Background

About Sharad Shinde

As a Senior Process Engineer with over 8 years of international experience in lithium-ion battery manufacturing, I specialize in scaling complex cell processes—from pilot lines to fully operational gigafactories. My expertise lies in electrolyte filling, formation & aging, dry room operations, and commissioning, with a strong foundation in DOE, PFMEA, and EHS compliance. At Northvolt, I led cross-functional initiatives that cut electrolyte filling cycle time by 40% and improved yield by 18% using robust data analysis and process optimization strategies. I’ve worked hands-on with CE/ATEX-compliant systems, driven FAT/SAT activities, and contributed to large-scale industrialization in Europe and Asia. What sets me apart is my ability to bridge engineering rigor with lean thinking and leadership. Whether coordinating teams across automation, R&D, and quality, or driving digitalization in MES environments, I strive to bring structure, speed, and scalability to every project. Passionate about electrification and energy transition Fluent in English, experienced across Sweden, India, and China Open to global opportunities in advanced manufacturing, battery systems, and industrial strategy.
