What are the responsibilities and job description for the Process Engineer - Manufacturing Ramp position at Imagen Energy?
📍 Location: Milwaukee, WI (On-Site)
🏢 Company: Imagen Energy
⚡ Company Overview
Imagen Energy is engineering the future of ultra-compact, high-power EV charging. We combine the agility of a focused team with the resources of a global enterprise to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy. As we move from prototypes to large-scale production, we are building a next-generation manufacturing system — closer to an advanced automotive line than traditional electronics assembly.
👤 The Opportunity
We’re seeking a Process Engineer to architect and scale a highly automated, digitally enabled production line for our flagship charging platform. This is a hands-on role where you will define how cutting-edge power electronics are built, tested, and released — creating the backbone of our manufacturing ramp.
🛠 What You Will Do
- Design the Line: Define stations, flow, cycle times, and automation strategy for high-power modules and full-system assembly.
- Leverage Digital Twin: Use simulation and digital twin tools to model production flow, validate automation concepts, and de-risk bring-up before hardware arrives.
- Integrate Automation: Specify robotics, fixtures, torque/vision tools, leak & hipot tests, and in-line quality checks.
- Engineer for Quality: Lead PFMEA, control plans, DOE, SPC, and GR&R for robust processes. Develop work instructions and standard work.
- Enable Traceability: Deploy MES and data systems for full traceability and real-time visibility of yield and performance.
- Lead Ramp Activities: Partner with suppliers and integrators for FAT/SAT, validate run-at-rate, and ensure smooth production hand-off.
- Continuously Improve: Apply lean and Six Sigma to increase throughput, quality, and flexibility.
🎯 What You Bring
- 5–10 years in manufacturing or process engineering for automotive, EV, power electronics, or complex electro-mechanical systems.
- Proven success designing or scaling automated lines.
- Strong experience with PFMEA, SPC, DOE, and yield improvement.
- Hands-on background in automation, fixtures, test systems, and HV safety practices.
- Bonus: Experience with digital twin/line simulation, virtual commissioning, SiC power electronics, liquid cooling assemblies, Rockwell/Beckhoff, or cobots.
🚀 Why Join Us?
- Build from a blank slate: define the production system, not just inherit it.
- Work with digital twin, MES, and automation to create a modern, data-driven factory.
- See your work come alive on one of the most advanced charging platforms in the world.
- Be part of a focused, execution-driven team where your impact is immediate and visible.
- Shape not just the product — but how we manufacture, release, and scale it.
