Job Purpose
As a Laser Welding Technician, you will perform hands-on production laser welding of Li-Ion battery Modules using an automated laser welding system. You will report to the Team Leader and the Welding Engineering Manager and will work closely with LV and HV build technicians, and testing and battery systems engineers.

Key Responsibilities:

• Daily autonomous checks of the laser welding system. Performing laser power measurements using a Primes calorimeter, and cleaning / replacement of precision optical components on the galvanometric welding head.
• Preparing Modules and loading Modules into the laser welding system, paying close attention to Module build quality and liaising with the Quality department to resolve build issues.
• Operating a 4 axis CNC laser welding machine and carrying out manual intervention on the CNC system as and when required. Visual inspection of weld geometry and locations during the automated cycle.
• Fixture setup and optimisation of weld paths.
• Working to and assisting in the development of Standard Operating Procedures.
