About the role

We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer with expertise in packaging high-voltage systems (400 V – 800 V) for electric vehicles. This role focuses on designing compact, reliable, and safe enclosures and packaging for circuit board assemblies, busbars, harnesses, and high-voltage components. You’ll work closely with electrical and systems engineers to ensure that mechanical packaging solutions meet demanding electrical, thermal, and safety requirements.

What

you'll do
  • Package high-voltage (400–800 V) automotive systems, including circuit board assemblies, busbars, harnesses, and power distribution units.
  • Develop dense, compact layouts that optimize thermal performance, dielectric strength, clearances/creepage, and long-term reliability.
  • Apply a working knowledge of dielectric properties of materials, thermal management, and material creep to ensure safe, durable designs.
  • Collaborate with electrical engineers on component placement, routing, and packaging trade-offs.
  • Incorporate EMI/EMC mitigation strategies into packaging solutions.
  • Produce detailed 3D CAD models and 2D drawings (CATIA preferred; willingness to learn required).
  • Support harness routing and packaging using Arcadia (or learn quickly on the job).
  • Participate in design reviews and work closely with suppliers to ensure manufacturable solutions.
  • Hands on assembly of the designs for proving out design and creating work instructions.
Qualifications

  • Read and understand system schematics and wiring diagrams.
  • Proficiency in 3D CAD tools (CATIA preferred) with ability to deliver production-ready models and drawings.
  • Familiarity with EMI/EMC design considerations in packaging.
  • Bonus:
    Experience with Arcadia harness design tool.
Team Structure
  • Individual contributor; collaborate with other teams and individuals, as necessary
Required Experience
  • 5+ years of experience in mechanical packaging of high-voltage systems for automotive or related industries
Educational Requirements
  • Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Mechanical Engineering or related field
