Job description

The Battery Pack Development Engineer is responsible for developing innovative BEV battery pack technologies for future integration into Stellantis vehicle programs. These new technologies and systems will enable the next generation of range, power, safety, and fast charge capability for Stellantis vehicles. The Battery Pack Development Engineer will generate new design concepts for the structure and thermal management around our battery cells. Job responsibilities include hardware design, coordination of simulations and analysis, coordination of prototype builds (module, pack, and vehicle level), execution of test plans for proof-of-concept, conducting risk analyses, and building a business case for future vehicle implementation. The Battery Pack Development Engineer may operate as a project leader, coordinating the activities of a cross‑functional team, and establishing goals/timelines to deliver new technologies through the Technology Readiness Level process.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics, Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace Engineering, or related Engineering field from an ABET accredited university
• 3 years minimum experience working with electric vehicle propulsion systems, consisting of a mix of computer aided design and analytical/simulation work
• General overall knowledge of vehicle chassis dynamics
• Fundamental knowledge of battery technologies and power electronics
• Outstanding problem solving and analytical skills
• Good teamwork skills and ability to work independently
• Self‑motivated and proactive
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including presentations to upper management

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master of Science in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering with a focus on automotive technology, or closely related discipline from an ABET accredited university
• Proficiency in CAD software tools for 3D visualization of design concepts
• 0D, 1D, or 3D simulation experience related to thermodynamics, NVH, or vehicle crash/crush structural analysis.
• 5+ years experience working with electric vehicle propulsion systems, consisting of a mix of computer aided design and analytical/simulation work
• Working knowledge of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics basic principles
