Description

Description As a Battery Validation & Test Engineer, you will lead the validation, testing, and integration of high-voltage battery systems for advanced BEV and electrified vehicle programs. This role is intended for a professional with at least 5 years of experience in battery systems validation, regulatory compliance, and test strategy development. You will serve as a technical authority supporting prototype and production programs, with hands-on responsibility for test planning, execution, data analysis, and cross-functional technical leadership. Responsibilities: Lead battery system validation activities including performance, durability, safety, and regulatory compliance testing Develop and execute cell-, module-, pack-, and vehicle-level battery test plans aligned with OEM, UN, SAE, and IEC battery standards Support certification and compliance testing to applicable battery regulations and standards (e.g., UN 38.3, SAE J2464, SAE J2929, IEC 62660, IEC 61960, UL 2580) plan and support battery abuse, environmental, vibration, and thermal propagation testing in internal and external laboratories Oversee high-voltage instrumentation, safe handling, and commissioning of battery systems in laboratory and vehicle test environments Analyze battery data including voltage, current, temperature, insulation resistance, SOC/SOH, aging, and degradation trends Interface with BMS, thermal, EMC, controls, and vehicle integration teams to investigate issues and optimize battery system performance Provide technical leadership, mentoring, and technical review support to engineers and technicians Prepare detailed test reports, technical reviews, compliance documentation, and customer-facing presentations Requirements 5+ years of experience in lithium-ion battery systems, battery validation, or electrified powertrain testing Strong understanding of battery cell chemistry, module/pack architecture, BMS functionality, and HV safety concepts Hands-on experience with battery test equipment including cyclers, environmental chambers, HV measurement systems, and DAQ Working knowledge of global battery testing and safety standards (UN, SAE, IEC, UL) Demonstrated experience leading validation activities and providing technical direction Vector CANape, CANalyzer, CANoe ETAS INCA, ATI Vision, HBK Perception MATLAB / Simulink for data analysis, automation, and modeling Experience with battery cyclers, insulation monitoring devices, HV interlock systems, and thermal measurement equipment Strong understanding of automotive networks (e.g., CAN, LIN, FlexRay, Ethernet) Preferred Experience: Experience supporting EMC/EMI testing as it relates to battery systems, BMS, and high-voltage components Familiarity with CISPR 25, ISO 11452, ISO 7637, and OEM-specific EMC requirements impacting battery packs and HV architectures Experience troubleshooting EMC-related issues such as conducted and radiated emissions, grounding, shielding, and cable routing Exposure to battery system design-for-EMC considerations and test support during vehicle-level EMC campaigns

Responsibilities

The engineer will lead the validation and testing of high-voltage battery systems for electric vehicle programs, serving as a technical authority for test planning, execution, and data analysis across various battery levels.
