• Create detailed 3D CAD models and assemblies
• Generate 2D drawings, GD&T, BOMs, and manufacturing documentation
• Perform thermal and structural design considerations across the product

Cross-Functional Engineering

• Collaborate with electrical engineers on cell selection, BMS integration, and wiring architecture
• Support prototype builds, testing, and validation
• Work with manufacturing teams to ensure DFM and DFA principles are met
• Participate in supplier selection and evaluation

Compliance & Lifecycle

• Ensure compliance with UL, IEC, and NFPA standards
• Manage engineering changes and product lifecycle documentation

Qualifications Required

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Electromechanical Engineering

• Knowledge of safety and compliance standards

Preferred

• Experience with thermal simulation tools (ANSYS, COMSOL)
• Background in energy storage systems
• Experience with sheet metal, plastics, and injection molding
• Familiarity with IP ratings and environmental protection design
• Experience supporting UL 9540, UL 1973, or UL 2580 compliance

Key Skills & Traits for Success

• 3D modeling and drawing standards
• Problem-solving and root cause analysis
• Cross-functional collaboration
• Self-starter who can work independently and in the field
• Detail-oriented with a focus on safety and quality
• Adaptable and comfortable in fast-paced environments

Working Conditions

• Frequent travel to customer sites (regional or national)
