Hire Top New Product Development Engineer

Caleb Trantham

Since November 2023, I have had the opportunity to serve in several different capacities and gain extensive knowledge of the battery. 3-months at Kobe lab allowed me to focus on Cell Evaluation, Analysis, Design, and Formation. Since coming back from training, I have spent the last 4 months supporting as a Process Engineer for Formation/CR and leading as a Product Engineer. My goal after the trip was to take the initiative and apply what I had learned. Having supported design during the investigation of Gas Bite, Li Deposition, and Cu Dendrites through trial support, data analytics (PowerBI), and cross-departmental collaboration, this goal has been accomplished. Through this activity I have continued to Sharpen the Saw and gained new knowledge. I have also worked with TRI to start various other projects: Titan, Battery Brain, Data Dictionary, dV Analysis, etc.

I am a self-driven developer with a passion for learning and delivering a high-quality product. As an SDET, I write automated tests to enable developers to receive fast feedback and continue moving forward. I have experience both coming into an existing project, making improvements and adding tests, and coming into a new project and starting a new test suite. I am also committed to helping others grow in this field as well – through leading internal groups and participating in the College of Western Idaho’s Technical Advisory Committee, and volunteering in Hour of Code events at primary schools.

Britt Albright

I've thrived professionally due to the fortuitous combination of structure and independence I was afforded as a military kid. I am hoping to share that winning combination of life skills to Middle School ELAR students. As a Director and VP level design professional I led complex, fast-paced, time sensitive projects in challenging, international environments. Launched heady new start-ups companies and collaborated with some of today's most demanding, discerning heritage brands. Over the years, my people skills, sound judgement, flexibility and positive, collaborative attitude, have been my advantage. Today as I change my professional focus, I believe I've mastered many of the skills needed to be a successful middle school teacher. Combined with my innate love of learning, language, and young people, I am confident and excited to be moving toward my future in teaching.
