Company Description
We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Engineer to design battery energy storage systems. This includes the primary and secondary structures, control panels, HV and LV sub-systems, and heating/cooling systems.
This role owns the design and release of multiple parts across our battery energy storage system, delivering to program milestones and targets in quality, cost, functionality, weight, and timing. This includes the development, testing, and validation of all physical systems, including the cooling system and thermal system performance.
This is a unique opportunity to lead the development, testing, and validation of mechanical systems within a rapidly growing and dynamic company. The ideal candidate will have a background in mechanical engineering, having gained significant experience in their career working on electric vehicles, including structures, cooling systems, and battery pack integration.
We are seeking a hands-on engineer who is practical and can build, not just engineer CAD and drawings, as you will support the assembly of our systems on the production line.
Job Description
Responsibilities
- Lead the design and development of mechanical systems, products, and components
- Assess strength, stiffness, and fatigue of components, assemblies, and full systems, conducting both linear static analyses and non-linear analyses using
- Conceptual analysis and hand calculations to develop and validate engineering designs and determine structural performance
- Design and develop integrated EV and power electronic cooling and heating systems
- Choose and specify materials and components required, create detailed CAD drawings
- Lead the generation and maintenance of system and component level DFMEAs
- Conduct feasibility assessment and cost-benefit analyses to determine design viability
- Identify and resolve design or manufacturing issues using CAD and analysis tools
- Understand regulatory requirements and define testing activities to ensure the durability, reliability, and functionality of system design
- Provide schemes, final designs, and release drawings aligned to project requirements
- Support the creation of RFQ/RFI documents and support supplier engagement
- Work with suppliers to mature cost, manufacturability, and quality of engineering design
- Provide technical guidance and support to technicians, support system production
- Facilitate the engineering release process from initial concept to finalized drawings
- Lead change management processes, root cause analyses, and corrective actions
- Lead the development/management of DVP&R schedule
