High Voltage Battery Design Engineer

The role supports the development of an advanced automotive battery system during a vehicle development program. The role combines detailed design of high-voltage connections and junction systems with creation and release of manufacturing-ready 2D drawings to support prototype builds and production preparation.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop high-voltage battery connection systems, including HV junction boxes, module-to-HVJB connections, signal routing, and high-voltage current paths to the vehicle interface.
• Define positioning, interfaces, and types of electrical connections within the battery system, ensuring alignment with vehicle integration requirements.
• Produce and release 3D designs and 2D drawings to support prototype builds, supplier quoting, manufacturing, and component verification.
• Ensure compliance with creepage and clearance requirements, as well as EMC and corrosion considerations.
• Perform creepage and clearance analysis, contribute to component specifications, and support FMEA activities to identify potential failure modes.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, and suppliers to ensure design feasibility, manufacturability, and serviceability.
• Act as a reference point for drawing releases and documentation, ensuring alignment with internal standards and stakeholder requirements.

Requirements

• Degree in Engineering (Automotive, Mechanical, Electrical, or related field).
• Experience in automotive engineering, preferably in high-voltage battery systems.
• Knowledge of GD&T and technical drawing creation for manufacturing.
• Strong understanding of creepage and clearance requirements in high-voltage systems.
• Familiarity with EMC considerations, corrosion aspects, manufacturing processes, and serviceability.
• Experience producing 3D designs and detailed 2D drawings for prototype and production environments.
• Ability to work in a cross-functional development environment with suppliers and manufacturing stakeholders.

Location: Candidates may start working remotely from Italy, with the expectation to relocate to California at a later stage of the project.
