About Us We are Sila, a next-generation battery materials company. Our mission is to power the world’s transition to clean energy. To create this future, our team is building a better lithium-ion battery from the inside out today. We engineer and manufacture ground-breaking battery materials that significantly increase the energy density of batteries, while reducing their size and weight. The result? Smaller more powerful batteries that can unlock innovation in consumer devices and accelerate the mass adoption of electric cars to eliminate our dependence on fossil fuels. We're tackling one of the biggest challenges of our time every day, and together we're redefining what's possible. Are you ready to be a part of a team committed to changing the world? Who You Are As a Customer Quality Engineer on the Corporate Quality team you will help create the next generation of battery materials by owning the customer-facing quality relationship for the company's product line. This role is the primary quality interface to our customers — managing qualification, complaint resolution, and ongoing performance — and is accountable for translating customer requirements into internal quality commitments that the manufacturing organization can execute against. You are someone who can effectively manage multiple responsibilities, are self-motivated and can work autonomously with minimal guidance. You are comfortable with ambiguity and eager to create structure. You have excellent verbal and written communication skills and are able to collaboratively solve problems and set others up for success. Responsibilities and Duties Serve as the primary quality point of contact for customers, managing the relationship through qualification, launch, and steady-state production. Lead PPAP/APQP submissions and approvals for new customer programs and specification/process changes. Coordinate cross-functionally with Manufacturing, R&D, and Plant Quality to ensure submissions meet customer requirements. Own customer-specific requirements as assigned — interpreting, documenting, and ensuring they are correctly flowed down into internal specifications, control plans, and the QMS. Lead customer complaint and RMA investigations. Coordinate 8D problem solving including containment, root cause analysis (5-Why, fault tree analysis, fishbone), corrective/preventive action, and customer-facing communication and closure. Represent quality in customer program reviews and host/facilitate audits, and quality business reviews (QBRs). Prepare performance data (PPM, scorecards, corrective action status) for customer-facing reporting. Partner with plant manufacturing quality (including QC/analytics lab) to translate customer requirements and findings into containment and corrective/preventive actions, and escalate issues that require engineering, supplier, or product-level resolution. Maintain and continuously improve customer quality documentation and processes in alignment with ISO/IATF and APQP/PPAP requirements. Track and report customer quality performance trends; identify systemic issues and coordinate preventive action ahead of customer escalation. Knowledge and Skill Requirements Minimum of 12 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree; or 8 years and a Master’s degree; or a PhD with 5 years experience; or equivalent experience. Experience with battery materials, powder or particle-based products, or closely related chemical/materials manufacturing. Demonstrated experience owning customer quality relationships, including PPAP/APQP submissions, CSR management, and complaint/RMA resolution. Strong knowledge of IATF 16949 (or equivalent automotive/high-reliability QMS standards) and core quality tools: FMEA, control plans, 8D, SPC, MSA. Strong cross-functional collaboration skills; ability to operate effectively across a governance/execution boundary with plant-based quality and manufacturing teams. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including direct experience presenting to customers in QBR or audit settings. Physical Demands and Working Conditions Operate a computer and other office equipment, such as a laptop, copier/printer, etc in a fixed location The starting base pay for this role is between $156,000 and $197,000 at the time of posting.

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.
144.883Jobs
31.687IN

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
