Job Description

We connect science to life for a better future.


LG Chem will become a world-class corporation that creates new value for our customers based on science beyond chemistry.

Job Summary (Basic Functions): LG Chem Advance Materials Inc. (LGCTA) is actively searching for a Powder Process Engineer will be an individual contributor reporting to the Production Manager and work alongside our Powder Solutions team.

The Powder Process Engineer will deal with stabilization of powder flowability issues in pre- and post-processing and improve process loss by managing the bag filter efficiency and issues for our new cathode material manufacturing plant in Clarksville Tennessee.

The Powder Process Engineer will report to the Powder Solutions Team Manager and is a member of our powder solutions team serving as a core engineer and technical resource to optimize the installation parameters and process parameters in commissioning test observe the load cells calibration perform the DOE(Design Of Experiment) and analyze the capability of the process. The Powder Process Engineer will also resolve the issues related to powder flowability such as weighing transfer mixing and milling process and verify the improvement actions and monitor the result of improvement. Also Powder Process Engineer will minimize the process loss by managing the bag filter issues according to standards and deal with the audit challenge of customer.
This role will serve as a powder process expert establish the standard & regulation train and distribute standards & regulations to workers and work with related department on day-to-day issues. The Powder Process Engineer will develop a sound understanding of the plants equipment & process and an understanding of analysis results of powder flowability properties.

The Powder Process Engineer is a vital member of our powder solutions team and will support special projects related to process improvement process loss reduction and new product introduction.

This position is based full time in Clarksville TN and is not a remote role.



What Youll Be Doing

Essential Functions (include but are not limited to):

New Factory Early Stabilization:

  • During the new installation phase inspect the process equipment conditions and installation parameters related to flowability parameters & bag filter and match up the conditions with P&ID document parameter check list and recipe.
