Apply NowWe are looking for a Mechanical Design Lead to lead the development of battery packs, battery modules and electrical enclosure systems for a range of advanced electrification applications. Working at the forefront of battery, power conversion and vehicle control technologies, you will take ownership of mechanical design activities, ensuring solutions are innovative, manufacturable and aligned with customer requirements.
Working closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams, suppliers and manufacturing partners, you will play a key role in delivering complete mechanical solutions, from initial concepts through to production-ready designs.
The Mechanical Design Lead will be responsible for:
* Leading all mechanical design activities across battery, power conversion and electrification projects.
* Driving the design and development of battery modules, battery packs and electrical enclosure systems.
* Leading the packaging of electrical and electronic components, connectors, harnesses and high-voltage interconnects into robust mechanical assemblies.
* Creating and reviewing 3D CAD models, component designs and manufacturing drawings.
* Working with suppliers and manufacturing partners to optimise designs for cost, quality and manufacturability.
* Managing component databases, BOMs and engineering documentation in line with company processes.
The Mechanical Design Lead will have:
* A degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering or a related discipline.
* Significant experience (10+ years) designing and packaging battery systems, electrical assemblies and mechanical structures within prototype and production environments.
* Experience integrating battery modules, battery packs, electrical components and LV/HV harnesses into complex assemblies.
* Strong experience producing manufacturing drawings and assembly documentation from 3D CAD models.
* Experience developing and maintaining electrical component libraries and CAD databases.
* Advanced CAD experience using SolidWorks, CATIA or Siemens NX.
* Strong understanding of Design for Manufacture (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), GD&T and tolerance analysis.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced battery design engineer to lead the development of next-generation energy storage systems, working at the forefront of electrification technology within a collaborative and innovative engineering environment.
