The Battery Management System (BMS) Hardware Design Release Engineer (DRE) for high-voltage battery hardware and integration in electric vehicles is a critical role responsible for the end-to-end management of the BMS electrical design, development, validation, and production release. This encompasses the battery pack assembly's BMS printed circuit boards (PCBs), Cell Supervisory Circuits (CSCs), and all related activities concerning the vehicle's electrical architecture, wiring, and busbars.

 

Position Requirements:

 

Lead the comprehensive design, development, and production release of all BMS hardware components, including master controllers, Cell Supervisory Circuits (CSCs), communication interfaces (CAN, SPI, I2C, Ethernet, Bluetooth, WLAN (IEEE 802.11)), power electronics, and sensing circuits (voltage, current, temperature).

Develop detailed technical specifications and engineering designs for BMS and CSC assemblies, encompassing PCBs, wireless protocols, thermal fuses, circuit protection devices, wiring, terminals, connectors, and assembly processes (laser welding, ultrasonic welding, soldering, crimping, orbital riveting, labeling). Conduct in-depth circuit analysis, simulations, and worst-case scenario analysis to ensure robust, reliable, and functionally safe designs, adhering to automotive standards like ISO 26262 Manage source packages, specifications, Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA), and Design Verification Plan & Report (DVP&R) through the complete product lifecycle, from sourcing approval to serial production.

Electrical Architecture & Integration:

Analyze circuits, busbars, wiring, and logic diagrams related to the high-voltage battery pack assembly as it pertains to BMS component hardware. Ensure seamless integration of BMS hardware with the overall vehicle electrical architecture, including interfacing with the vehicle control unit (VCU), on-board charger (OBC), DC/DC converters, and other high-voltage systems. Collaborate with mechanical and wiring DREs to optimize packaging, thermal management, vibration resilience, and harness routing for BMS hardware within the battery pack.

Validation, Testing & Troubleshooting:

Provide expert technical support for electrical/electronic testing, including circuit fatigue, Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), Radio Frequency Interference (RFI), and other critical validation tests. Lead and execute electronic system-level troubleshooting and complex function root cause analysis for embedded controls and high-voltage battery issues. Proficiently use development and diagnostic tools such as INCA, Vector tools (CANalyzer, CANoe), CDA, oscilloscopes, and other electrical root cause tools for data acquisition and analysis.

 

Manufacturing & Quality Support:

Collaborate closely with BMS software and hardware leads, Pack Integration and Module DREs, software engineers, chief engineers, and build coordinators to ensure the battery successfully passes End of Line (EOL) testing at pilot plants. Take the lead on systems-level battery issues, driving root cause identification and timely resolution to support high build efficiency and maintain product quality in manufacturing and battery assembly plants.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Process Improvement:

Apply a combination of systems engineering knowledge, analytical, and problem-solving skills to quickly define solutions within specific applications. Work effectively within a team environment with a proactive attitude, demonstrating excellent oral and written communication skills. Maintain a process-oriented approach with high attention to detail, applying robust application engineering principles.

Basic Qualifications:

Bachelors degree in electrical, mechanical engineering or a related degree field Minimum of 1 years in product engineering electrical design, development, and/or testing Demonstrated ability to analyze circuits, busbars, wiring, and logic diagrams pertaining to high-voltage battery pack assembly and BMS component hardware. Ability to provide technical support for electrical/electronic testing, including circuit fatigue, EMI, RFI, etc. Combination of systems engineering knowledge and strong analytical and problem-solving skills to quickly define solutions within a specific application. Excellent oral and written communication skills. Ability to work effectively within a team and with a proactive attitude. Proficiency with application engineering principles. Process-oriented, with high attention to detail.

 Preferred Qualifications:

Master degree in Electrical Engineering  Experience in the full product life cycle design and release using an automotive releasing system (e.g., FCA releasing system). Experience with data acquisition and proficiency in using development diagnostic tools and data acquisition tools such as INCA and Vector tools (CANalyzer, CANoe), and other electrical root cause tools (such as oscilloscopes). Direct High Voltage Battery or High Voltage powertrain experience in electric vehicles. EOE / Disability / Veteran
