Battery Pack & Module Design Leadership
- Lead the design and development of battery pack enclosures, module structures, and mechanical interfaces using SolidWorks, ensuring design intent is met at every stage.
- Own the creation and release of 3D models, 2D manufacturing drawings, and Bills of Materials (BOMs) with full accuracy, clarity, and manufacturability.
- Drive cell and module layout strategies, mechanical integration planning, and packaging optimization to maximize energy density and assembly efficiency.
Cross-Functional Collaboration & System Integration
- Partner closely with BMS, electrical, and thermal engineering teams to ensure seamless mechanical–electrical system integration.
- Act as the mechanical point of contact for battery-related design reviews, integration milestones, and technical escalations.
Design Assurance & Engineering Excellence
- Conduct thorough tolerance analysis, DFMEA, and DFM/DFA reviews to guarantee robust product performance and long-term reliability.
- Lead design validation activities, including vibration, thermal, and mechanical testing;
interpret results and drive corrective actions.
- Champion design documentation practices — maintaining ECNs, release reports, and revision-controlled design records.
Supplier & Production Coordination
- Coordinate with vendors, tooling suppliers, and contract manufacturers to ensure prototype builds and mass production tooling meets specifications.
- Support make-or-buy decisions and establish supplier qualification criteria for critical battery mechanical components.
Problem Resolution & Continuous Improvement
- Lead root cause analysis (RCA) for in-field and manufacturing battery issues;
develop and implement corrective and preventive actions.
- Drive cost reduction and weight optimization initiatives through systematic value engineering and design-to-cost methodologies.
- Mentor and guide junior mechanical engineers, fostering a culture of technical rigor and continuous learning.
