About The Position

The Product Sourcing Engineer (Batteries & Energy) owns sourcing for the program’s energy storage and power supply base, including cells, modules, battery packs, battery management systems, charging hardware, and power conversion.

Reporting to the Supply Chain Lead, the role calls for technical expertise and leadership to set objectives, build cross-functional teams, and drive work to completion. The engineer uses prior experience and judgment to ensure appropriate design, analysis, and testing steps are completed, and supports multidisciplinary projects from development through execution.
