With over 750 experts from 48 different countries, our endeavor is to unite exceptional global talent to bring this ambitious and innovative project to life. Our strong and agile international team continues to grow and adapt to new challenges. Based in Grenoble and Dunkirk (France), we have recently started operations our Verkor Innovation Centre (R&D centre and 4.0 pilot line).

We now focus on building the world’s most modern and efficient Gigafactory in Dunkirk (France). With this facility, our ambition is an initial annual production of 16 Gwh of lithium-ion batteries by 2025, thus powering 300,000 electric vehicles annually.

In joining us you will actively participate in this breathtaking industrial adventure to shape the future of European mobility.

The Electrode Industrialization Engineer will be entrusted with the ownership of the electrode design and its integration within product/process teams. This role involves steering the design from its end of pilot line stage ( B Samples) to mass production stage (C & D Samples) ensuring a thorough validation and review of the design’s performance and manufacturability at each stage with the relevant stakeholders.

The engineer will possess the ability to identify and mitigate potential risks associated with the design and manufacturing process during each phase of scale-up. As the Electrode Industrialization Engineer, the engineer will oversee all cell projects within the Gigafactory, ensuring its successful execution and implementation. This role requires a deep understanding of electrode manufacturing processes, a keen eye for detail, and strong communication skills in a multicultural environment.
