Mechanical Engineer IIWe9re seeking a
Mechanical Engineer II who thrives at the intersection of innovation, precision, and production. In this role, you9ll help bring advanced battery systems from concept to reality-designing, validating, and optimizing solutions that are safe, scalable, and built to last.
We are looking for someone with experience in designing multiple-component products that go to an end user.What You9ll DoAs a Mechanical Engineer II, you9ll play a hands-on, high-impact role throughout the product lifecycle:
Design & Engineering- Lead the mechanical design of battery modules and enclosures with a focus on thermal management, structural integrity, and safety
- Translate early concepts into robust, production-ready designs
Electromechanical Integration- Partner closely with Electrical Engineering to design busbars, wire harnesses, and PCB mounting solutions
- Ensure proper creepage and clearance for high-voltage applications
Documentation & Standards- Create detailed blueprint drawings and technical specifications
- Perform QA/QC reviews of peer designs to ensure accuracy and manufacturability
- Apply GD&T (ASME Y14.5) to ensure proper fit and function
Analysis, Validation & Testing- Lead DFMEA sessions to proactively identify and mitigate risk
- Develop and execute DVP&R plans
- Oversee physical testing for vibration, thermal performance, ingress protection, and crash requirements
Manufacturing & Production Support- Develop comprehensive assembly documentation
- Provide hands-on support on the manufacturing floor
- Troubleshoot production challenges using 8D root-cause analysis
Leadership & Ownership- Serve as a technical mentor to junior engineers and designers
- Help train team members on CAD best practices and SOPs
- Act as Project Engineer for assigned product lines, coordinating with vendors and cross-functional teams (Electrical, Thermal, Software)
What You BringRequired Qualifications- Bachelor9s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field
- 3+ years of professional mechanical design experience (must have actual design, not process, experience)
(Battery systems, automotive, power conversion, or aerospace experience strongly preferred) - Expert-level proficiency in SolidWorks or Autodesk Inventor
(CSWA/CSWP or equivalent certification a plus) - Strong understanding of:
- Material selection (plastics, sheet metal, busbars)
- Thermal interface materials
- DFM/DFA best practices
Preferred Experience- Experience with lithium-based battery systems
- Background in Formula SAE, Solar Car, or similar hands-on engineering competitions
- A mindset that views challenges as opportunities to innovate and improve
