About the role

  • Cell Product Design Engineer at SES, specializing in Li-ion battery design for innovative applications. Contributing to AI-enhanced battery development to accelerate global energy transition.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the technical design of pouch-type Li-ion battery cells, focusing on applications for EV (Electric Vehicle) and ESS/UAM (Energy Storage Systems/Urban Air Mobility).
  • Manage the complete battery product lifecycle, from initial concept and prototype development through validation and successful mass production scale-up.
  • Design and validate NCM-based pouch cells and contribute to the delivery of commercial platforms (e.g., scooters, e-bikes, EVs).
  • Drive the NPI process, ensuring robust design practices are followed from the earliest stages.
  • Implement and utilize key quality and safety assurance methodologies, including DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and DVP&R (Design Verification Plan and Report).
  • Work cross-functionally with R&D, testing, and manufacturing teams to capture design inputs, define product specifications, and ensure alignment between technical feasibility, safety, and customer performance requirements.

Requirements

  • Education: M.S. in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related engineering field. A B.S. in Inorganic Nonmetallic Materials Engineering or equivalent is required.
  • Core Expertise: Deep, hands-on expertise in pouch-type Li-ion battery cell design and NCM-based cell validation.
  • Product Lifecycle: Proven experience managing the full battery product lifecycle, including NPI (New Product Introduction) from prototype to mass production.
  • Quality Systems: Direct experience implementing quality methodologies such as DFMEA and DVP&R within a manufacturing or R&D environment.
  • Domain Focus: Strong foundational knowledge of Battery Chemistry and its application to high-performance cell design for EV and ESS/UAM.

Benefits

  • A highly competitive salary and robust benefits package, including comprehensive health coverage and an attractive equity/stock options program within our NYSE-listed company.
  • The opportunity to contribute directly to a meaningful scientific project—accelerating the global energy transition—with a clear and broad public impact.
  • Work in a dynamic, collaborative, and innovative environment at the intersection of AI and material science, driving the next generation of battery technology.
  • Significant opportunities for professional growth and career development as you work alongside leading experts in AI, R&D, and engineering.
  • Access to state-of-the-art facilities and proprietary technologies are used to discover and deploy AI-enhanced battery solutions.
