Job Description & How to Apply Below
We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to lead the development of advanced electromechanical products from initial concept through full-scale production. In this role, you take ownership of product architecture, mechanical design execution, validation, and manufacturing readiness while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams in engineering, operations, supply chain, and customer-facing functions. You work on complex products in automotive, energy storage, battery, or industrial applications and thrive in a fast-paced environment where you drive projects forward and provide technical leadership.
Responsibilities- Lead end-to-end product development efforts from concept generation through production release for advanced electromechanical products.
- Develop mechanical assemblies, structural components, and enclosure systems using 3D CAD tools.
- Create detailed manufacturing drawings, models, and support documentation to enable accurate production and assembly.
- Participate in system architecture discussions that involve electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing stakeholders to ensure cohesive product design.
- Drive and facilitate design reviews, incorporating feedback and best practices to improve product performance and reliability.
- Support product validation activities, including test planning, execution, and analysis of results.
- Conduct root cause investigations for design-related issues and implement robust corrective actions.
- Support prototype builds and testing activities, ensuring that prototypes meet design intent and performance requirements.
- Assist with product launches by collaborating with production teams to ensure smooth new product introductions.
- Manage engineering bills of materials (BOMs), product revisions, and engineering change processes within appropriate systems.
- Work directly with suppliers to review designs, resolve technical issues, and improve manufacturability and quality.
- Partner with production and operations teams to drive continuous improvement in product design and manufacturing processes.
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to other engineers, sharing best practices in mechanical and electromechanical design.
- Proven experience in mechanical design and product design for complex electromechanical products.
- Strong in developing mechanical assemblies, structural components, and enclosure systems.
- Hands‑on experience creating and managing engineering bills of materials (BOMs), product revisions, and engineering changes.
- Proficiency with 3D CAD tools such as Solid Works, AutoCAD, and Autodesk Inventor.
- Experience with electro‑mechanical systems, including low‑voltage and high‑voltage electrical systems.
- Practical knowledge of design for manufacturing (DFM) and assembly processes.
- Experience supporting validation testing and production readiness activities for new products.
- Familiarity with DFMEA or similar structured design risk analysis methodologies.
- Experience working within ERP, PLM, or MRP systems to manage product data and changes.
- Ability to lead cross‑functional design reviews and collaborate effectively with engineering, operations, suppliers, and customers.
- Strong problem‑solving skills with experience conducting root cause analysis and implementing corrective actions.
