The role

We are seeking a strategic and dynamic Electrical Engineer – High Voltage Micro – Welding Systems to lead the design, integration, optimization, and ongoing support of electrical and control systems for advanced micro-welding technologies used in EV battery manufacturing. This role is responsible for delivering safe, repeatable, and high-quality welding solutions for high-voltage flex circuits that support battery cells, modules, and packs in high-volume production environments.

The ideal candidate is an innovative, data-driven engineer with a passion for advanced manufacturing, electrical safety, and process excellence, who thrives in fast-paced EV launch environments and actively contributes to a culture of continuous improvement and operational growth. This position is a hybrid role based in the greater Detroit, Michigan area and reports to the Corporate Senior Reliability Manager as part of the Corporate Engineering team.

• Design, specify, and troubleshoot electrical and control systems for high voltage flex circuits with micro-welding equipment, including laser and resistance welding platforms.
• Support and maintain electrical schematics, panel layouts, wiring diagrams, and I/O documentation to support automated flex circuit manufacturing systems with tool shops.
• Support and integrate PLC platforms, motion control systems, laser controllers, HMIs, safety PLCs (Allen Bradley, Siemens), and industrial communication networks (Ether Net/IP, Profinet, Modbus).
• Ensure compliance with applicable electrical and safety standards, including NFPA 79, IEC, UL, and internal high voltage manufacturing requirements.

• Provide electrical and controls support for micro-welding processes used in battery tabs, busbars, cell-to-cell, voltage sense tabs, and module interconnects.
• Support welding of copper, aluminum, nickel, and plated materials, including dissimilar metal joints common in EV battery assemblies.
• Interface with laser sources (fiber and disk), beam delivery optics, galvo scanning systems, wavelength (Blue, Red, Green), and resistance welding power supplies.
• Implement and support real-time weld monitoring and feedback systems, including current, voltage, energy, displacement, plume monitoring, vision inspection, and pyrometry.
• Support weld validation and quality requirements in accordance with ISO 13919, ISO 6520, AWS standards, and customer-specific battery specifications.

• Support electrical safety requirements for high-energy EV battery manufacturing environments.
• Design, implement, and validate laser safety systems, including Class 4 laser enclosures, interlocks, LOTO, light curtains, and safety PLC architectures.
• Ensure proper grounding, isolation, and ESD controls critical to safe battery production.
• Support compliance with IATF 16949, ISO 9001, and customer-specific EV battery safety and quality requirements.

• Lead electrical and controls support for equipment commissioning, FAT/SAT activities, production line launches, and ramp-up.
• Provide hands‑on troubleshooting to minimize downtime, scrap, and weld-related defects in high-volume manufacturing environments.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on OEE, First Pass Yield (FPY), defect reduction, and equipment reliability.
• Collaborate with maintenance teams…
