Job Summary

This position serves as the strategic technical owner for end-to-end battery pack design, development, validation, and manufacturing. The role integrates system architecture, requirements engineering, customer engagement, and program management into a single leadership function. The individual will drive cross-functional alignment across internal cell development, product design, validation engineering, quality, and external pack-house partners to ensure seamless delivery of high-performance, manufacturable, and reliable battery solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end battery pack system architecture, defining electrical, mechanical, thermal, firmware/BMS, and safety elements with a balanced approach to performance, cost, manufacturability, and reliability.
Lead the full requirements management lifecycle, translating customer needs into clear, traceable system and component-level specifications while ensuring alignment across internal engineering, quality, and manufacturing teams.
Serve as the primary technical interface to the customer, conducting design reviews, requirement negotiations, risk assessments, and solution recommendations with clarity and executive presence.
Drive holistic program execution from concept through mass production, developing integrated schedules, managing cross-functional deliverables, and ensuring alignment with business, technical, and operational objectives.
Coordinate closely with internal cell development and fabrication teams, ensuring pack-level design assumptions align with cell performance characteristics, safety thresholds, and readiness for manufacturing.
Provide technical leadership and oversight to pack-house subcontractors, reviewing DFM/DFA outputs, process flows, tooling proposals, and test plans to ensure manufacturing capability and quality standards are met.
Lead system-level verification and validation planning, ensuring all electrical, mechanical, thermal, safety, and regulatory requirements are fully tested and documented for certification and customer release.
Champion cross-functional risk mitigation, driving structured problem-solving, root-cause analysis, and resolution of design, manufacturing, or supply-chain risks throughout the program lifecycle.
Support production launch and scaling, partnering with manufacturing engineering, operations, and quality to validate process readiness, stabilize early builds, and ensure robust, high-yield mass production.
Maintain technical governance and documentation, including system FMEA, architecture documentation, requirement traceability, validation evidence, and change management control.
Drive continuous improvement and innovation, monitoring emerging technologies, materials, and design methodologies to enhance product reliability, manufacturability, and competitive positioning.

Qualifications & Experience

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field.
8+ years of experience in battery pack development, system engineering, or cross-functional program leadership.
Strong technical foundation in Li-ion cell behavior, BMS functionality, thermal management, and safety architectures.
Proven track record managing customer programs in high-tech or energy storage environments.
Experience working with overseas manufacturing partners and contract pack assemblers.
Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams without direct authority.
Excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills.
