Design, Development & Release

• Lead the design, development, integration, and release of the HV battery pack.
• Lead and execute battery pack architecture design and system-level integration activities.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for DREs responsible for HV battery pack hardware components and assembly.
• Interface with individual COEs and component engineering teams to ensure system-level alignment.
• Lead cross-functional DRE teams to complete program deliverables and resolve technical issues.
• Guide technical discussions during design meetings and lead design folder reviews with DREs.
• Ensure component engineering activities follow applicable FO, EDP, GDAP, DFMEA, and DVP&R processes.
• Lead pack assembly-level DFMEA and support design robustness activities.
• Ensure DREs appropriately utilize CAE tools to support design development and validation.
• Ensure completion of pack and component evaluations following validation testing.

Engineering Change, BOM & Configuration Management

• Manage and facilitate component engineering S2IRIUS(GIM) activities.
• Manage DRE CCD and CN lists, coordinating changes to minimize CN stacking.
• Ensure HV battery pack BOMs contain the correct content and configuration across applicable vehicle platforms.
• Facilitate and coordinate EBOM and Build BOM activities.
• Facilitate component TKO activities.

Supplier & Procurement Management

• Develop and manage supplier EDD SOWs/contracts and lead EDD activities.
• Manage supplier launch readiness and support resolution of supplier-related technical issues.
• Coordinate and confirm prototype hardware orders and procurement.
• Support component engineering APQP activities with suppliers.

Vehicle Integration & Cross-Functional Coordination

• Serve as the HV battery pack hardware point of contact for external and cross-functional teams.
• Participate in vehicle team and design integration meetings.
• Coordinate with ACE on vehicle packaging and integration.
• Support resolution of vehicle-level packaging, interface, and HV battery hardware issues.

Manufacturing, Build & Launch Support

• Support prototype pack builds, manufacturing builds through program development and Job 1 plus serial life.
• Provide on-site plant support for prototype/program builds and Job 1, including extended support at the CTC pilot plant as required.
• Coordinate technical issue resolution between DREs, suppliers, manufacturing, and vehicle teams during builds and launch.
• Support supplier and component launch readiness.

Cost, Quality & Continuous Improvement

• Support product cost management and cost optimization activities.
• Support Technical Cost Reduction (TCR) initiatives.
• Support benchmarking of competitive HV battery packs and technologies.
• Support component engineering quality and APQP deliverables throughout product development.
