Lead Engineer-Battery Design

Battery Pack & Module Design Leadership

Lead the design and development of battery pack enclosures, module structures, and mechanical interfaces using SolidWorks, ensuring design intent is met at every stage.

Own the creation and release of 3D models, 2D manufacturing drawings, and Bills of Materials (BOMs) with full accuracy, clarity, and manufacturability.

Drive cell and module layout strategies, mechanical integration planning, and packaging optimization to maximize energy density and assembly efficiency.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & System Integration

Partner closely with BMS, electrical, and thermal engineering teams to ensure seamless mechanicalelectrical system integration.

Act as the mechanical point of contact for battery-related design reviews, integration milestones, and technical escalations.

Design Assurance & Engineering Excellence

Conduct thorough tolerance analysis, DFMEA, and DFM/DFA reviews to guarantee robust product performance and long-term reliability.

Lead design validation activities, including vibration, thermal, and mechanical testing; interpret results and drive corrective actions.

Champion design documentation practices maintaining ECNs, release reports, and revision-controlled design records.

Supplier & Production Coordination

Coordinate with vendors, tooling suppliers, and contract manufacturers to ensure prototype builds and mass production tooling meets specifications.

Support make-or-buy decisions and establish supplier qualification criteria for critical battery mechanical components.

Problem Resolution & Continuous Improvement

Lead root cause analysis (RCA) for in-field and manufacturing battery issues; develop and implement corrective and preventive actions.

Drive cost reduction and weight optimization initiatives through systematic value engineering and design-to-cost methodologies.

Mentor and guide junior mechanical engineers, fostering a culture of technical rigor and continuous learning.
