We are looking for a Mechanical Design Lead to lead the mechanical design & development of battery packs, battery modules, and electrical enclosure systems for a range of advanced electrification applications.

This is still a hands-on role with some managerial requirements and scope to grow a team of mechanical engineers.

The Mechanical Design Lead will be responsible for:

  • Leading all mechanical design activities across battery, power conversion, and electrification projects.
  • Driving the design and development of battery modules, battery packs, and electrical enclosure systems.
  • Leading the packaging of electrical and electronic components, connectors, harnesses, and high-voltage interconnects into robust mechanical assemblies.
  • Creating and reviewing 3D CAD models, component designs, and manufacturing drawings.
  • Working with suppliers and manufacturing partners to optimize designs for cost, quality, and manufacturability.
  • Managing component databases, BOMs, and engineering documentation in line with company processes.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
