Battery Integration Engineer
Maidenhead | Onsite | 9-Day Fortnight | Salary Negotiable
Most battery engineering roles involve optimising an existing product.
This role is about creating the next one.
We’re supporting a pioneering company developing some of the most advanced UAV platforms operating anywhere in the world today.
As part of a growing Concept Development team, you’ll take ownership of battery systems from initial requirements through to flight-ready hardware.
Unlike many organisations where battery engineers sit in a narrow specialist function, here you’ll work closely with propulsion, avionics, mechanical and flight test teams, seeing your designs progress rapidly from concept to airborne reality.
What you’ll be doing:
- Designing and integrating advanced battery pack solutions from concept through to production
- Developing battery architectures using pouch cell technologies
- Creating and executing test and validation programmes
- Building and evaluating prototype battery systems
- Working on thermal management, packaging and high-voltage integration challenges
- Collaborating closely with suppliers and multidisciplinary engineering teams
- Supporting the development of next-generation energy solutions for autonomous aircraft
We’re interested in engineers who bring:
- Strong battery pack design and cell integration experience
- Hands-on experience with pouch cells
- Knowledge of thermal management and battery safety principles
- Experience with CAD tools such as SolidWorks
- Understanding of high-voltage systems and battery manufacturing processes
- A practical mindset with a passion for building, testing and improving products
Why join?
- Work on technology where battery performance is mission critical
- See your designs move rapidly from concept to flight testing
- Join a highly engineering-led environment with significant autonomy
- Work alongside experts across avionics, propulsion and autonomy
- 9-day fortnight with a long weekend every other week
- Healthcare, bonus scheme, pension and share incentive plan
- Salary is negotiable and will reflect experience and capability
This role requires eligibility for UK Security Clearance. Apply for immediate consideration.
