You will integrate tightly with a team of experienced engineers to write and execute verification test plans and iterate on designs with data-driven analysis. You'll be a part of a large cross-functional team bringing Energy Storage Systems from concept to release to mass manufacturing. This is an exciting opportunity to deliver our sustainable multi-day energy storage solution to the grid!

Relocation assistance is available.

What you'll do:
  • Lead hands-on prototyping and verification testing of subsystem designs.
  • Drive instrumentation, data collection and data analysis for system-level validation builds.
  • Own design of components and assemblies for volume manufacturing.
  • Run and analyze trials to inform specs and future design direction.
  • Execute ambitious product development processes on tight timelines.
What you'll bring:
  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field; Bachelor's with 1+ years experience in mechanical design, or Master's with research or professional engineering experience.
