Role Description
We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to play a critical role in the mechanical design and development of battery stacks and containerized systems. This position is intended for an experienced professional who will act as a technical reference for mechanical architecture, integration, and robustness of stack modules and container-level systems.
The role sits at a key interface between detailed component development and overall system design. The Senior Mechanical Engineer will work closely with a mechanical development engineer, the Head of Product (focused on system-level container design), and the hydraulic engineer, ensuring coherent integration of mechanical structures, piping interfaces, thermal and hydraulic constraints, and manufacturability considerations.
The position combines hands-on mechanical design, engineering judgment, and cross-functional coordination, supporting the transition from laboratory and pilot-scale systems to industrialized containerized solutions.
Responsibilities
* Lead the mechanical design and development of battery stacks, stack frames, manifolds, and structural components
* Define and oversee the mechanical architecture of stack modules within containerized systems
* Collaborate closely with the hydraulic engineer to ensure proper integration of piping, flow paths, sealing concepts, and pressure constraints
* Interface with the Head of Product on container-level system design, layout, integration, and scalability
* Supervise and technically guide the work of a mechanical development engineer
* Perform mechanical analyses related to structural integrity, tolerances, thermal expansion, vibration, and assembly
* Support design for manufacturing (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), and serviceability considerations
* Contribute to the definition of mechanical standards, design guidelines, and best practices
* Support prototype build, testing, and troubleshooting activities, including root-cause analysis of mechanical issues
* Prepare technical documentation, CAD data packages, and internal design reports
* xrdztoy Contribute to technology roadmap and product development decisions from a mechanical engineering perspective
Qualifications
* MSc or PhD in Mechanical Engineering
* 6+ years of experience in mechanical design and development of complex engineered systems (liquid pressurized systems, or similar)
* Strong experience in mechanical design of assemblies, structures, and interfaces (preferably in fluid-based systems)
* Proficiency with CAD tools and mechanical design methodologies
* Experience working in multidisciplinary R&D teams
* Strong problem-solving skills and engineering judgment
* Ability to balance hands-on design work with system-level thinking
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
