Sr. Mechanical Engineer, HV Battery
As a Senior Mechanical Engineer in the HV Battery team, you will take ownership of designing and developing state-of-the-art battery components and systems. You will drive every stage of the process, from concept to production, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to create solutions that bolster Lucid’s dominance in the EV world. If you’re an engineer who thrives on innovation, problem-solving, and teamwork, we’d love to have you on our team!
Role:
- Design Ownership: Lead the design of core HV battery components, such as Battery Disconnect Units, busbars, plastic housings and isolators, harnesses, and connectors, from initial concept through production.
- Innovation & Optimization: Continuously optimize designs for cost and performance without sacrificing safety or reliability.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with electrical engineers, quality assurance, manufacturing, and other cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of mechanical and electrical systems.
- Prototyping & Testing: Design prototypes, create 3D CAD models, and develop test plans to validate designs. Drive changes based on test results and real-world feedback.
- Continuous Learning: Embrace new challenges and expand your engineering skills in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
Qualifications:
- Experience: 4+ years of experience as a major contributor in a fast-paced engineering environment.
- Engineering Fundamentals: Strong understanding of mechanical engineering principles, including structural, thermal, and mechatronic design.
- CAD Proficiency: Strong skills in 3D CAD (e.g., CATIA, 3DX, or similar) and familiarity with GD&T principles.
- Manufacturing Knowledge: Experience with manufacturing processes such as injection molding, sheet metal stamping, die casting, and more.
- Problem-Solving: Experience with root cause analysis methods (e.g., 8D, FMEA) and ability to apply them to complex technical challenges.
- Teamwork: Strong interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively in a multidisciplinary environment.
- Hands-On Experience: Proficiency with prototyping and shop tools to develop and validate designs.
Preferred:
- Battery Design: Experience in designing high-voltage batteries or battery disconnect components (60VDC+).
- Automotive Engineering: Familiarity with automotive product validation processes (environmental testing, shock/drop testing, etc.).
- Electronics Integration: Experience integrating mechanical designs with high-voltage electrical systems.
Education:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
Base Pay Range (Annual)
