Description
Who We Are…
Agratas is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Sons. We design, develop and manufacture high-quality, high-performance, sustainable batteries for the mobility and energy sectors.
We are a scale-up business with a start-up mentality and the backing of a well-established parent company. The UK business headquarters is in the Midlands and we are currently building a battery manufacturing facility in Somerset and looking to compliment, scale and grow our R&D facilities in Abingdon and Coventry with the brightest minds from within the battery and EV sector.
Our battery technology roadmap is based on a foundation of world-class solutions for multiple applications. Collaborating with our technical partners, we are industrialising best-in-class high energy density and long-lasting battery cells. We are also committed to developing the next generation of battery technologies.
Purpose of the Role
As a Product Excellence Senior Engineer, you will play a key role in ensuring robust, high-quality cell design through the development, and application of Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (DFMEA). This role provides deep technical product expertise to support cell design activities, identify, and mitigate risk, and ensure alignment with customer, regulatory, and internal quality requirements.
Working closely with the Cell Design, Pack Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, and Quality teams, the role focuses on applying structured risk analysis, understanding failure modes and degradation mechanisms, and supporting product concerns through disciplined problem-solving approaches. This position requires strong experience of lithium-ion cell design and performance.
This is a hybrid working role that will be based in our Coventry office.
