Role overview

Battery Pack Engineers spec, design, and validate the cell-to-pack architecture that decides an EV's range, performance, and safety envelope. The role is core to OEM teams and to Tier-1 battery suppliers. Engineers with hardware + thermal + electrical depth command top-percentile salaries.

Required skills

  • Cell chemistry selection (NMC, LFP, LCO trade-offs)
  • Pack architecture (cell-to-pack vs modular)
  • Thermal management (liquid cooling, phase change, air)
  • Pack-level safety: fault propagation, isolation, vent paths
  • Mechanical CAD + SolidWorks for enclosure design
  • Validation: cycling, abuse, drop, thermal-shock tests

Tools + hardware you'll master

Every learner ships with the same kit + lab access engineers use in industry.

Hands-on projects you'll ship

  • Project

    48V battery pack from cell selection to validation

    Working 2.5 kWh pack with BMS integration

  • Project

    Thermal CFD on a 22-cell module

    Steady-state temp <55°C under 1C discharge

  • Project

    Pack abuse simulation

    ANSYS run + tabulated fault propagation
