About the role
- Work directly with suppliers and CMs on tooling, process development, assembly strategy, and production ramp.
- Root-cause manufacturing and field issues across mechanical, thermal, and electrical domains. - You'll be an early member of a growing battery engineering team.
Responsibilities
- Own complex battery subassemblies or full systems (depending on level) from concept to prototype, validation, and production launch
- Design and integrate battery pack hardware including enclosures, busbars, cooling systems, PCBAs, connectors, HV interfaces, and structural components - balancing thermal, structural, electrical, manufacturing, and packaging constraints simultaneously.
- Own top-level assemblies, tolerance strategy, 2D drawings, and engineering release of complex 3D assemblies
- Design for scalable manufacturing without compromising performance or safety from day one.
- We're a passionate team of builders, dreamers, doers and innovators, focused on creating entirely new (not to mention, innovative and delightful) vertically integrated, small EVs designed to meet the global mobility challenges of today and tomorrow.
- you will own hardware from initial concept and prototyping through production launch, ensuring high levels of performance, reliability and safety.
- You will own the integration of structural, thermal, electrical, manufacturing, and packaging requirements into a cohesive battery system that can be built reliably at scale.
- You should be equally comfortable working through first-principles architecture decisions, detailed CAD and drawing release work, prototype builds, manufacturing problem-solving, and supplier collaboration.
- Together we're working hands-on to imagine, design and build an entirely new solution to a global set of transportation challenges.
Requirements
- experience with FEA (structural and thermal) tools such as Ansys or Altair
- Experience with automated manufacturing and high-volume assembly systems
- How you work - your rigor, your speed, your standards - sets the bar for the engineers who come after you.
- Working knowledge of how cell behavior, thermal limits, and electrical integration drive pack mechanical architecture; experience with FEA (structural and thermal) tools such as Ansys or Altair
Nice to have
- Fluency with advanced 3D modeling software.
- CATIA V6 / 3DX preferred
Compensation
- The salary for this position ranges from $180,000 to $250,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications.
Benefits
- Robust health coverage - excellent health, dental, and vision insurance covered up to 100% by ALSO, with FSA & HSA options
- One Medical membership and dedicated insurance advocates
- Rich fertility and family-building benefits with Progyny
- Flexible time off
