- Develop electrical sub‑system integration test plans and drive prototype testing and analysis for EMC, communication, HV/LV power distribution, and BMS peripheral systems (contactors, pre-charge, voltage/temperature/current/isolation sensors), etc.
- Collaborate with Validation Engineers, design engineers, suppliers, and external test labs to resolve Power, Control, Communication, and EMC-related design and compliance issues.
- Support analysis of BMS schematics, layouts, hardware, controls, communications, and Worst‑Case Circuit Analysis (WCCA).
- Track and prioritize top technical risks and known electrical system issues.
- Troubleshoot battery pack issues and update requirements and engineering guidelines from lessons learned.
- Drive model‑based analysis of the electrical battery system with Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE), and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE).
- Support Validation with planning, testing, root-cause analysis, and corrective actions.
- Support electrical inspection requirements for end‑of‑line testing.
- Adhere to federal and state regulations.
- Adhere to all company policies, processes, and procedures.
- Perform other duties as assigned.
- Maintain predictable and reliable attendance.
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, or an equivalent field.
- Master’s degree preferred.
- Minimum of seven (7) years of experience in automotive or similar electrical systems including HV/LV Battery Systems, BMS, Battery Disconnect Units (BDU), Power Distribution Units (PDU), or Controller Area Network (CAN) communications.
- Experience with DFMEA, Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA), Design Verification Plan and Report (DVP&R), and the product design life cycle.
- Experience working in a lab environment working with multimeters, oscilloscopes, HiPot testers, Inductance-Capacitance-Resistance (LCR) meters, Controller Area Network analysis tools (CANalyzer/CANoe), and Data Acquisition systems (DAQs).
- Experience with WCCA, SPICE, CAD/CAE, and electrical design tools.
- Preferred experience with Ansys, Mathcad, MATLAB, Simulink, Simscape, LTspice, and Altium.
- Preferred experience with requirements management tools and systems engineering methodologies including Jama, DOORS, Sparx Enterprise Architect, Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), and SysML.
- Preferred experience with AI (Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude).
- Preferred experience handling high‑voltage lithium‑ion battery systems.
- Focuses on Quality: Drives work results with quality focus in actions and results.
- Continual Improvement: Displays a consistent orientation toward producing the highest quality products or services, while keeping a focus on sustainability. Constantly looking for incremental improvements in work and processes and results.
