Electrical Systems Engineer - Operations

The Electrical Systems Engineer - Operations is responsible for leading the functional engineering team on battery electrical systems architecture from a systems perspective. This position will apply an interdisciplinary approach to the engineering of battery systems and components, what is required of their design, and manage their realization. They will define and document overall electrical architecture at the system level and oversee verification of the electrical sub-system.

This also includes defining electrical system requirements early in the development cycle, identifying top technical risks, and championing the design synthesis and concept verification in the context of the complete battery system. This position will work closely with the engineering design team, prototype engineering team, manufacturing teams, key suppliers, validation/testing team, customers, program managers, and business development.
