Senior Battery Engineer

Anduril Anduril · Defense · Costa Mesa, CA · Hardware Engineering : Electrical Engineering : Battery Electrical Engineering

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company seeking an experienced Systems Engineer with expertise in energy storage subsystem development. The role involves end-to-end energy storage system (ESS) development, from concept to production, including requirements definition, battery cell selection, BMS design and validation, and sustaining fielded ESSs. Experience with defense, aerospace, industrial, or electrification industries is preferred. The role requires a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Physical Sciences with 5+ years of experience in energy storage systems.

What you'd actually do

  1. Drive end-to-end energy storage system (ESS) development on extremely accelerated timelines
  2. Collaborate with program teams to define actionable ESS requirements from user story/CONOPs
  3. Execute and/or deliver the following ESS development artifacts/steps: - ESS requirements, battery cell selection and validation - Familiarity with ESS architecture and design concepts - Battery management system (BMS) requirements, BMS HW and FW/SW design, BMS SW feature plan/roadmap, BMS validation plan at bench and HIL level - Cell, module, and pack level validation plan. Support bring-up, test, debug, and vehicle integration - Ramp plan from development units to production
  4. Sustain fielded ESSs with root cause analysis and data processing, drive countermeasures/design updates as needed
