Job Description:
Supernal is at the forefront of creating emerging mobility
solutions that will foster the development of human-centered
cities. We are designing a completely new electric vertical
take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft tailored to the mobility
needs of future cities. This allows passengers a seamless
intermodal journey that safely transports them to their final
destination. We fuse research in autonomy, robotics, aviation and
services to define a new category of mobility for the world's
communities. We believe in creative thinking and collaboration to
help build a better mobility experience for everyone, improving
people's ability to move - whether for work or play. What we do:
The Cell Engineering Manager will focus on developing the cell
engineering team for Energy Storage Systems (ESS). The primary
responsibility of this role will be to build our labs and other
testing capabilities to qualify internal and external cell programs
for use in various aircraft. Additionally, the Cell Engineering
Manager will be tasked with building our data science, cell
testing, and algorithms team to create a complete value chain for
cell engineering. Finally, they will provide leadership and
management to a group of cell test engineers and equipment
engineers. Supernal provides an inviting open-space workplace
