About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Work with internal and external customers to design and integrate the electrical system of high-voltage battery packs for military platforms.
Support technical trade-off studies within the battery pack to select optimal electrical designs (architecture, components, interfaces, protection).
Support integration and balance of sub-systems (cells, modules, BMS, contactors, fusing, harnessing, LV/HV interfaces) to optimize the battery pack while achieving program requirements, cost, mass and timing.
Support builds of prototype properties and test articles as needed, including issue identification and resolution during build.
Support development of the controls architecture strategy for the battery electrical system, battery pack calibration of controls, flashing of controllers and data analysis for development, validation and issue resolution in collaboration with systems and controls teams.
Participate in design and peer reviews to ensure robust electrical design, safety and compliance to GM and customer requirements.
Manage Change Requests and Issue tracking.
Owns the component Statement of Requirements, component timing plan, issues, etc. and manages details when changes are required.
Support development of system or component requirements
Manages interface control documents (ICDm and ICDe) for both component and works with integration counterparts to develop robust and efficient solutions.
Prepare and present technical content and status in Program Reviews and customer/partner technical reviews as needed.
Lead or support issue resolution, including root cause analysis, containment, corrective actions and lessons learned related to the battery electrical system.
