Job Title: Sr. Engineer – BESS Battery Pack Design, Testing & Validation
Location: Bangalore
Job Type: Full-time
Experience: 3+ years preferred

About the Role:
We are hiring a Senior Engineer with in-depth expertise in the design, testing, and
validation of battery packs for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). This role
will be responsible for developing safe, reliable, and high-performance lithium-ion battery
pack systems—from cell selection and mechanical/electrical design to testing, validation,
and compliance.
The ideal candidate will work cross-functionally with R&D, manufacturing, and QA/QC
teams to deliver battery pack solutions that meet performance, safety, thermal, and
regulatory standards for grid-scale, commercial and industrial applications.

Key Responsibilities:
Design battery pack architecture (cell-to-module, module-to-pack)
including mechanical layout, electrical schematics, and thermal systems.
Select appropriate cells (LFP, NMC, etc.) based on application-specific
performance and safety criteria.
Integrate and validate Battery Management Systems (BMS), thermal
protection, contactors, and fuse logic.
Collaborate with mechanical design teams on enclosures, structural
integrity, and thermal management.
Define and execute DFMEA, validation plans, and test protocols for pack-
level performance, lifecycle, thermal, and abuse tests.
Lead charge/discharge cycle testing, aging studies, and thermal runaway
simulations.
Coordinate with external labs for certifications (e.g., UL 9540A, UN38.3, IEC
62619, etc.).
Analyze test data for SoH, SoC, degradation, impedance, and thermal
characteristics.
Generate detailed design reports, validation reports, and compliance
documentation.
Work with component vendors (cells, BMS, thermal materials) for
specifications, sourcing, and testing.
Interface with internal engineering, field, and manufacturing teams to
integrate design feedback and optimize production feasibility

Required Qualifications:
B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Electrical, Electronics, Power Systems, or Mechatronics.
3+ years’ experience in battery pack design, thermal/electrical integration, and validation.
Deep understanding of Li-ion chemistry (LFP/NMC) , Li-ion cell behaviour, SoC/SoH metrics, and degradation mechanisms.
Strong knowledge of BMS design, CAN communication, and thermal runaway mitigation.
