About us
At Gaussion we want to reduce charging times for electric vehicles (EVs) so that they are comparable with refuelling a traditional combustion vehicle. We believe that our patent-protected technology can achieve this, meaning lower resistance, faster EV charging and longer warranties. With a rapid expansion of our London headquarters, we have several opportunities to join our team.
Role
You will take technical ownership of the mechanical design of our battery modules, packs, and associated test and production equipment. Collaborating closely across engineering, research, and operations, you will translate high-level requirements into robust, manufacturable designs that underpin our rapid charging technology.
Main responsibilities will include:
- Lead the end-to-end mechanical design of battery modules and packs, from concept through to prototype and production release.
- Design jigs, fixtures, and bespoke test equipment to support assembly, characterisation, and validation activities.
- Produce detailed 3D CAD models and 2D engineering drawings, ensuring GD&T compliance and full design intent capture for manufacture and assembly.
- Drive design feasibility studies, perform hand calculations, and work with simulation tools to validate structural and thermal performance.
- Generate and maintain technical documentation including design specifications, BOMs, assembly instructions, and test reports.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will report into the Head of Mechanical, working collaboratively across our multidisciplinary team to ensure designs are delivered on time and to specification. You will actively contribute to design reviews, support prototype builds, and help shape our engineering processes as the company scales.
Requirements
We are looking for an experienced engineer who can demonstrate the following:
- A degree (or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related discipline.
- A minimum of 5 years or more of industry experience within similar roles.
- Proven experience in mechanical design, with a strong CAD portfolio (Preferably CATIA).
- Demonstrable experience designing for manufacture and assembly (DFM/DFA), with hands-on involvement through to prototype build and test.
- Experience designing battery modules, packs, or high-voltage electromechanical assemblies.

- Knowledge of relevant standards and safety requirements for high-voltage systems or energy storage.
- Exposure to medium to high volume manufacturing processes, such as injection moulding tooling, sheet metal fabrication, or similar, with an understanding of design constraints and tolerancing for scalable production.
- A passion for clean technology and the electrification of transport.
Benefits
- A competitive compensation package (base + equity) with regular reviews.
- Based at Gaussion HQ, central London.
- Flexible working hours.
- 36 days of annual holiday (28 days of leave + UK public holidays).
- Competitive pension scheme.
