Systems Engineer

Job Summary

The Battery Systems Engineer will be responsible for leading cross-disciplinary aspects of the design and development of high-voltage automotive battery packs. The Battery Systems Engineer will be responsible for ensuring specific battery pack requirements are understood and driving all activity related to the battery system. This will require the Battery System Engineer to interface with mechanical design, thermal design, electrical design, harness design, and software team members.

Responsibilities

• Drives Systems engineering activities on customer projects which could include system testing, requirement development, and problem-solving activities.
• Listens to the voice of the customer and translates it into system requirements.
• Supports the development of the customer compliance matrix of customer requirements to an agreed baseline.
• Supports the development of system-level DFMEA and integrates it with requirements and verification plans.
• Supports the development of system requirements, architecture, and system concept sizing.
• Maintains changes to requirements, their impact analysis, and helps track scope creep.
• Maintains system requirements throughout the product life cycle.
• Identifies and drives cross-functional interface evaluations and any constraints.
• Strongly supports other key functional engineering groups with their tasks (ME, EE, SW, BMS).
• Supports functional safety, security, and reliability engineering analysis.
• Helps support decomposition of DFMEA into sub-system DFMEA, and PFMEA.
• Helps develop system inspection requirements for end of line testing, from quality control plan.
• Other duties as assigned.
• Predictable and reliable attendance.
