Salary : $80,000 - $10,000 DOE

Princeton NuEnergy ("PNE") is a lithium-ion battery direct recycling and critical materials recovery innovator, founded out of Princeton University. At its core, PNE's patented recycling technology is based on a low-temperature plasma-assisted separation process (LPAS) that does not damage but, rather, reclaims and repairs cathode material from spent lithium-ion batteries and manufacturing scrap at half the cost with significantly lower waste when compared with existing traditional recycling processes.

We are seeking a skilled Process Engineer to join our dynamic team. The successful candidate will be responsible for operating, monitoring, and troubleshooting production equipment, developing and optimizing process procedures, and supporting the scale-up of battery recycling pilot processes. This role requires a strong background in chemical engineering, materials science, or mechanical equipment operation, excellent problem-solving skills, and the ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams.

WHAT WILL YOU BE WORKING ON?

• Operate, monitor, and troubleshoot production equipment (e.g., box furnaces, centrifuges, mixers) to ensure stable and safe operation.
• Participate in equipment installation, commissioning, startup, and routine maintenance activities.
• Develop and optimize standard operating procedures (SOPs) for production processes.
• Identify and resolve process bottlenecks to enhance throughput and product quality.
• Collaborate with R&D to scale up new recycling processes from lab to production.
• Maintain accurate production records, process logs, and performance reports.
• Support safety protocols, 5S practices, and continuous improvement initiatives.
