You drive key design decisions by balancing electrochemical, electrical, thermal, mechanical, and safety constraints to deliver a solution that is safe, high-performing, manufacturable, and cost-effective.\nYou act as a cross-functional technical leader and the main guarantor of the system-level vision.\nMain responsibilities :\n1. System Architecture Definition\nDefine the overall battery pack architecture, including:\nElectrical topology (series/parallel configuration, HV/LV interfaces)\nMechanical concept (modules integration, pack integration, pack enclosure design)\nBusbar routing\nThermal architecture\nEnsure consistency between cells, BMS, power electronics, and system-level requirements\nDrive architectural trade-offs considering performance, cost, risk, manufacturability (ergonomic, value chain, process flow chart) and industrial constraints (existing means compatibility)\n2. Requirements & Performance Management\nDefine and cascade system requirements\nIn charge of design justification document as well as its integration into PLM\nEnsure requirements traceability across the system\nDefine and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) for the battery pack\n3. Multi-Domain System Integration\nEnsure proper integration of all subsystems:\nCells\nBMS\nThermal system\nHigh-voltage components (contactors, fuses, etc.)\nManage critical interfaces (electrical, thermal, mechanical, communication)\nGuarantee system behavior under all operating conditions (normal and fault cases)\n4. Safety & Compliance\nIntegrate safety constraints from early design stages:\nDefine mitigation strategies (detection, isolation, protection mechanisms)\nEnsure compliance with relevant standards and regulations\n5. Technical Leadership & Risk Management\nIdentify and manage technical risks across the system\nDrive key trade-offs (cost vs performance vs safety)\nLead architecture and design reviews\nSupport high-level product and technical decisions\nRequirements :\nMaster’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or equivalent.\nMinimum of 5 years of experience in battery system architecture, with at least 5 years owning system architecture on complete pack programs.\nAn experience with EV OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, or pack integrators is preferred.\nProven greenfield program experience (building a product from scratch).\nFluent English mandatory.\nWillingness to travel to customers and suppliers internationally.\nKnowledge of applicable standards: IEC 62619, UN 38.3, GB38031, ECE R100, ISO 26262 fundamentals.\nRequired management tools: DOORS, Polarion, or Jama. JIRA or an equivalent for project tracking.\nProven knowledge in high-voltage battery pack design and development and battery pack mechanical design\nGood understanding in battery pack main characteristics sizing, thermal management, and system-level validation (components to full battery pack)\nFamiliarity with the simulation approach and DFMEA\nFunctional safety fundamentals (HARA, ASIL allocation)\nKnowledge of CATIA V5/SolidWorks (system & electrical layout), and MATLAB/Simulink (pack performance simulation","description_format":"text","description_chars":3238,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Energy Storage"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-10T23:56:28Z"},{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-21T12:43:11Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":28,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.766,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":157,"expected_fill_days":96,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-09T06:03:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/verkor-battery-pack-architect-mf","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/verkor-battery-pack-architect-mf.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-09T06:27:10Z","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":2610,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-10T00:00:00Z"}},"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":685228},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=685228"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fverkor-battery-pack-architect-mf"},{"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%2Fverkor-battery-pack-architect-mf"},{"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%2Fverkor-battery-pack-architect-mf"},{"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/verkor-battery-pack-architect-mf\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fverkor-battery-pack-architect-mf"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":683477}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"verkor.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":683477},"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.
