Architecture Lead, HV Battery

What you'll do

●Lead battery pack architecture layouts and tradeoff studies to ensure the battery can meet high
level power, energy, volume, mass, cycle life, cost, safety requirements.
●Own battery mechanical layout. Work with the vehicle layout team and other external
stakeholders to develop the battery pack interface points. Work with battery design engineers to
allocate space for thermal, structural, electrical components.
●Lead weekly battery pack CAD reviews and flythroughs. Ensure CAD cleanliness to Archer
standards.
●Collaborate with systems engineering teams to review/approve battery requirements, using
analysis/prototypes/experience to ensure the battery pack architecture can meet the intent
●Work with the test and integration teams to ensure performance requirements are met at both
the bench and aircraft levels
●Own the battery pack engineering BOM and control the release process.
●As architecture phase comes to completion, own the design/release of individual components
within the battery. Working with suppliers, supply chain, quality on DFM, cost, schedule,
component delivery.
●Work with the manufacturing engineering team to support process feasibility studies, prototype
builds, and launch of production site.

Requirements
●Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
●5+ years of mechanical design experience
●Experience with HV systems
●Expert understanding of efficient mechanical/thermal/electrical design.
●Knows how to use simplified tools, calculations, CAE to quickly drive development.
●Solid background in CAD / tolerance stack / GD&T (NX experience preferred)
●Been through the product development process from concept to high volume production.
●Developed parts with a number of manufacturing processes: laser welding, stamping,
composites, adhesives, brazing, ultrasonic welding, fastening.
●Familiar with UN38.3, IEC, UL, and ISO standards as they pertain to HV batteries.
