About the role
- System Architecture Definition
Define the overall battery pack architecture, including:
Electrical topology (series/parallel configuration, HV/LV interfaces)
Mechanical concept (modules integration, pack integration, pack enclosure design)
Busbar routing
Thermal architecture
Ensure consistency between cells, BMS, power electronics, and system-level requirements
Drive architectural trade-offs considering performance, cost, risk, manufacturability (ergonomic, value chain, process flow chart) and industrial constraints (existing means compatibility)
- Requirements & Performance Management
Define and cascade system requirements
In charge of design justification document as well as its integration into PLM
Ensure requirements traceability across the system
Define and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) for the battery pack
- Multi-Domain System Integration
Ensure proper integration of all subsystems:
Cells
BMS
Thermal system
High-voltage components (contactors, fuses, etc.)
Manage critical interfaces (electrical, thermal, mechanical, communication)
Guarantee system behavior under all operating conditions (normal and fault cases)
- Safety & Compliance
Integrate safety constraints from early design stages:
Define mitigation strategies (detection, isolation, protection mechanisms)
Ensure compliance with relevant standards and regulations
- Technical Leadership & Risk Management
Identify and manage technical risks across the system
Drive key trade-offs (cost vs performance vs safety)
Lead architecture and design reviews
Support high-level product and technical decisions
