- Manage in‑house and external testing to meet standards and internal requirements.
- Support prototyping and validation of cells and pack assemblies.
- Collaborate with cross‑functional teams and suppliers on battery technology decisions.
- Provide production support, troubleshoot issues, and drive quality, reliability, and cost improvements.
- Solve complex technical problems and conduct root‑cause analyses.
- Mentor junior engineers and review their technical work.
- Communicate battery insights clearly to technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
- Contribute to innovation, proposing new chemistries and architectures.
- Operate with autonomy and accountability for high‑quality technical delivery.
