Key Responsibilities
Design and develop mechanical architectures for battery modules and systems, including enclosures, frames, compression systems, mounts, and safety features.
Own mechanical design from concept, detailed design, and prototyping through DVT/PVT and production release.
Define and manage mechanical requirements related to strength, vibration, shock, sealing, thermal interfaces, and serviceability.
Perform structural and fatigue analysis (FEA) to validate designs against automotive, marine, or industrial standards.
Collaborate closely with thermal, electrical, and systems engineers to ensure proper integration of cells, busbars, thermal systems, and electronics.
Support battery safety design, including mechanical protection, cell retention, venting paths, and abuse mitigation features.
Support prototype builds and root-cause analysis during testing and production ramp-up.
Generate and maintain detailed drawings, BOMs, and engineering documentation.
Bachelors or Masters degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.
5+ years of experience in R&D roles in battery or energy storage systems.
Proficiency with CAD tools (SolidWorks, Creo, CATIA, or similar).
Experience with structural simulation tools (ANSYS, Abaqus, or equivalent).
Solid understanding of materials, fasteners, tolerances, and manufacturing processes (sheet metal, castings, extrusions, plastics).
Hands-on experience with prototype assembly and testing.
Ability to work in a fast-paced, product-driven environment with high ownership.
