We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to design residential and commercial energy products. This person owns mechanical components and assemblies from concept through production - designing reliable, high-performance, manufacturable hardware for battery energy storage systems and related consumer/industrial products.

Mechanical Design & Development: Own the design, development, and optimization of mechanical components and assemblies for residential battery systems and related hardware.

CAD & Prototyping: Create detailed 3D models and prototypes using CATIA 3DX. Produce manufacturing drawings with proper GD&T and tolerance stacks.

Engineering Analysis: Perform thermal, stress, and structural analysis - hand calcs and simulation - to validate performance, safety, and reliability.

Material Selection & Manufacturing: Select materials based on performance, cost, and manufacturability. Work with suppliers and manufacturers to hold quality and production standards.

Cross-Domain Integration: Work with electrical engineers to integrate mechanical design with batteries, wiring, and enclosures for reliable, safe performance.

Design for Manufacturability: Apply DFM to make designs cost-effective and easy to build at volume - accounting for tooling, processes, and assembly.

Testing & Validation: Create test plans, set up tests, and analyze results to confirm products meet standards and requirements.

What You'll Bring

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.

3+ years in mechanical design for consumer or industrial hardware where performance is critical to customer satisfaction or safety - e.g., cars, laptops, power tools.

Proficiency in CAD (3D and 2D) and statistical tolerance analysis.
