Full time Posted:
The High-Voltage Battery Monitoring System (BMS) Hardware Engineer will lead the design, development, validation, and release of battery monitoring hardware for our advanced EV and high-voltage battery programs, working closely with core automotive engineering and specialized technical teams. This role owns critical elements of the monitoring architecture, including cell voltage and temperature sensing, current sensing, balancing, isolation monitoring, contactor and precharge support, and fault detection.

The ideal candidate brings strong experience in high-voltage battery electronics, analog and mixed-signal hardware design, PCB development, worst-case circuit analysis, hardware validation, and safety-focused engineering. This person will translate system requirements into robust hardware designs and help ensure safe, reliable, manufacturable battery monitoring solutions for high-capacity energy applications.

Qualifications You'll have...Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
5+ years of experience in battery systems, battery electronics, high-voltage hardware design, or related technical work.

Hands-on experience designing and validating hardware for battery monitoring, BMS, or high-voltage energy storage systems.

Experience with analog and mixed-signal circuit design, sensor interfaces, protection circuitry, or power electronics support circuits.

Experience performing hardware debug, validation, and root-cause analysis in lab and prototype environments.

Experience working cross-functionally with systems, firmware, test, manufacturing, and supplier teams.

Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Ability and willingness to travel occasionally.

Even better, you may have...Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field.

Experience in BESS, automotive HV battery systems, or other high-voltage energy storage applications.

Experience with centralized, distributed, or modular BMS architectures and monitoring topologies.

Experience with cell monitoring ICs, isolation monitoring, balancing circuitry, contactor control, and diagnostic hardware.

Experience with WCCA, FMEA, FMEDA, and product safety development processes.

Experience with board-, module-, rack-, and system-level hardware validation.

Familiarity with CAN, SPI, and other battery system communication interfaces.

Experience supporting production launch, manufacturing test, and supplier quality resolution.
