As our materials move from discovery toward scale, manufacturing systems must be designed not just for output, but for learning, reliability, and iteration. As Manufacturing Systems Engineer, you will design and build the systems, processes, and flows that allow Dunia’s materials platforms to scale from lab-level validation to repeatable, industrially relevant production. You will think in systems: processes, equipment, data, controls, and people. This role exists to ensure that scale does not break what makes Dunia so fast. Your tasks will include: Design scalable manufacturing systems Design end-to-end manufacturing processes for materials and devices transitioning out of R&DDefine process flows, equipment requirements, and throughput modelsEnsure systems are robust, repeatable, and designed for iterationBridge discovery and manufacturing Work closely with research, automation, and AI teams to translate experimental workflows into scalable processesIdentify where lab-scale assumptions break at higher throughputEnsure manufacturing constraints inform upstream discovery decisionsBuild manufacturing readiness Develop process documentation, control strategies, and quality frameworksSupport facility layout, equipment integration, and commissioningAnticipate scale-up risks and address them earlyEmbed data and learning into manufacturing Design systems that generate high-quality process and performance dataEnable feedback loops between manufacturing, experimentation, and AI modelsTreat manufacturing as a learning system, not a static endpointYour profileDegree in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering or a related field5+year's experience designing or scaling manufacturing or process systems in industrial or deep-tech environmentsStrong systems-level thinking across process, equipment, and dataExperience working across R&D and manufacturing boundariesComfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environmentsClear communicator with a bias toward execution and ownershipEnglish fluency; additional languages desirableAbout usDunia, meaning “world” in over 20 languages, reflects our focus on building technologies that deliver abundance globally. By combining physics, AI, and automation, we accelerate materials discovery for next-generation energy and industrial systems. Our work helps make energy more accessible and materials more affordable and resilient while reshaping how science moves from idea to impact.
