Staff Architect, 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 Staff Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Architect will lead the development of BESS products from concept through launch. This is a highly visible role for an engineer who enjoys owning technical direction, shaping system architecture, and aligning cross-functional teams to deliver robust, launch-ready products.

In this position, you will define system architecture, drive key technical decisions, and help translate product concepts into executable development plans. You will play a key role in ensuring products 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 development of BESS products from concept through launch.

  • Translate product concepts into system requirements, architectures, and executable development plans.

  • Own system architecture and integration across cells, modules, structures, thermal management, sensing, bussing, electronics, power conversion interfaces, and safety systems.

  • 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 ensure products are launch-ready for quality, cost, and throughput targets.

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

  • Serve as the program’s primary technical interface to leadership.

  • 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.

  • Mentor and develop technical talent across the organization.
