Staff Mechanical Engineer, HV Battery
We’re looking for a Staff Mechanical Engineer with structural, thermal, and/or electrical design experience to join our battery team. If you’re the kind of person who sees a problem, develops a solution, and engineers an improvement no one’s asked for yet, then we want to talk with you! As a Staff Mechanical Engineer, you will help support state-of-the-art electric vehicle battery systems through design improvements & cost optimization initiatives, root cause corrective action, sustaining activities, as well as proposing new design concepts to evolve the design into its next generation. Our ideal candidate exhibits a can-do attitude and approaches his or her work with vigor and determination. If you’re an engineer who thrives on innovation, problem-solving, and teamwork, we’d love to have you on our team!
Role:
- Design Ownership: Lead the design of core HV Battery components, such as the Battery Module, from initial concept through production.
- Innovation & Optimization: Lead the design of innovative HV Battery concepts through early design phases with the focus of cost, mass, performance and manufacturability.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with cell & modeling engineers, battery systems, power electronics engineers, manufacturing, quality and other cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of mechanical, thermal and electrical systems.
- Prototyping & Testing: Design prototypes, create 3D CAD models, and develop test plans to validate designs. Drive changes based on test results and real-world feedback.
- Leadership: Interface internally and with external OEMs as the design lead for the HV Battery components.
Qualifications:
- Experience: 4+ years of experience as a major contributor in a fast-paced engineering environment.
- Engineering Fundamentals: Strong understanding of mechanical engineering principles, including structural, thermal, and mechatronic design.
- CAD Proficiency: Strong skills in 3D CAD (e.g., CATIA, 3DX, or similar) and familiarity with GD&T principles.
- Manufacturing Knowledge: Experience with manufacturing processes such as injection molding, sheet metal stamping, die casting, and more.
- Dimensional Understanding: Strong knowledge of GD&T and Creepage & Clearance principles.
- Problem-Solving: Experience with root cause analysis methods (e.g., 8D, FMEA) and ability to apply them to complex technical challenges.
- Hands-On Experience: Proficiency with prototyping and shop tools to develop and validate designs.
Preferred:
- Battery Design: 7+ years experience in designing HV Battery components.
- Automotive Engineering: Familiarity with automotive engineering & product validation processes (environmental testing, shock/drop testing, etc.).
- Electronics Integration: Experience integrating mechanical designs with high-voltage electrical systems.
Education:
- Bachelor’s in the areas of Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing, Automotive, or other related fields.
- Master's/PhD Preferred.
Base Pay Range (Annual)
$156,600 - $208,000 USD
