Responsibilities

Lead the development and execution of electrical system design strategies, working cross functionally with embedded engineering, electronics, manufacturing engineering, projects and field teams
Direct the development of mathematical / simulation models for power converters, switching devices, protection circuits, and system‑level energy flows
Conduct electrical simulations (PSCAD, PSSE, PLECS, MATLAB/Simulink etc.) to validate system behavior, transient response, and fault‑handling performance.
Establish modelling standards, simulation methodologies, and verification frameworks to ensure accuracy, repeatability, and traceability across engineering teams and across projects.
Support hardware-in-the-loop system testing (custom, RTDS, Typhoon etc.) of battery electrical systems
Work closely with the Electronics team to define requirements and designs for system electrical power and communication components.
Define requirements for surge, ESD, transient immunity, and protection coordination across the entire electrical system.
Own the electrical system design roadmap for current and future battery systems
Guide concept development, requirements definition, DFMEA, and design reviews.
Oversee prototype builds, validation testing, and design-for-manufacturability.
Build and mentor a high‑performance team of electrical system and modeling engineers with deep technical specialization.
