TL;DR · Senior Battery Systems Engineer

JOB TITLE: Senior Battery Systems Engineer The Senior Battery Systems Engineer joins the Core Battery Group to drive the development of energy storage systems for next-generation drone products. This role involves taking individual ownership of battery packs from initial cell selection through prototype iterations to full-rate production. Key responsibilities include defining requirements from user stories, leading design revisions with mechanical engineers, supporting manufacturing ramps using DFMEAs, and performing hands-on testing, debugging, and vehicle integration. The candidate must possess expertise in battery management system electrical design, algorithms, and cell characterization methods. Required technical skills include proficiency in Matlab, Simulink, and CAD tools like CATIA, NX, or SolidWorks. The role addresses the technical challenge of powering long-endurance loitering munitions and tactical unmanned aircraft in demanding environments while adhering to UN38.3 and NAVSEA S9310 safety standards.

What you'll do

  • Drive battery pack development from initial concept through full-rate production on accelerated timelines.
  • Translate user stories and operational concepts into actionable energy storage system requirements.
  • Lead battery cell selection using accelerated de-risking and validation processes.
  • Manage design iterations for component testing, mini modules, and prototype packs with mechanical engineers.
  • Support manufacturing scale-up by ensuring validation and reliability verification through tools like DFMEAs.
  • Perform hands-on battery bring-up, testing, debugging, and vehicle integration activities.
  • Conduct root cause analysis on fielded systems to drive design updates and countermeasures.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Manufacturing Engineering, or fundamental Physical Sciences with an applied focus on energy storage.
  • 5+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting energy storage systems.
  • Past ownership of battery pack design and prototype assembly.
  • Demonstrated experience delivering robust, high-performance energy storage 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 battery cell/pack modeling/simulation in Matlab or Simulink.
  • Basic capabilities and understanding of CAD tools such as CATIA, NX, or SolidWorks.
  • Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities.
