  • Ensure mechanical and structural safety under operational loads, transportation loads, vibration, and environmental conditions.
  • Evaluate failure modes and recommend design improvements to enhance durability, reliability, and lifecycle performance.
  • Collaborate with BESS, Power Electronics and Controls teams to ensure integrated system performance.
  • Support development and review of mechanical documentation including calculations, reports, specifications, and as-built drawings.
  • Experience designing heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. Overall have experience with thermal design of enclosures e.g. calculations of HVAC, identification of temperature limits, humidity management and mitigation.
  • Participate in product design sprints with the development team.
  • Provide technical input during product design iterations based on lessons learned from project engineering design, installation, commissioning, and operations.
  • Project management skills.
  • Excellent communication skills across technical and non-technical teams.
