Battery (Cell, Pack, Module, System) Development Member
Role Overview
FTA’s client is looking for an individual that will be responsible for the development of batteries to be installed in flying cars and cargo drones.
• Examine the battery mechanism specifications and prepare the required specifications according to the required specifications from the airframe system side.
• Request design and production from partners, and carry out bonding tests and analysis with the airframe system and battery.(e.g. selection, design, prototyping and evaluation of mechanism materials considering insulation, fire protection and heat dissipation)
• Compile evidence such as safety analysis (FTA, FMEA, etc.) and design studies/evaluation results to obtain type certification
• Selection of chargers and design of interfaces between chargers and aircraft.
• Relationship building with partners
• Implement partner selection, control, quality audits, etc.
• The lithium-ion batteries used in flying cars are designed for safe flight. The batteries must be high-capacity, lightweight, and above all, safe and reliable.
The client has a small, elite development team, the role-holder will be involved in upstream processes such as the formulation of requirements and specifications and is also responsible for the development of cell, pack and control systems.
