We solve the problems others choose to ignore, developing innovative products and technologies that are different, better and designed around real user needs. Our Research, Design and Development teams combine design, engineering and manufacturing expertise to take products from early concept through to production.\nAbout the Role\nLead the Battery Systems organisation in Singapore, setting the technical direction, engineering standards and delivery model for safe, robust and competitive battery-powered products. The role combines organisational leadership with deep system-level engineering accountability across battery packs, cells, BMS hardware, charging, wireless charging, product integration, supplier/JDM delivery and lifecycle quality.\nThis leader will turn complex and sometimes ambiguous product needs into clear architecture, evidence-based decisions and dependable execution. They will build a resilient team, challenge weak assumptions, protect safety and compliance, and ensure that technical choices remain balanced across performance, runtime, thermal behaviour, reliability, manufacturability, cost and programme timing.\nKey responsibilities\nPeople and organisational leadership\nLead, coach and develop a multidisciplinary Battery Systems organisation spanning battery-pack engineering, BMS hardware, power electronics, charging, wireless charging, system integration, verification and technical supplier engagement. \nSet a clear organisation vision and translate the battery strategy into capability plans, resource priorities, hiring, succession, technical leadership and sustainable workload allocation. \nBuild a high-trust, high-accountability culture where engineers share evidence, challenge constructively, make risks visible and take ownership through to verified closure. \nDevelop senior engineers and technical leaders who can make sound architecture decisions, lead critical reviews, mentor others and represent Battery Systems confidently across the business. \nIdentify single points of dependency, skills gaps and capacity constraints early; establish credible recovery, cross-training and external-partner plans rather than relying on individual heroics. \nCreate clear objectives, decision rights and operating rhythms across teams, with transparent prioritisation when demand exceeds capacity. \nBattery systems strategy and architecture\nOwn and evolve the battery-systems technical strategy across product categories, including pack architecture, cell and chemistry choices, BMS platforms, charger architecture, wireless charging, power budgets, interfaces and technology roadmaps. \nLead system trade-offs across safety, performance, runtime, thermal behaviour, ageing, reliability, user experience, size, weight, cost, serviceability and manufacturing readiness. \nEnsure architecture decisions are supported by requirements, modelling, tolerance analysis, test evidence and clearly documented assumptions, limitations and residual risks. \nDrive platform reuse and modularity where this strengthens quality and speed, while preventing inappropriate reuse where product duty cycles, safety needs or interfaces differ. \nMaintain forward-looking awareness of lithium-ion and emerging chemistries, battery electronics, charging technologies, wireless power, semiconductor roadmaps and supplier capability. \nTechnical governance, safety and engineering quality\nProvide senior technical governance across battery packs, BMS electronics and firmware, chargers and wireless power systems, including critical design, architecture, verification and release reviews. \nEnsure product safety is designed in through robust protection concepts, fault analysis, abuse and lifecycle considerations, thermal controls, safe-state behaviour, traceable requirements and objective validation evidence. \nOwn the quality of technical decision-making, ensuring teams distinguish facts from assumptions, define decision criteria, close evidence gaps and escalate unresolved safety, compliance or delivery risks promptly. \nPartner with Product Safety, Quality, Compliance and category engineering teams to support safety reviews, risk registers, certification evidence, deviations, concessions, change control and technical approvals. \nEnsure strong engineering discipline in requirements management, interface control, configuration management, design documentation, review records, Jira/Confluence/PLM traceability and lessons learned. \nLead or support complex root-cause investigations involving field, factory or validation failures, bringing together product data, production evidence, laboratory analysis and supplier expertise to drive containment and permanent corrective action. \nPortfolio delivery and product integration\nOwn delivery across a significant portfolio of battery and charging programmes, ensuring clear status, milestones, owners, risks, dependencies and decisions across new-product development, lifecycle, cost-down and quality work. \nProvide decisive leadership when programmes face conflicting architecture proposals, incomplete evidence, prototype failures, late requirements or constrained resources. \nEnsure disciplined end-to-end integration between cells, battery pack, BMS hardware, chargers, product electronics, motors, thermal systems, mechanical packaging and product controls, with clear interfaces to the separately managed BMS software organisation. \nEstablish credible verification and validation strategies covering normal use, foreseeable misuse, ageing, environmental exposure, manufacturing variation, interfaces and critical failure modes. \nBalance immediate programme recovery with longer-term platform integrity, technical debt reduction and capability development. \nCommunicate engineering status, options, recommendation, residual risk and required decisions clearly to programme leadership and senior management. \nSuppliers, JDMs and supply-chain resilience\nLead technical relationships with battery-pack manufacturers, JDM/ODM partners, cell suppliers, BMS IC vendors, charger and wireless-power suppliers, contract manufacturers and test partners. \nDefine technical due diligence and qualification expectations covering design ownership, cell selection, BMS architecture, manufacturing controls, validation capability, contamination control, process quality, traceability and corrective-action maturity. \nBuild robust sourcing strategies for critical components and battery platforms, including second-source options, obsolescence, long-lead parts, qualification plans and supplier-change governance. \nHold suppliers accountable for objective evidence, disciplined problem solving, timely technical closure and implementation of approved design or process changes. \nPartner with Procurement, Quality, Operations and Finance to align technical readiness with commercial decisions, capacity, investment, cost-down and production ramp. \nBusiness and functional management\nOwn resource and demand planning for the function, making explicit what can be committed, what requires additional capability and what must be paused or deprioritised. \nContribute to OPEX, CAPEX, laboratory and equipment plans, ensuring investment requests are supported by clear engineering and business justification. \nEstablish effective governance, dashboards, portfolio reviews and escalation routes without creating unnecessary process overhead. \nSupport laboratory, HSE and competency expectations associated with battery, power-electronics and high-energy test activities. \nRepresent Battery Systems in cross-functional leadership forums and build strong working relationships across Singapore, Malaysia, China and global engineering teams. \nAbout you\nYou are an
