Senior BESS Module Engineer
Job Summary
The Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Module Engineer will lead the development of next-generation BESS modules from concept through launch. This role involves defining module architecture, driving critical engineering decisions, and ensuring robust solutions meet performance, cost, and safety targets. You will collaborate across functions to translate product needs into scalable, manufacturable designs.
Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end BESS module development
- Define module architecture and technical requirements
- Manage cross-functional technical integration
- Drive engineering decisions and risk mitigation
Required Skills
- Battery module/pack engineering
- Subsystem design (Thermal, Sensing, Bussing)
- Product development lifecycle management
- Cross-functional leadership
- Data-driven technical analysis
Job Details
Responsibilities:
- Lead the end-to-end development of new BESS modules from early concept through production launch.
- Translate product needs into clear module architectures, technical requirements, and executable development plans.
- Own module-level integration across cells, structures, thermal management, sensing, electrical interfaces, and bussing.
- Drive technical tradeoff studies and engineering decisions that balance performance, cost, safety, reliability, manufacturability, and program timing.
- Work closely with cross-functional partners across systems, manufacturing, validation, supply chain, quality, and program management to deliver launch-ready products.
- Guide designs through development gates with strong technical rigor.
- Identify technical risks early, develop mitigation plans, and lead issue resolution.
- Benchmark BESS products and relevant adjacent industries to identify opportunities in architecture, technology, and development approach.
- Help define and improve BESS engineering processes, tools, standards, and templates.
Required Qualifications:
- Proven success leading the technical development of battery modules, battery packs, or closely related electrified products.
- Strong understanding of module subsystems, including cells, structures, thermal management, sensing, and bussing/interconnect design.
- Demonstrated ability to develop and execute system-level technical strategies.
- Experience making data-driven engineering decisions grounded in first principles, analysis, and test results.
- Ability to lead through influence across cross-functional teams.
- Strong communication skills.
- Bachelor of Science in Engineering and 5+ years of product engineering experience.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Master of Science in Engineering or a related technical field.
- Experience developing stationary energy storage systems, high-voltage battery products, or other large-format energy storage applications.
- Hands-on experience with product launch, manufacturing integration, or design-for-manufacturing in battery or electrified systems.
- Familiarity with industry standards, safety requirements, and validation approaches relevant to energy storage systems.
