? As a Battery System engineer, you are responsible for customer-relevant KPIs of your battery project, e.g. energy content, discharging and charging power performance, lifecycle performance and thermal behavior.
? We are covering the whole development phase from technical concept to series production and the whole validation scope from simulation to battery and vehicle level testing.
? You will be responsible to work and connect between major stakeholders (e.g. drivetrain and carline), risks and deliver measurable outcomes against project milestones.
? Objectives include High Voltage Battery System engineering and technical development, requirements management, supplier steering, internal coordination and alignment with relevant stakeholders as well as management reporting
System engineering and technical development
? Define and review technical concepts, develop and implement improvement measures focusing on energy, thermal and reliability system related topics
? Align System related specifications with drivetrain, vehicle departments and other stakeholders
? Distribute system requirements to sub-systems and components (e.g. cell) and integrate into HW&SW functions to fulfill system target
? Monitor requirement fulfillment, steer failure/root-cause analysis
? Collaborate with related departments (China, Germany), align with other work packages, stakeholders, etc.
? Analyze and process battery and vehicle level test data
? Support project team for battery system related topics
Supplier steering
? Steer relevant suppliers and engineering service providers for the development
? Track and evaluate the work performed and the overall project process
? Lead regular communication between MB project team and suppliers
? Create necessary documentation for project work
Internal coordination and alignment
? Align the work scope and results at each relevant phase within RD China
? Work together with cross-functional departments, set up project milestones as well as coordinate activities to pursue tight time schedules
Reporting
? Prepare the necessary materials to report the Energy System development status as well as the status of specific topics at RD China internal reviews as well as other management committees within Mercedes-Benz
? Align and present the materials to all relevant parties
