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

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
