Battery Pack Principal Design Engineer

An innovative engineering company developing advanced battery systems for automotive, defence, marine and industrial applications is looking to appoint a Battery Pack Principal Design Engineer to join its growing engineering team.
 
This is an exciting opportunity to take technical ownership of the mechanical design and packaging of next-generation battery modules and battery packs, working on cutting-edge electrification programmes from concept through to production.
 
Working within a multidisciplinary engineering environment, you will collaborate with systems, thermal, electronics and electrical engineers to develop robust, manufacturable and high-performance battery pack solutions for a diverse range of customer applications.
 
The Role

Lead the mechanical design of battery modules and battery packs.
Develop innovative packaging solutions for battery cells, HV/LV electrical components, harnesses and cooling systems.
Produce detailed 3D CAD models and manufacturing drawings.
Design sheet metal, machined, moulded and additive manufactured components.
Integrate thermal management solutions including liquid cooling systems.
Support Design for Manufacture (DfM) and Design for Assembly (DfA) activities.
Work closely with suppliers, manufacturing partners and internal engineering teams throughout product development.
Manage engineering BOMs, product structures and engineering change processes.
Provide technical leadership and support the successful delivery of multiple engineering programmes. About You
 
You will be an experienced mechanical design engineer with a strong background in battery pack development and electro-mechanical packaging.
 
You'll have:

Degree in Mechanical, Automotive or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent).
