Own the mechanical design and architecture of next-generation energy storage systems (cell, module, thermal, fluid handling, structural) end-to-end, from concept through system verification

Make and defend high-leverage trade-offs across subsystem interfaces — performance, cost, manufacturability, and reliability — where the right answer isn't obvious

Build or direct first-principles analytical models that inform architecture decisions

Lead first-of-a-kind prototype builds and test campaigns to validate system-level design choices

Set technical direction for design-for-manufacturing and design-for-cost across the next-gen program, partnering with manufacturing engineering to plan the path from prototype to Form Factory-scale production

Represent mechanical engineering in cross-functional architecture reviews with electrochemistry, controls, program management, and compliance

Engage directly with critical vendors on early-stage development and sourcing strategy for novel components

Champion safety, especially when introducing new lab processes, prototype hardware, or test methods

What you'll bring:

Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field; Bachelor's with 12+ years, or advanced degree with equivalent experience, in mechanical design of complex electromechanical or fluid/thermal systems

Demonstrated track record owning system-level architecture — not just component design — including the trade-offs across thermal, fluid, and structural interfaces

Deep first-principles grounding in thermo-fluid systems, with experience translating analytical models directly into design decisions
