Summary
Abhid Akram is a battery and powertrain systems engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience across OEM, Tier‑1, and utility-scale energy projects, now working on AI-ML rack HV power and battery systems at Google. He has led HV battery and thermal systems for passenger and commercial BEVs (400V/800V) and grid-scale BESS, combining Model-Based Design, 1D/3D multiphysics simulation, and systems engineering to deliver production-ready architectures and DVP/DFMEA-driven validation. Comfortable across MATLAB/Simulink, GT‑Suite, dSpace, Python/ML frameworks and CAD/CAE tools, he bridges controls, thermal management, and functional safety to optimize performance, fast charging and durability. Notably, he has driven ESS strategies from cell selection to pack thermal/FuSa integration and translated field telematics into architecture improvements for commercial vehicles. Based in the Bay Area, he brings rare cross-domain fluency—energy storage for the grid and electrified vehicle powertrains—plus a track record of deploying scalable battery systems under both V‑cycle and Agile processes.
