We use experimentation and problem solving skills to qualify the design, and development of prismatic lithium – ion cells. We analyze manufacturing procedures and look at options and feasibility by qualifying machine settings and work procedures for manufacturing of the products with various tooling, using drawings and existing instructions. Then we detail specifications and parameters for specific products. Buying equipment for projects and designing manufacturing aids is also part of this job. Familiar with Prismatic lithium – ion batteries from implantable 0.05 Amp /Hr to the world’s largest lithium – ion cells 350+ Amp/Hr. Writing engineering blueprint changes and ongoing changes to work processes and procedures. I have experience with Maccor charging units, laser welders, ultrasonic welders, TIG / Plasma welders and various machine shop equipment. Also state of the art automated product assembly equipment. Past achievements I helped with the initial prototype of our 350 Amp/Hr cell by personally stacking and evaluating the processes for the first 11 cells and provided assistance to manufacturing throughout the production build. I also built the second generation 0.05 Amp/Hr. cell. These were prototype human implantable cells that are now in production. I have taught manufacturing employees how to bag, stack, weld and assemble both of these cells at every level including electrolyte filling and welding fill ports. I was also responsible for conception, building and assembling of new simplified filling station for a huge savings with more reliable and faster multiple fill times. Developed tested and wrote procedures for laser welding during experiments with laser pulse shaping for welding of aluminum and other metals. I’ve also assisted on the Mars rovers and the recent Mars space lab batteries. My last endeavors were doing advanced experiments looking at new chemistry for improvement of capacity and cycling performance in lithium-ion cells. (Layoff)
