Blue Current is seeking a hands-on Technician to support the production of battery materials and assembly of high-performance battery cells. The ideal candidate has practical experience in technical or manufacturing environments and is comfortable working with precision processes, equipment, and documentation. Reporting to the Senior Manager, Pilot Line, the Technician will execute fabrication steps, operate pilot-scale equipment with guidance, assist in material characterization, follow established workflows, and contribute to safe and efficient lab operations in a fast-paced development setting.
The technician will independently perform routine battery manufacturing tasks and assist with more complex processes under the supervision of senior technicians or engineers. You will operate gloveboxes and pilot equipment, document work accurately, and support quality and safety standards.
This role is ideal for someone with foundational experience who is ready to take on more responsibility, grow technical capabilities, and deepen their understanding of solid-state battery processes.
• Experience with battery or electronics fabrication processes is a plus (powder/slurry mixing, coating (roll-to-roll, slot-die or equivalent), assembly, stacking, ultrasonic welding, etc.)
• Experience with simple analytical tools (microscopy, thickness gauges, viscometers)
• Experience working in a clean room or chemical laboratory environment
• Coursework or interest in chemistry, materials science, chemical engineering, or related fields.
• Understanding of glovebox or dry room environments.
• Ability to perform precise manual tasks while standing at a glovebox for extended periods (up to 8 hours per day)
• Must possess the fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination required to manipulate tools and materials through integrated gloves/sleeves.
• Ability to maintain a standing or slightly leaned position for long durations, including reaching and extending arms within the glovebox environment.
• Ability to lift, carry, and maneuver equipment or materials weighing up to 25 lbs occasionally
• Work is performed in a laboratory or dry room environment.
• Core hours are adaptable, though increased availability may be required during peak periods.
