Remanufacturing Engineer, HV Battery

Responsibilities

• Engineering Oversight: Own the components and assemblies for HV battery packs, specifically focusing on the transition from failed field units to certified remanufactured assets.
• Root Cause & Resolution: Lead deep-dive investigations into electro-mechanical failures. Identify functional issues impacting production and implement engineering solutions to resolve them.
• Continuous Improvement: Leverage your previous experience to lead projects that improve battery yield, reduce waste, and optimize assembly processes.
• Cross-Functional Bridge: Serve as the technical link between Process/Test Engineering and Technical Operations. Translate complex engineering requirements into actionable procedures for the production floor.
• Supplier & Lifecycle Management: Manage suppliers for rapid change implementation and provide a critical feedback loop to Product Development teams to prevent issue recurrence in future vehicle generations.
• Provide on-site engineering support for High Voltage Battery assemblies and components in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, covering series production and legacy products.
• Perform technical analyses, document issues, prioritize and escalate to the appropriate assignee.
• Accurately and clearly communicate detailed steps taken to verify issues.
• Collaborate with the Reman team onsite in Kentucky along with Manufacturing, Process, and Quality teams to resolve issues related to failed High Voltage Battery assemblies and components.
• Assemble, maintain, and/or modify test equipment and data acquisition systems as needed.
• Comfortable working in a small-team environment where individuals are expected to fill the needs of multiple roles to ensure program success.
• May perform other duties as assigned.
