Our client is a rapidly-growing startup currently seeking a self-driven and motivated mechanical design engineer with a passion to drive innovation in the field of energy storage solutions. As a design engineer, you will have an opportunity to design prototypes, from the initial architecture all the way to packs and modules. You will work closely with a team of scientists and prepare design concepts for an energy storage system, run simulations and tests for various modes of operation and ambient conditions and optimize the design to maximize safety and performance.

Responsibilities will include:

• Execute mechanical design concepts for prototypes at all stages of the development cycle
• Design of prototype packs and modules
• Generating dimensional and tolerance analyses
• Simulation of safety characteristics under various operational conditions
• Assisting in the production and integration of prototype units into packs and modules
• Perform design validation and characterization
• Root cause failure analyses to identify solutions and implement corrective actions

Background profile:

• BS or higher in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
• 2+ years industry experience in CAD/CAE applications
• Familiar with lithium ion battery design and safety standards
• Knowledge in manufacturing processes and automation is preferred
• Experience in 3D CAD tools
• Experience in Design for Manufacturability and Design for Assembly
• Basic understanding of 3D printing including some operational experience
• Assembly experience is preferred
• Knowledge of battery management systems and circuit integration is a plus
• Excellent written and oral communication skills
