We’re looking for a Sr. Mechanical Engineer with structural, thermal, and/or electrical design experience to join our battery team. If you’re the kind of person who sees a problem, develops a solution, and engineers an improvement no one’s asked for yet, then we want to talk with you!

As a Sr. Mechanical Engineer, you will help support state-of-the-art electric vehicle battery systems through design improvements & cost optimization initiatives, root cause corrective action, sustaining activities, as well as proposing new design concepts to evolve the design into its next generation. Our ideal candidate exhibits a can-do attitude and approaches his or her work with vigor and determination.

Responsibilities:

• Take ownership of the battery module as a product

• Own and improve the components currently in production by analyzing designs and driving changes where needed to reduce costs and/or optimize performance

• Propose new module concepts that integrate new technologies

• Work closely with cell engineers, battery systems and modeling engineers, power electronics engineers, manufacturing, quality, and other cross-functional teams to troubleshoot issues, perform root cause analyses, research solutions, and resolve complex problems

• Integrate mechanical designs with high voltage electrical systems in a multidisciplinary environment

• Develop and maintain the Design for failure modes and effects analysis (DFMEA) and Design Verification Plan (DVP)

• Interface with external OEMs as the design lead for the module

Qualifications:

• 4+ years experience as a major contributor in a fast-paced engineering environment

• A flair for creative design engineering and problem-solving

• Understanding of battery design fundamentals

• Strong 3D CAD skills, proficient with CATIA or similar software

• Strong knowledge of GD&T and Creepage & Clearance principles

• Hands-on practical experience with shop tools and prototyping

• Knowledge of manufacturing processes such as injection molding, sheet metal stamping, die casting, etc

Preferred:

• Experience in automotive product validation (environmental testing, shock/drop, etc)

• Experience with EV battery systems

• Experience with automotive engineering

• Experience with electronic control systems

• Experience with Failure Modes Effects Analysis (FMEA) and DFM

• Experience with Root Cause Analysis methods, such as 8D

Education:

• Bachelor of Science (Master of Science preferred), in the areas of Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing, Automotive, Computer Science, or other related fields
