TL;DR · Module Design Engineer (BMS)

Module Design Engineer (BMS) serves as the primary technical owner for energy storage systems powering next-generation drone products. Working within the Core Battery Group, the engineer manages the full lifecycle of battery packs from initial cell selection and prototype iterations through to full-rate production. Key responsibilities include translating user stories into actionable requirements, performing root cause analysis on fielded systems, and collaborating with manufacturing teams to ensure design-for-manufacturing success. The role requires proficiency in CAD tools like CATIA, NX, or SolidWorks, along with experience in battery management system electrical design, algorithms, or validation. Candidates must possess expertise in cell characterization methods or modeling using Matlab and Simulink. This position addresses the critical challenge of developing high-performance, reliable power systems for unmanned aircraft operating in demanding environments while adhering to specific safety standards like UN38.3 and NAVSEA S9310.

What you'll do

  • Drive end-to-end energy storage system development from initial concept through full-rate production on accelerated timelines.
  • Act as the primary technical interface between the Core Battery Group and internal product teams.
  • Translate user stories and concepts of operations into actionable technical requirements for battery systems.
  • Lead the selection, de-risking, and validation process for battery cells.
  • Manage design iterations with mechanical engineers to move from prototype packs to production units.
  • Support manufacturing engineering to scale production while ensuring reliability through tools like DFMEAs.
  • Perform hands-on battery bring-up, testing, debugging, and vehicle integration activities.
  • Conduct root cause analysis on fielded systems to develop countermeasures and design updates.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or Physical Sciences with an applied focus on energy storage technologies.
  • 3+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting energy storage systems.
  • Proven experience in battery pack design, prototype assembly, and taking systems from prototype to production.
  • Professional awareness of BMS electrical design, algorithms/software functionality, or validation against operational requirements.
  • Professional awareness of battery cell characterization methods or modeling/simulation in Matlab or Simulink.
  • Basic proficiency with CAD tools such as CATIA, NX, or SolidWorks.
  • Understanding of UN38.3, NAVSEA S9310, and/or equivalent battery safety standards (UL, IEC).
  • Must be a U.S. Person due to access to export-controlled information or facilities.
