Senior Module Engineer, Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)

The Team

The Energy Storage Engineering organization at GM is focused on extending the company's battery and systems expertise to stationary energy storage applications. The work sits at the intersection of advanced technology, system design, and new market opportunities. For candidates who are energized by early-stage innovation and visible impact, this team offers the chance to tackle complex engineering challenges, influence foundational decisions, and help define a growing area of the business.

The Role

The Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Module Engineer will lead the development of next-generation BESS modules from concept through launch. This is a highly visible role for an engineer who enjoys owning complex products, shaping technical direction, and working across functions to bring robust solutions to market.

In this position, you will define module architecture, drive critical engineering decisions, and help translate emerging product needs into scalable, manufacturable designs. You will play a key role in ensuring modules deliver against performance, cost, safety, reliability, manufacturability, and timing targets while helping build the foundation for GM’s growing battery energy storage portfolio.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the end-to-end development of new BESS modules from early concept through production launch.

• Translate product needs into clear module architectures, technical requirements, and executable development plans.

• Own module-level integration across cells, structures, thermal management, sensing, electrical interfaces, and bussing.

• Drive technical tradeoff studies and engineering decisions that balance performance, cost, safety, reliability, manufacturability, and program timing.

• Work closely with cross-functional partners across systems, manufacturing, validation, supply chain, quality, and program management to deliver launch-ready products.

• Guide designs through development gates with strong technical rigor and clear evidence that requirements have been achieved.

• Identify technical risks early, develop mitigation plans, and lead issue resolution to keep programs on track.

• Benchmark BESS products and relevant adjacent industries to identify opportunities in architecture, technology, and development approach.

• Help define and improve BESS engineering processes, tools, standards, and templates to support future program growth.

• Contribute as a technical leader on an evolving team where speed, sound judgment, and hands-on problem-solving matter.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

• Proven success leading the technical development of battery modules, battery packs, or closely related electrified products

• Strong understanding of module subsystems, including cells, structures, thermal management, sensing, and bussing/interconnect design

• Demonstrated ability to develop and execute system-level technical strategies across the product development lifecycle

• Experience making data-driven engineering decisions grounded in first principles, analysis, and test results

• Ability to lead through influence across cross-functional teams and align stakeholders around technical direction

• Strong communication skills with the ability to distill complex technical topics for leadership and cross-functional decision-making

• Bachelor of Science in Engineering

• 5+ years of product engineering experience

What will give you a competitive edge (Preferred Qualifications)

• Master of Science in Engineering or a related technical field

• Experience developing stationary energy storage systems, high-voltage battery products, or other large-format energy storage applications

• Hands-on experience with product launch, manufacturing integration, or design-for-manufacturing in battery or electrified systems

• Familiarity with industry standards, safety requirements, and validation approaches relevant to energy storage systems
