About the Role
This role is instrumental in the design, simulation, analysis, and testing of mechanical components for state-of-the-art electric vehicle powertrains. You will be hands-on across the entire product lifecycle—from initial concept to New Product Introduction (NPI). The ideal candidate possesses a robust understanding of mechanical engineering fundamentals, thrives on bringing theoretical designs to life, and is enthusiastic about pioneering innovative EV technology. You will serve as a technical anchor, providing guidance on complex mechanical challenges and ensuring design integrity across the powertrain architecture.
Responsibilities
- Lead all aspects of design, validation, and manufacturing for EV battery systems across aircraft, off-road, and marine applications.
- Evaluate new manufacturing technology and equipment to enable scaling and continuous improvement of in-house battery production.
- Develop test plans and design validation methods for battery system failure modes.
- Perform trade off analysis and DOEs to optimize designs for performance and cost.
- Manage part and assembly lifecycles using SolidWorks CAD and PDM.
- Execute structural, thermal, and fluid simulations (SimScale), correlating digital results with physical testing.
- Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams electrical, software, systems, and project management team to deliver high confidence products.
Requirements
- 5+ years of mechanical engineering experience, with a focus on multi-cell battery systems or high-voltage applications.
- A proven history of taking projects from concept through development, test, and certification into production.
- Proficiency in rapid-prototyping to create functional jigs and fixtures.
- Design experience using manufacturing methods such as; CNC Machining, Injection Molding, Sheet Metal Bending, 3D Printing.
- Joining methods, such as ultrasonic welding, wire bonding, laser welding, TIG, MIG, IP67 sealing methods.
