Director Integration Engineering

Responsibilities

• Standardize Testing Frameworks: Shift the integration testing infrastructure from custom, project-based testing to repeatable, rigorous validation roadmaps optimized for high-volume production scaling.
• Owes the Infrastructure: Oversee and actively contribute to the design, build, and automation of internal test environments, including Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) setups and custom test fixtures.
• Cross-Functional Alignment: Serve as the primary, direct technical interface between hardware design, embedded software, and manufacturing to resolve integration challenges early in the product lifecycle.
• Execute Product Integration: Direct and physically support the engineering work required to integrate Acculon battery systems into customer vehicles, heavy machinery, and industrial equipment.
• System-Level Troubleshooting: Maintain a strong, daily presence in the lab and field. Actively diagnose system-level issues, debug firmware-to-hardware interfaces, and isolate communication bottlenecks.
• Calibration & Configuration: Develop and deploy production-ready software and firmware calibrations customized for specific customer application profiles.
• Manage and Grow a Team: Lead and mentor a small, highly accountable team of integration and validation engineers. Focus on setting clear technical objectives and removing operational roadblocks.
• Operational Documentation: Establish clean, straightforward documentation practices for test procedures, integration manuals, and system configurations to facilitate operational scaling.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of experience in battery systems, automotive engineering, vehicle calibration, electrification, or complex mechatronics.
• 4+ years of direct team leadership or engineering management experience.
• Proven experience working in environments transitioning from custom prototype engineering services to formalized production product releases.
• Advanced hands-on experience using protocol analyzers, oscilloscopes, multimeters and calibration tools such as ETAS INCA.
• Tech mastery of CAN, SPI, I2C, and automotive communication standards.
• Direct experience reading electrical schematics, interpreting datasheets, and debugging embedded C code on microcontrollers.
• Solid operational understanding of Battery Management Systems (BMS) architecture, safety state machines, and power electronics.
• Familiarity with safety-critical development standards (e.g., ISO 26262, IEC 61508).
• Exceptional problem-solving skills and a methodical approach to debugging complex, integrated systems.
• US Citizen or Permanent Resident.
• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
