About Ensurge Micropower 

Ensurge Micropower (OSE: ENSU) is a pioneer in solid-state microbattery 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:
Ensurge is 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 about process — it is about delivering manufacturing results. 

You will be responsible for:

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

This is a high-impact, hands-on role at the center of Ensurge’s transition from technology demonstration to product delivery. 

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  

• • Ensure processes 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  

• Improve line balance and production scheduling alignment  

• Support layout and flow improvements as the system scales  

Quality, Control & Documentation 

• Partner with Quality to implement:  

• • SPC and process control  

• • Traceability and data capture  

• Build and maintain:  

• • 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.)  

What We’re Looking For 

• 7–12+ years in manufacturing engineering (battery, semiconductor, thin-film, or similar)  

• Proven experience owning manufacturing processes on the floor  

• Strong track record of:  

• • 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  

• Systems thinker — understands interactions across process, equipment, and flow  

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

• Comfortable in a fast-moving, scaling environment  

Salary Range:
$161,626.00-$197,833.00

The base salary range is specific to California. The salary of the final candidate selected for this role will be determined by a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, internal equity, experience, education, specialty, and training.
