We operate in a collaborative environment with a flat organizational structure and expect a high degree of integrity, autonomy and creativity from all members of the team.
About the Role
As a Mechanical Design Engineer you will serve as a hands on technical lead for multiple power systems, primarily our all-electric RV's Solar System. You will be responsible for supporting continuous development and testing of the solar arrays, related junction boxes, harnessing, charge controllers and circuit protection. With a small team, you'll also help dive into development on other Power Systems components, including power distribution modules, mounting brackets, electronics enclosures, and selecting off the shelf electronics components.
Responsibilities
  • Work with the Product and Design teams to develop high level product requirements
  • Create tolerance stack analyses and apply appropriate GD&T controls to 3D geometries
  • Own the CAD & BOM for solar & related subsystems
  • Perform Design Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (DFMEA) to highlight reliability and safety issues.
  • Build functional prototypes of subsystems to ensure early de-risking before full vehicle builds
  • Work with the test engineering team to troubleshoot issues from highly accelerated life testing (HALT) and vehicle level test failures
  • Partner with supply chain for sourcing parts, components, and materials

Candidate Characteristics
  • The ability to approach challenges with flexibility and creativity
  • Solutions-oriented, with a focus on progress and impact over perfection
  • Willingness to operate effectively at both strategic and hands-on levels
  • Excellent communication, presentation, coordination skills & curiosity

Minimum Qualifications
  • B.S. or higher degree in an engineering field, preferably Mechanical Engineering
  • 2+ years industry design engineering experience
  • Experience with the following:
    • CAD/PLM/PDM systems
    • Rapid iteration cycles
    • Creating 3D CAD and drawings for electrical hardware components (cast/injection molded housings, busbars, wire harnesses, insulators, switches etc).
    • Selecting appropriate materials for electrical hardware, including plastics, metals, polymers and ceramics
    • Creating design validation plans for electrical hardware & mechanical assemblies

Preferred Qualifications
  • High voltage power distribution systems
  • Experience with solar arrays
  • Experience designing wire harnesses (high voltage and low voltage)
  • Experience with CATIA (3DX)
  • Experience with structural analysis (basic stress/strain and modal analysis)
  • Experience with designing for automotive environments
  • Experience with DFM/DFA analysis

Equity
  • Lightship compensation consists of the yearly salary above plus equity, which gives you a stake in the company.
