Battery Electrical Engineer - GM Defense

Descripción

The Role

The Battery Electrical Engineer – GM Defense is an advanced engineering resource responsible for designing and integrating the electrical systems of high-voltage batteries for military platforms.

You will work with Project Leads, Software and Controls Engineers, Designers and build teams to oversee development of the battery electrical system from requirements through release in a fast-paced environment on government programs and special projects. This position requires a combination of strong technical fundamentals and hands-on skills, with the confidence and ability to be self-directed in a small-team environment.

This role combines advanced engineering expertise with hands-on development, supporting both government programs and special projects through significant cross-functional collaboration.

What You’ll Do

 •        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.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

 •        Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field.

•        Minimum of 3 years of relevant work experience.

•        Strong product development experience in battery and/or high-voltage electrical systems.

•        Experience in design, development, validation and release of automotive electrical/electronic components or systems.

•        Demonstrated ability to deal with ambiguity, set priorities and be a self-starter in a fast-paced environment.

•        Solid understanding of engineering theory and principles of operation of mechanical and electrical systems and components.

•        Candidate must either be a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, asylee or refugee)

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

•        Hands-on experience with high-voltage battery systems (prototype builds, test, instrumentation, troubleshooting).

•        Experience with high-voltage battery failure modes, design and control mitigation strategies, and root cause analysis.

•        Experience designing electrical systems, including HV/LV distribution, protection, grounding/bonding, sensing, interlocks and communication networks.

•        Familiarity with GM vehicle control, calibration and data logging systems and file formats.

•        Familiarity with tools such as Vehicle Spy, INCA, dSPACE, GMSIM.

•        Experience with xIL environments (SIL, HIL, MIL, DIL, etc.).

•        Experience in CAD systems for electrical and/or packaging design (schematics, harnesses, layouts).
