Operator 19+ MARSHALL

Production Operator

This role focuses on safely unpackaging battery cell components from automated guided vehicles, loading them onto computerized conveyor systems, and supporting a consistent flow of materials into the assembly process. You will perform repetitive yet precise tasks in a clean, climate-controlled environment, ensuring that all parts meet quality standards while following established procedures and safety protocols.

Responsibilities:

• Unpackage battery cell components from automated guided vehicles (AGVs), including items such as aluminum cans, top caps, Mylar wrapping, connectors, and other materials, and load them onto conveyor systems.
• Place components on the conveyor system, operate the controls (including the start or "go" function), and ensure materials move accurately and efficiently to the downstream assembly area.
• Safely operate and monitor computerized automated conveyors in the battery material unpacking room to maintain a consistent production flow.
• Repack parts from supplier-provided containers into designated production containers and load these materials into the automated conveyor system.
• Perform light assembly tasks as needed while unpackaging and preparing materials for the assembly process.
• Conduct thorough visual inspections of raw materials to confirm they meet quality standards, and promptly identify, isolate, and report any defects.
• Follow Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), work instructions, and established operating guidelines to maintain production consistency and safety.
• Assist with training new production operators by demonstrating correct processes and reinforcing SOPs and best practices.
• Perform basic troubleshooting on automated conveyors, identify issues or malfunctions, and report them to maintenance personnel for resolution.
• Record production data accurately, monitor key performance indicators (KPIs), and report any discrepancies or abnormalities to supervisors.
• Collect and analyze data, inspect products and processes, conduct basic tests, assist with research and development activities, and document results.
• Adhere to all safety protocols and procedures at all times, including the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety shoes and safety vests.
• Complete daily cleaning tasks and support 5S activities (sort, set in order, shine, standardize, sustain) to maintain a safe, clean, and orderly work area.
• Collaborate closely with other team members to support continuous improvement, efficient production, and a positive team environment.
• Perform additional duties and tasks as assigned by leadership to support production and operational goals.
