• Role: Engineering / Electrical
• Experience: Any (new grads ok)
• Visa: US citizen/visa only

As a Battery Pack Design Engineer you will responsible for designing, developing, prototyping and validating both low-voltage high-voltage battery packs - Voltages from 3.6V up to 800V, Capacities from 10 ah up to 100 kWh, or even in the mega-watt-hours (future). You will optimize current, and design new battery modules to make up larger voltage/capacity battery packs. You will ideally optimize and develop every component in the battery pack, including the battery management system.

Our battery packs are used for stationary energy storage, ground vehicles (manned and unmanned), aircraft (drones class 1-4), and watercraft.

We'll need your help scaling production of batteries. We are scaling battery production for multiple modules ranging from 1s5p to 14s5p and 14s9p. The 14s5p modules will be arranged into a 112s5p , 470V max battery pack.

This is a full-time in-person role based in Pittsburgh, PA.

The role involves performing engineering calculations, reviewing requirements and safety standards, supporting prototype builds, and participating in testing, failure analysis, and design iterations. Documentation of designs, BOMs, and test results, as well as close collaboration with manufacturing and suppliers, are key elements of this position.

This position also includes maintaining equipment, ensuring adherence to safety standards for both low-voltage and high-voltage systems, and providing feedback on design changes from a manufacturing perspective. While most responsibilities are performed onsite in the workshop and production area, some process documentation, data analysis, and coordination tasks can be completed from home.
