Job description

Staff / Principal Battery Systems Engineer – Performance & Integration

This role offers the opportunity to move beyond ownership of an individual subsystem and have broader influence over battery system architecture, performance, customer integration, and technical decision-making.

Key Responsibilities
  • Gotion is strengthening its North American EV engineering organization to support next-generation battery programs with leading automotive customers.
  • We are looking for an experienced Staff / Principal Battery Systems Engineer – Performance & Integration to serve as a key technical owner for HV battery system performance and integration in North America.
  • This is not a component-level design or test-only role. You will work at the intersection of vehicle requirements, battery cells, pack systems, BMS/controls, thermal systems, and validation, translating customer vehicle-level requirements into battery system targets and driving technical decisions through development, validation, and vehicle integration.
  • The role will have significant visibility with both customers and Gotion’s global engineering teams and offers the opportunity to help shape our North American battery systems engineering capability.
Requirements
  • We are particularly interested in engineers who have moved beyond a single component or discipline and can think across the complete battery system.
  • What does the vehicle need? What must the battery system deliver? What does that mean for the pack, cells, BMS, thermal system and validation strategy?
  • You should be comfortable taking ownership of ambiguous system-level problems, bringing the right technical teams together, making engineering trade-offs, and driving issues through resolution.
