About The Position

The Battery Systems Engineer will be responsible for battery pack design, focusing on architectural and electrical aspects. This role involves developing test procedures and cell cycling equipment for evaluating electrical products and components, both internally and in external labs. The engineer will perform technical risk and performance analysis and simulation, maintain time records, and prepare project reports. A key aspect of this role is collaboration with customers and the development team to analyze and document requirements, as well as working with other engineers on a global team. The position also requires providing technical guidance to all engineering disciplines throughout the APQP development process, supporting customer integration and validation of battery packs (onsite when required), and assisting program management with post-sourcing reviews of hardware, software, and systems. This role operates under TISAX confidentiality level [Level 2] and requires ensuring legal compliance with state, federal, and OSHA requirements, adherence to ISO procedures, and compliance with all company policies and work instructions.
