High Voltage Core Systems Engineer

We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join our core high voltage systems engineering team. The engineer in this role is responsible for developing core engineering documentation including, requirements, design rules, test methods, design reviews, DFMEAs, P-diagrams, boundary diagrams, and SCCPs for new and existing technologies in the domain of high voltage systems and high voltage battery systems.

This position will be expected to work cross-functionally with eDrive, non-motive power conversion, charging, and controls teams as well as interface with Vehicle Energy Management Engineering, Vehicle Architecture, and Systems Engineering teams. You will also be responsible for supporting the broader high voltage applications teams and high voltage battery unit teams as they progress through the GPDS process.

• Act as project lead for high voltage electrical system projects and studies including failure mode assessment, prevent recurrence actions, cost optimization studies, new architecture studies, cost reduction actions, and new technology adoption studies.
• Lead the development of a core generic high voltage system design specification document and define the supporting pre-PS and post-PS processes and cross functional responsibilities.
• Lead cross functional interfaces within EPE to map the EPE Core process for HV Battery design, attribute implementation, and information exchange across HV systems, component teams, and VEME.
• Develop traceability between xEV attributes and requirements to improve unit workbook processes and high voltage architecture decision making.
• Lead global implementation of the Technical Assessment Process and support battery technical leader in continuous improvement actions and process definition.
• Support the development of generic high voltage electrical architecture, including high voltage electrical layout and subsystem interaction, to optimize high voltage system-level designs.
• Support high voltage core systems technical specialists with their development of core engineering processes, reviews and sign-offs, and development of advanced high voltage batter concepts with foundation document development, optimization analysis, and trade-off studies.
• Author HV Battery Unit Requirements (RQT), Design Rules (DR), and Test Methods (TM), and progress them through internal review and approval processes (Tech Clubs and EDC) to release to FEDE.
• Support the unit workbook process
• Support DFMEA development

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Electrical, Systems, or equivalent Engineering discipline
• 2+ years of high-voltage battery or equivalent EV powertrain integration / program experience
