The Battery Assistant Chief Engineer (ACE) is the owner for their assigned battery programs. In this assignment, the responsible battery products are typically serial life or modifications to existing batteries. In general, the ACE is responsible for defining, communicating, approving, and tracking adherence to battery and battery system level functional objectives, requirements and technical deliverables per required timing. This role is also the battery team's primary technical Interface to Vehicle & Powertrain Integration, Manufacturing, Purchasing, Electrical Eng Core, Electrification Powertrain team, Controls, Calibration, Quality, and EE Systems. The ACE addresses and presents battery technical items for reviews in high level meetings as needed.

The Candidate owns the approval of the battery/battery system technical requirements document, system testing and validation testing while leading a cross functional team and battery technical experts. A successful candidate will contribute to Open Points List meetings, Product Development Team technical reviews, evaluations, technical specification sign-offs and issue resolution. The ACE will instill accountability to priority actions and rapid turn of results for issues identified and is accountable for executing technical plans for simulation and testing for each phase of the program while supporting adherence to timing and cost objectives which includes post-test inspection reviews and any detailed failure analysis. Coordinates the assembly of evidence for validation sign off that all technical requirements have been met or have approved deviations.

The candidate will co-lead Hybrid Battery Pack Projects alongside the HW/SW Design Responsible Engineers and controls Features Engineers. An example of the tasks performed are:

Prototype build plans, bench and HIL testing plans, and manage/communicate issue resolution.

Schedule & attend design reviews ahead of ordering proto parts, author minutes with action items/follow up for each design review and follow up on action item closure.

Candidate will also discuss with manufacturing teams to ensure designs are robust to customer requirements, and can be manufactured/assembled without defect.

Also includes leadership in continuous improvement initiatives, technical cost reductions, bulletins and supporting vehicle assembly plant launches.

Leads coordination with Vehicle/Powertrain Team on vehicle program Packaging studies.

Responsible for organizing and conducting supplier selection technical reviews.

Reviews, approves & tracks the System Design Validation Plan & Report (DVP&R) and supports the development of the component DVP&Rs.

Execute standardization plans and reuse of validated subcomponents.

Reviews and edits Vehicle Owner's Manual Documentation. Execute these tasks with strong leadership abilities and outstanding teamwork/communication skills.
