TAF Carbon has an exciting opportunity for someone passionate about engineering and sustainability and eager to be part of an innovative company that’s on a journey to transform the world’s materials. We are seeking an Engineering Manager who has lived the journey from lab bench to production floor to join our team working directly with the Director of Research and Development and the leadership team. You will lead our Process Scale-Up Manufacturing effort, bridging between our world-class R D scientists and the industrial manufacturing partners who will bring our carbon foam materials to commercial scale.

This is a hands-on, technically deep leadership role for someone who finds equal satisfaction in rigorous process analysis and in building the systems and relationships that make manufacturing actually work. This role grows with the company. In the near term, you will be driving industrialization and process control.

Over time, you will contribute to new product development from the process and tooling side, and to the early foundations of TAF Carbon's own manufacturing capabilities. This role is part of the team that services the entire Endeavour ecosystem and contributes to the overall health and success of the organization. The Engineering Manager needs to be agile, professional, and comfortable in a rapidly changing environment.

The right person is trustworthy with confidential information, highly organized, self-motivated, has excellent communication skills, can think strategically, and works equally as well independently as with a team. They are born problem-solvers and highly self-motivated to identify and address engineering challenges. TAF Carbon is highly selective about the people we bring on board because our ecosystem depends on it.

Change happens quickly here, and we must maintain a strong team of honest, communicative, collaborative, open-minded, strategic, reliable, and driven team members. We seek ultra-creative performers with self-awareness, a sense of humility, and a hunger to make a positive impact in the world. Endeavour offers flexibility and endless growth opportunities to those who can harness their skills and talents and identify how and where to use them to add value.

Our team is the heart of the ecosystem. We’re a diverse group of bright, passionate, dedicated people, working together to make a real difference. Are you ready to join the journey?

Key Responsibilities

Include but are not limited to: Process Scale-Up Industrialization Lead the translation of laboratory and pilot-scale carbon foam processes into robust, reproducible industrial manufacturing operations to take our material through testing and certification, prototyping, and product commercial launch. Hands-on engineering and problem solving in a fast-growing start-up environment. Define and implement process control and improvement frameworks — including 6 Sigma, SPC and MSA — that establish and sustain process capability across manufacturing environments.

Drive continuous improvement in process efficiency, energy performance, heating uniformity, cost of goods and time to market. Develop and evaluate innovative approaches to mold design, heating technology, and process configuration that enable scalable, high-throughput production. Establish and maintain high engineering standards, including documentation, design review processes, and technical governance Manufacturing Partner Development Identify, qualify, and develop long-term technical relationships with external manufacturing partners.

Requirements

, quality standards, and scale-up milestones. Collaborate with R D teammates to translate research outcomes into manufacturable processes and clear manufacturing inputs, streamlined processes, to reduce time to market.
