Former Supply Chain Lead, HUL)
We focus on solving two sides of the energy problem by building our E-Pump (charging station) and E-Pack (battery pack) which together unlock 15-min rapid charging.
The 150+ strong team of passionate builders have a ton of EV experience and are currently looking for more builders to join one of the best EV teams in India to build & scale Exponent.
