Product Design Engineer (Battery Cell)

Quick Facts

• Focus: Mechanical engineering design and validation of battery cells integrated into battery modules and products

Description

Work in the Battery Cell Product Design group to develop mechanical designs for battery cells and drive validation from prototype bring-up through product testing. Coordinate mechanical characterization, perform failure analysis and DOEs, and make data-driven decisions in a cross-functional environment. Use methods such as FMEA, design of experiments, GD&T (including datum establishment and tolerance analyses), and collaborate with FEA teams.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate and execute mechanical characterization of the cells to improve customer-facing functionality
• Create and drive innovative mechanical and product designs using FMEA, DOE, GD&T, datum establishment, and tolerance analyses; collaborate with FEA teams
• Define and complete design validation activities (testing, metrology, failure and statistical analysis) and make data-driven decisions
• Drive failure analyses and DOEs to reach design solutions and corrective actions
• Develop cell mechanical requirements and specifications to meet customer requirements
• Define and complete design validation/characterization from prototype bring-up to product testing
• Conduct design reviews and drive file release process
• Travel up to 15% throughout the year

Requirements

• BS degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
• Experience with 3D CAD

Benefits

• Opportunity to innovate new battery technologies that continually outperform previous iterations
• Cross-functional collaboration across product development, operations, industrial design, and reliability testing teams
