Job Description
This position may be filled at the Staff, Senior Staff, or Principal level, depending on the candidate’s qualifications, technical depth, and experience.
Key Responsibilities
- Serve as the system-level technical lead for high-voltage battery development and integration.
- Translate vehicle and customer requirements into battery-system and subsystem requirements across cell, mechanical, electrical, thermal, BMS interfaces, validation, and manufacturing.
- Own requirement decomposition, allocation, traceability, verification, and system-level change impact.
- Define and integrate battery performance targets, including energy, power, voltage, current, charging, temperature, aging, and safety limits.
- Lead cross-functional architecture and technical trade studies across performance, safety, durability, packaging, cost, and manufacturability.
- Integrate inputs from Cell, Mechanical, Electrical, Thermal, CAE, Validation, Manufacturing, and customer engineering teams into a consistent system solution that meets customer requirements.
- Lead the technical interface with BMS and controls teams for battery operating limits, capability maps, sensing, diagnostics, protection thresholds, and other constraints.
- Lead system DFMEA, technical risk reviews, and system-level design reviews.
- Define system verification methods and support DVP&R and validation planning.
- Analyze cell, pack, BMS, simulation, test, and vehicle data to identify system limitations and root causes.
- Lead cross-functional technical issue resolution and drive corrective actions to closure.
- Ensure consistency between customer specifications, Gotion requirements, design releases, validation plans, and production-intent configurations.
- Support vehicle launch, production ramp-up, and field issue resolution.
- Help establish battery systems engineering practices and mentor engineers across programs.
Requirements

- Strong understanding of HV battery architecture, including cells, pack mechanical systems, HV/LV electrical systems, thermal management, charging, BMS interfaces, and vehicle integration.
- Demonstrated experience translating vehicle or OEM requirements into battery-system requirements and technical targets.
- Strong understanding of battery performance and the interaction between cell capability, voltage, current, SOC, temperature, aging, thermal performance, and vehicle demand.
- Proven ability to integrate multiple engineering disciplines and make sound system-level technical decisions.
- Experience with requirements, architecture, validation, vehicle integration, or technical issue resolution for complex automotive systems.
- Strong technical problem-solving, data-analysis, and root-cause capability.
- Strong communication skills and ability to work directly with OEM engineering organizations.
- Experience with major EV or automotive OEM battery programs.
- Experience at an OEM, battery manufacturer, automotive Tier 1, or EV technology company.
- Experience with BMS hardware and software interfaces.
- Familiarity with battery capability maps, power limits, charging limits, DVP&R, DFMEA, ISO 26262, and requirements-management tools such as DOORS, Jama, or Polarion.
