About the role

  • If the job description piques your interest, please apply.

Responsibilities

  • Own the design of structural components such as enclosures, trays, and covers that
  • manage thermal, mechanical, and environmental loads.
  • Lead architectural studies to explore tradeoffs across weight, stiffness, cost,
  • Integrate design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA) principles into all development stages.
  • Provide directional guidance through simulations to steer the design and architecture when dedicated CAE resources are limited.
  • Develop comprehensive 2D drawing packages applying appropriate GD&T and conduct tolerance analyses to ensure assembly integrity and performance.
  • Work with internal and external partners to define tolerances, specifications, and production intent designs.
  • Partner with CAE, test, and systems engineering teams to ensure designs meet performance and safety requirements.
  • Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, and test teams to ensure design intent is realized in hardware.
  • Support component and system-level validation, including vibration, structural, and environmental testing.

Requirements

  • Strong understanding of mechanical loads, materials behavior, and product lifecycle considerations.
  • Experience with CAD tools (e.g., CATIA, NX, SolidWorks, or similar).
  • Familiarity with mechanical FEA tools (Abaqus, ANSYS, LS-DYNA, etc.) to provide guidance on simulation and validation.
  • Proven experience working with suppliers from concept through delivery and testing.
  • B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mechanics, or a related field.
  • Excellent communicator capable of presenting to multidisciplinary teams.
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, iterative environments with evolving product requirements.
  • WHY JOIN?
  • Innovative Technology: Work on cutting-edge energy storage solutions that power the future.
  • Career Growth: Opportunities to work on high-impact projects and advance in a growing industry.

Nice to have

  • 7+ years of experience in mechanical or product design for structural systems (battery structures preferred
  • body structures also applicable).
  • Knowledge of leak testing methods and structural validation processes is a plus.
  • Familiarity with industry standards and regulations for structural or energy storage systems is a plus.

Benefits

  • Comprehensive health, wellness, and professional development programs.
