Director of Engineering – Battery Pack Systems

About

We are building advanced battery pack solutions to power the next generation of electrified systems across mobility, energy storage, and industrial applications. Our team combines deep technical expertise with hands-on manufacturing capability to deliver high-performance, scalable, and production-ready battery systems.

The Role

Lead the engineering vision, strategy, and execution for battery pack and module development. You will build and guide a multidisciplinary engineering organization responsible for architecture, design, validation, and production launch. This is a high-impact, hands-on leadership role requiring both strong technical depth in battery systems and the ability to scale teams, processes, and products in a fast-moving environment.

What You’ll Do

• Define and execute the technical roadmap for battery pack and module development
• Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing engineering team across mechanical, electrical, systems, and validation disciplines
• Oversee full product lifecycle development from concept and architecture through validation and manufacturing launch
• Establish engineering processes, design standards, and best practices to enable scalable product development
• Drive cross-functional collaboration with program management, supply chain, manufacturing, and quality teams
• Lead system architecture decisions, trade studies, and technical risk mitigation strategies
• Ensure compliance with relevant safety and regulatory standards (UL, ISO, SAE, IEC, etc.)
• Support customer engagements, technical reviews, and design presentations
• Oversee documentation, BOM control, design releases, and change management processes
• Champion innovation in battery architecture, materials, safety systems, and manufacturability

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or related Engineering discipline (advanced degree preferred)
• 10+ years of engineering experience, including significant experience in battery systems or complex electro-mechanical product development
• 5+ years of engineering leadership experience managing and growing technical teams
• Demonstrated success delivering products from concept through production
• Deep understanding of battery pack architecture, safety systems, thermal management, and system integration
• Experience working within regulated environments and meeting compliance requirements
• Strong communication skills with the ability to influence executive leadership and external partners
