As a Senior Battery Engineer (Drones), you will join the Core Battery Group to drive the development of energy storage systems for next-generation drone products, including loitering munitions and tactical unmanned aircraft. You will serve as the primary technical owner for battery pack delivery, managing the entire lifecycle from cell selection and prototype iterations through full-rate production. Your daily responsibilities include defining requirements based on user stories, leading design revisions with mechanical engineers, supporting manufacturing ramps using DFMEAs, and performing root cause analysis on fielded systems. The role requires expertise in battery management system electrical design, algorithms, or validation, as well as cell characterization or modeling in Matlab and Simulink. You will utilize CAD tools like CATIA, NX, or SolidWorks while ensuring compliance with safety standards such as UN38.3 and NAVSEA S9310 to solve complex power challenges in demanding environments.
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 operational concepts into actionable technical requirements for battery systems.
Lead the selection, de-risking, and validation of battery cells for drone products.
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.
5+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting energy storage systems.
Proven experience taking battery packs from prototype design through 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 battery safety standards including UN38.3, NAVSEA S9310, UL, or IEC.
Must be a U.S. Person for access to export-controlled information and facilities.
