Benjamin Meyer
@benjaminmeyer
I am an engineering leader specializing in systems engineering, AI-driven automation, and cross-functional team delivery.
What I'm looking for
I am an engineering leader with 20+ years guiding cross-functional teams to deliver advanced energy storage systems and software-enabled solutions. I blend systems architecture, MBSE, and embedded software integration with hands-on fluency in Python and automation.
As Director of Systems Engineering I directed a global team of 80+ engineers to deliver high-reliability solutions for utility clients and represented systems engineering on core cell qualification. Previously I led $11M+ across 18 DoD/DOE contracts and delivered lithium battery solutions with embedded control systems for soldier power, UAVs, and sensors.
I integrate AI/ML tools, local LLMs, and automation into engineering workflows to improve documentation generation, data parsing, and predictive degradation analysis. I focus on building high-performing teams, mentoring engineers, and using data-driven automation to accelerate delivery and reduce manual effort.
