Engineer Mechanical Design Battery Pack

Role & responsibilities

Position Summary

Own mechanical design, CAD modelling, structural and thermal analysis support and engineering documentation for HV battery packs for EVs and energy storage systems, from concept to SOP. The role reports to the Lead Mechanical Design (Battery Pack).

Experience framing: mechanical design and product development, with a core portion in EV battery pack, automotive systems or powertrain products.

3. Must Have Skills

• HV battery pack mechanical design
• 3D CAD modelling in CATIA V5
• Engineering drawings and GD&T
• Structural analysis support using Ansys Mechanical
• DFM and DFA with manufacturing process knowledge

4. Good To Have Skills

• SolidWorks and AutoCAD
• Thermal design fundamentals
• Tolerance stack-up analysis
• Material selection and cost optimization
• DVP&R support
• APQP, DFMEA and engineering change management
• Root cause analysis
• Battery enclosure and cooling system design
• FEA and design optimization
• AIS 156, AIS 038 and related EV standards
• Lightweight design
• VAVE and cost reduction

5. Roles and Responsibilities

• Develop 3D CAD models, assemblies and detailed drawings for HV battery pack systems.
• Design enclosures, trays, covers, cooling plates, brackets, mounting systems and structural components.
• Support pack packaging and vehicle-level integration; maintain product structures, BOMs and release packages.
• Perform engineering calculations for strength, stiffness, thermal performance, vibration and durability; incorporate CAE findings.
• Generate manufacturing drawings with GD&T support structural and durability analysis using Ansys Mechanical.
• Support material selection, value engineering and design-to-cost work with suppliers.
• Apply DFM and DFA; support prototype builds, fitment evaluation and SOP readiness; know sheet metal, machining, welding, die casting, extrusion, injection moulding and sealing processes.
• Support DVP&R, validation testing and root cause analysis; apply GD&T, DFMEA, APQP and change management.

Coordinate with Electrical Design, Battery Systems, Validation, Manufacturing, Quality and Procurement teams.
