Systems Engineer

The role

You will define technical requirements, interfaces, and integration strategies for large-scale energy storage systems. You will bridge the gap between complex subsystem designs and high-level product architecture.

What you will do

• Define and manage system-level requirements, functional specifications, and interface control documents for core battery system architecture.
• Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and firmware engineering teams to ensure subsystem designs are seamlessly integrated and meet performance targets.
• Lead system-level validation and integration testing, developing test plans that verify safety, reliability, and functionality under diverse operating conditions.
• Perform trade-off analyses to optimize system performance, cost, and manufacturability, identifying potential risks early in the development lifecycle.
• Conduct root cause analysis for complex system-level failures, working cross-functionally to implement effective engineering solutions.
• Decompose requirements and functions from system-level down to component-level, ensuring traceability.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering (Systems, Electrical, Mechanical, or equivalent)
• 3+ years of professional experience
• Strong understanding of systems engineering principles, including requirements management, interface definition, and lifecycle development
• Proficiency with electrical battery systems
• Proficiency with technical modeling and documentation tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, SysML, or similar)
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Nice to have

• Experience in multidisciplinary integration, preferably in power electronics, battery systems, or large-scale electro-mechanical hardware

Benefits

• mentorship
• career growth opportunities
• comprehensive benefits

Before you apply

• All candidates selected for employment will be required to successfully complete a pre-employment drug screening as a condition of hire.
