• Develop accurate 3D CAD models and detailed 2D drawings for battery cells, modules, packs, and mechanical sub‑systems.
• Create and manage engineering documentation such as BOMs, design specifications, and revision control within PLM systems.
• Translate engineering concepts into manufacturable designs, addressing functional, thermal, and safety requirements.
• Apply GD&T, tolerance analysis, DFMA principles, and select appropriate materials to ensure robust product development.
• Collaborate closely with engineers, scientists, and manufacturing teams to iterate and refine component designs.
• Identify potential design issues, support root‑cause analysis, and implement corrective updates as needed.
• Lead and participate in design reviews, making technical recommendations that enhance performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Work with internal and external partners to ensure component feasibility, cost‑effectiveness, and adherence to manufacturing standards.
• Ensure all designs meet internal engineering benchmarks, safety guidelines, and industry regulations.

• Associate or bachelor’s degree in mechanical design, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field; significant relevant experience may substitute for a degree.
• 5+ years of mechanical design experience
• Expertise in 3D CAD software such as Solid Works, Creo, Inventor, CATIA, or NX.
• Strong foundation in mechanical design principles and manufacturing processes.
• Proficiency in reading, interpreting, and creating technical drawings and GD&T.
• Excellent problem‑solving, communication, and engineering documentation skills.

• Experience designing components for battery systems, energy storage, automotive, aerospace, or other high‑precision segments.
• Familiarity with thermal management, structural analysis, or mechanical simulation tools.
• Background in using PLM systems for engineering document control.
• Knowledge of materials specific to battery systems, including polymers, thin metals, and thermal interface materials.
• Ability to manage multiple iterative design projects in a fast‑evolving environment.
• Strong cross‑functional teamwork and communication capabilities.
