Senior Battery Engineer

Design battery systems built for the world's toughest environments.

Motive Workforce is partnering with an innovative Southern California technology company developing advanced battery systems for defense and commercial applications.

This is an opportunity to join a small, highly collaborative engineering team where you'll help develop next-generation battery technologies from concept through production. You'll work across electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, and software disciplines to create rugged energy systems designed for mission-critical applications.

If you're passionate about battery technology and enjoy solving complex engineering challenges in a fast-moving startup environment, we'd like to hear from you.

What You'll Do

• Lead the design and commercialization of advanced rechargeable battery systems from concept through production.
• Translate customer requirements into manufacturable battery solutions optimized for performance, reliability, safety, and cost.
• Design battery packs, electrical architectures, wiring diagrams, and system schematics.
• Develop manufacturing processes, work instructions, quality documentation, and safety procedures.
• Analyze battery performance using data-driven engineering methods.
• Collaborate with cell suppliers, manufacturing partners, and multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Support technical proposals, customer demonstrations, and engineering documentation.
• Contribute to patents, technical publications, and regulatory documentation.
• Mentor junior engineers as the engineering organization continues to grow.
