- Interface directly with customers to gather requirements, clarify technical specifications, and present battery and HV system solutions.
- Provide technical support and troubleshooting for battery, HV, and test system-related issues.
- Support the integration of HV components such as batteries, chargers, inverters, DC/DC converters, power distribution units, and associated control systems.
- Ensure compliance with applicable high voltage safety standards, electrical regulations, battery safety requirements, and customer specifications.
- Participate in hazard analyses, system-level risk assessments, and safety reviews for HV systems.
- Support the definition and implementation of HV safety concepts, including electrical isolation, interlock systems, grounding, protection strategies, and safe operating procedures.
- Collaborate with manufacturing and commissioning teams to ensure successful transfer of designs into production and installation environments.
- Provide technical guidance during system installation, commissioning, and validation activities.
- Identify and resolve complex HV system issues through root cause analysis and structured problem-solving methodologies.
- Implement corrective and preventive actions to improve system reliability, safety, and performance.
- Reuse and promote best practices, methodologies, and solutions developed across projects and global teams.
- Develop technical instructions and engineering documentation considering functionality, schedule, quality, and safety requirements.
- Provide technical clarification to customers regarding system requirements, functions, interfaces, and HV safety aspects.
- Break down requirements, functions, and system architecture into engineering work packages.
- Continuously review and analyze project requirements, customer use cases, operational scenarios, and functional specifications.
- Plan, coordinate, and review integration, verification, validation, and acceptance activities for battery and HV systems.
- Support HV system verification and validation activities, including test planning, execution, results analysis, reporting, and issue resolution.
- Contribute to HV system performance optimization, reliability improvement, and technology innovation initiatives.
YOUR PROFILE:
- Technical high school diploma and/or Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Energy Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related discipline.
