Product Development Systems Engineer

Saft is developing next-generation battery systems for defense and mission-critical applications, combining advanced energy storage capabilities with advanced battery monitoring and control technology. The next generation battery systems will have a strong focus on robust architecture, electrical design implementation, system integration, safety, and validation.

As part of this effort, the role will contribute to the maturation of advanced battery system solutions for new market segments.

We are seeking a highly motivated Systems Engineer with a strong Electrical Engineering background to help define, implement and validate innovative battery system architectures. The successful candidate will combine systems engineering discipline with hands-on electrical design capability, contributing directly to system architecture, requirements management, electrical interfaces, power conversion integration, verification and validation activities.

This position requires candidate MUST BE A US CITIZEN OR GREEN CARD HOLDER

As Product Development Systems Engineer, you will be responsible for the end-to-end systems engineering process for advanced battery system development, leading to operation prototype, testing and validation.

You will serve as a technical contributor and leader responsible for aligning battery systems, electrical design, power electronics, controls, embedded interfaces, safety functions and system integration activities into a cohesive product architecture.

The role requires a high level of autonomy and practical engineering ownership. You will be expected not only to structure and coordinate systems engineering activities, but also to directly implement, review and validate portions of the electrical and system design.
