Our work spans novel battery pack architecture, full-stack software, and automated manufacturing, with the goal of making machines lighter, safer, and more capable.\nWe're building something ambitious, and we're still early. That means real ownership, difficult technical problems, and the opportunity to see your work move from an idea to something real. We value people who think beyond their job description, challenge conventional approaches, and follow through on what they take on.\nBuild something exceptional. Own your work. See it move.\nAbout the Role\nAs Senior Manager for Battery Design Engineering, you will be a hands-on contributor to Brelle’s battery systems - working through architecture decisions and staying close to the engineering details as module and pack development moves from concept to production across mechanical, electrical, thermal, and safety domains. You’ll also lead a small engineering team, acting as an approachable, guiding mentor who works alongside them rather than directing from a distance.\nWhat You'll Do\nDesign and develop battery module and pack architecture - cell integration, thermal management, HV safety, electromechanical systems, and structural design\n\nWork through architecture trade-offs across energy density, weight, thermal performance, cost, safety, and manufacturability, and drive them to a decision\n\nRun design reviews and engineering processes - DFMEA, DVP&R, design release, and certification/homologation - with a hands-on role in the actual analysis and documentation, not just process oversight\n\nSet and uphold design standards and review cadences that embed safety and quality into rapid iteration\n\nGet hands-on with hardware and analysis - prototyping, testing, debugging, and iterating alongside the team\n\nGuide technical direction for the battery systems roadmap, in close coordination with product and program priorities\n\nCoordinate milestones and dependencies across mechanical, electrical, thermal, and structural workstreams to keep delivery on track\n\nLead and grow a small battery engineering team - hiring and developing talented engineers, and staying closely involved in their day-to-day work\n\nBe an approachable, hands-on leader who works alongside the team, not just directing from above - someone engineers can bring problems to and dig into solutions with\n\nFoster a culture of technical excellence and intellectual honesty, where engineers are encouraged to challenge assumptions and pursue novel solutions\n\nWhat We're Looking For\n7+ years of experience in battery pack/module design and development\n\nBS or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field\n\nDeep expertise across battery system architecture: cell integration, thermal management, HV safety, and structural design\n\nAdvanced CAD proficiency with the ability to engage at the design detail level\n\nStrong understanding of DFM across multiple processes: injection molding, stamping, casting, composites, machining\n\nHow We Work\nUnderstand the Problem \nWe take the time to understand what we're actually solving before jumping to the obvious answer.\nOwn What Needs to Happen \nWe take responsibility for outcomes, not just our individual tasks. If something needs to happen, we figure out how to make it happen.\nOptimize for the Team \nWe make decisions with the broader team and company in mind, sharing information and helping each other move faster.\nRefuse the Obvious Answer \nWe challenge assumptions, explore better approaches, and don't accept \"that's how it's always been done.\"\nKeep Your Word \nWe do what we say we'll do. We communicate early when something changes and hold ourselves accountable to our commitments.\nCompensation & Benefits\nBase Salary: $170,000 - $200,000\nMeaningful equity participation through Brelle's Employee Incentive Plan.\nMedical, dental, and vision (HMO/PPO)\n\n401(k)\n\nFlexible PTO\n\nTeam meals twice a week\n\nMonthly team events\n\nBuild something exceptional. Own your work. See it move.\nBrelle is an equal opportunity employer.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4562,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Energy Storage","Energy Management"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T13:21:35Z"},{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-22T18:57:03Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 2","filings_12m":2,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":112500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-12T07:36:15+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":15,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.544,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":67,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T05:49:22Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":200000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/brelle-senior-manager-battery-design-engineering","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/brelle-senior-manager-battery-design-engineering.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T08:11:07Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":16418,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":670466},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=670466"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbrelle-senior-manager-battery-design-engineering"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbrelle-senior-manager-battery-design-engineering"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbrelle-senior-manager-battery-design-engineering"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/brelle-senior-manager-battery-design-engineering\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbrelle-senior-manager-battery-design-engineering"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":822674}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"brelle.tech","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":822674},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
