• Collaborate with cross-functional and international project teams to ensure effective integration of HV systems.
• Work closely with global engineering teams to share knowledge, best practices, and support international projects.
• Interact directly with customers to gather requirements, clarify technical specifications, and present solutions related to batteries and HV systems.
• Provide technical support and troubleshooting for battery systems, high voltage systems, and test systems.
• Support the integration of HV components such as batteries, chargers, inverters, DC/DC converters, Power Distribution Units (PDUs), and related control systems.
• Ensure compliance with applicable high voltage safety standards, electrical regulations, battery safety requirements, and customer specifications.
• Participate in hazard analysis, system-level risk assessments, and safety reviews of HV systems.
• Support the definition and implementation of HV safety concepts, including electrical isolation, interlock systems, grounding, protection strategies, and safe operating procedures.
• Collaborate with manufacturing and commissioning teams to ensure effective industrialisation of solutions and proper transfer to production and installation environments.
• Provide technical support during installation, commissioning, and validation activities.
• Identify and resolve complex issues with HV systems through root cause analysis and structured problem-solving methodologies.
• Implement corrective and preventive actions to improve reliability, safety, and performance of systems.
• Promote the reuse of best practices, methodologies, and solutions developed in other projects and within global organisations.
• Prepare technical instructions and engineering documentation, considering functional requirements, planning, quality, and safety.
• Provide technical clarifications to customers regarding system requirements, functionality, interfaces, and HV safety aspects.
• Perform breakdown of requirements, functions, and system architecture into engineering work packages.
• Continuously analyse project requirements, customer use cases, operational scenarios, and functional specifications.
• Plan, coordinate, and review integration, verification, validation, and acceptance activities for battery and high voltage systems.
• Support verification and validation activities for HV systems, including test planning, test execution, result analysis, reporting, and resolution of issues.
• Contribute to initiatives for optimising HV system performance, improving reliability, and technological innovation.

Requirements:

• Technical diploma and/or Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Energy Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or related disciplines.
• 4-7 years of experience in Battery Systems, High Voltage Systems, Electrification Systems, Energy Storage Systems, Automotive Systems Engineering, or equivalent sectors.
• Experience in developing battery systems, HV power distribution systems, charging systems, power electronics, or electric propulsion systems.
• Solid knowledge of high voltage electrical systems, HV safety principles, electrical protection concepts, and electrified vehicle architectures.
• Familiarity with Battery Management Systems (BMS), charging technologies, and energy storage systems.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and systemic approach skills.
• Availability for national and international travel.
• Fluent business English language skills.

We offer:

• Starting salary: 46,000€
• CCNL Metalmeccanico Industry collective agreement
