Mechanical Engineer

• Work seamlessly with the mechanical engineering and CAD teams to evolve new products in an efficient manner delivering best in class product quality, efficiency, and optimized design solutions.
• Responsible for the engineering and development of assigned subsystems, and components. Responsibilities include the development of technical work products, coordination of FEA studies, supplier capabilities, DFMEA, GD&T, Stack-up analysis, DVP&R, DFM/DFA deliverables.
• Manage and release structured bill of materials including PFEP during early stages of product development with evolution into XALT’s production MRP system (SAP).
• Work closely with the program management office, supply chain, purchasing, quality, strategic suppliers, and manufacturing engineering to ensure successful high-volume production.
• Ensure mechanical design addresses key requirements for production efficiency with high first pass yield manufacturing, serviceability, and recyclability.
• Proactively support validation teams in test plan reviews to ensure that testing strategies properly stress and verify design compliance and safety.
• Assess and benchmark competitive technologies for innovation, cost, performance, and functional advantages.

• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or Engineering Technology or equivalent
• Minimum 3+ years of mechanical engineering product design; prior battery or HEV design experience highly desired.
• 1+ years SolidWorks CAD software experience. Experience with other CAD modeling tools can also be considered.
• Experience in developing metal and plastic parts within high volume production settings. (Stamped or formed sheet metal, injection molded, insert molded, machined, extruded, die cast, etc.).
• Knowledge of battery systems related to design: Module and pack enclosures; retention of battery cells; cell tab joining/inter-connects; thermal management; vehicle integration experience a plus.
• Working knowledge of industry standards for testing and ratings for, ingress protection, mechanical vibration and shock, thermal profile / shock, environmental exposure, abuse and etc.
• Ability to perform design optimization studies with CAE analysts to balance design robustness vs. mass reduction.
• Design and release experience, with disciplined change management experience.
• Work closely customers (internal) and technical experts to deliver products that meet performance requirements in the presence of noise factors.
