• Lead diagnostic analyses to determine root cause of power battery pack related failures at the customer level through BMS and vehicle-level data analysis;
• Support battery production and vehicle general assembly, through end-of-line failure data analysis, traveling to support critical cross-functional issues on-site when necessary;
• Partner with field reliability, field service, failure analysis, battery pack assembly manufacturing, and all relevant battery and vehicle control design teams to ensure alignment on cross-functional issues and necessary mitigation actions;
• Develop and propose improvements to the BMS and vehicle diagnostic strategies to mitigate customer impact and streamline the field service failure analysis process;
• Collaborate with the HV battery platform team responsible for new product architecture development (fusing, HV switch gear, HV electrical safety, and overcurrent protection) to integrate field-related lessons learned and optimize next-generation designs.

Education, Experience, and/or Required Licenses:

• 3+ years of work experience in Battery/Automotive/Aerospace/related industries, with significant experience in power battery packaging and battery management system (BMS) for vehicle applications;
• A bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline;
• Knowledge of battery behavior and high voltage safety;
• Knowledge of battery sensing technology and battery management architectural design;
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment with focus on rapid root cause identification and corrective action implementation;
• Experience with vehicle communication bus diagnostic tools.

Work Environment:

• This is an onsite position based in Riverside, CA and requires being 100% onsite.
