HV Battery System

What awaits you/ Job Profile

• Own the complete mechanical design and integration of the HV battery system from concept to SOP.

• Develop battery-pack architecture, packaging concepts and vehicle interfaces.

• Design battery enclosures, covers, module mountings, cooling interfaces and protection structures.

• Translate system requirements into mechanical specifications and design solutions.

• Ensure compliance with safety, crash, durability, environmental and homologation requirements.

• Lead design reviews and coordinate with CAE, electrical, thermal, vehicle and manufacturing teams.

• Drive design for manufacturability, assembly, serviceability and cost optimization.

• Manage tolerance analysis, GD&T, interface control and dimensional validation.

• Support prototype builds, design validation, pilot production and production ramp-up.

• Lead technical issue resolution, design maturity and engineering changes through SOP.

What should you bring along

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Automotive, Production or related Engineering.

• 10 to 15 years of automotive product-development experience.

• Strong experience in HV battery mechanical design and vehicle integration.

• Proven exposure to the complete product lifecycle from concept to SOP.

• Sound knowledge of passenger-car development and production-release processes.

• Experience collaborating with vehicle, crash, thermal, electrical, CAE and manufacturing teams.

• Practical exposure to prototype builds, validation testing and production launch.

• Strong knowledge of automotive materials, joining methods, sealing and corrosion protection.

• Ability to balance safety, performance, weight, cost, quality and manufacturability.

• Strong technical leadership, problem-solving, communication and supplier-management skills.

Must have technical skill

• Expert-level proficiency in CATIA V5 and/or 3DEXPERIENCE.

• Strong capability in 3D modelling, assembly design, packaging and production drawings.

• Hands-on experience with Teamcenter for CAD, BOM, release and change management.

• In-depth knowledge of HV battery cell, module and pack construction.

• Experience in battery enclosure, cover, mounting and underbody protection design.

• Knowledge of cooling plates, sealing, venting and thermal-interface integration.

• Strong understanding of GD&T, datum strategy and tolerance stack-up.

• Knowledge of crash, vibration, shock, durability and underbody-impact load cases.

• Experience in Design for Manufacturing, Assembly and Serviceability.

• Working knowledge of DFMEA, DVP&R, design reviews and engineering change management.

Good to have Technical skills

• Knowledge of UN R100, AIS-038, ISO 6469 and relevant battery safety standards.

• Experience in battery structural, crash, vibration and fatigue CAE.

• Familiarity with Abaqus, LS-DYNA, ANSA, HyperMesh or equivalent tools.

• Knowledge of battery thermal management and cooling-system architecture.

• Experience with aluminium castings, extrusions, sheet metal and hybrid structures.

• Knowledge of adhesives, gaskets, sealing design and leak-testing methods.

• Familiarity with 3DCS, CETOL or other tolerance-analysis tools.

• Experience with APQP, PPAP, PFMEA and supplier-quality processes.

• Awareness of ISO 26262, systems engineering and requirement traceability.

• Experience in battery benchmarking, lightweighting, cost optimization and recyclability.
