We seek a Mechanical Design Engineer with Creo CAD experience to work on a next generation battery pack with new architecture and higher volume. You will have at least 2 years’ design experience.

This is currently a hybrid role where you will be expected to work on site 1 day per week and will be working from home the rest of the time.

Mechanical Design Engineer Role:

* You will deliver the design of components within the Mounting Systems commodity group for a commercial battery application.

* You will need to ensure a robust design and compatibility with other sub-systems and components (concept, design, quality, selection of right material and components and design for manufacturing).

* Responsible for the specification, design & drawings of mechanical elements of their components.

* The role will require an understanding of physical, informational, electrical & material interactions between components.

* Deliver component requirements & meet quantitative targets (weight, cost, size) while ensuring a robust design that is right first time.

* Ensure DFMEA, Engineering Specifications, Standards, Design Rules & Guidelines, Requirements, Statement of Work process/documents are effectively implemented in the design condition at the appropriate design maturity gateways.

* Meet commodity timing plans to ensure the design team is able to deliver to critical program milestones.

* Identify key mechanical failure modes & validation workstreams in order to capture these.

* Lead issue resolution for mechanical component failures throughout validation.

* Support Lead Engineers & Commodity owners with suppliers’ reviews through design phases, procurement of prototypes and production tooling development.

Mechanical Design Engineer Requirements:

* Degree in relevant engineering discipline with a minimum 2 years relevant experience.

* Creo CAD modelling (solid/surface) & design in context expertise essential.

* Experience with plastic injection moulding / casting / fabrication design is highly desirable.

* Understanding of fundamental mechanical design (DFM, DFA, static/dynamic loading, structural mechanics.

* Expertise in selection of mechanical components, suitable materials & joining technologies to meet system requirements.

* Experience following product development cycles & delivery of mechanical designs for key design gateways.

* Ability to apply fundamental engineering principles from concept through to detail design.

* Understanding of Geometric dimensioning & tolerancing leading to robust DFM & location strategies that aligns with Lean Manufacturing principles.

* Understanding of typical BEV and PHEV battery system solutions and technologies beneficial.

* Strong people skills and the ability to work individually and in a cross functional team.

* Work experience to project manage a design through to production and manage several parts across multiple vehicle programmes.

* Working Knowledge of Problem Resolution Techniques (e.g. – 8D, Six Sigma, Cummins FIRG process).

* Experience in component / system multi-physics FEA models beneficial (static & dynamic).

* Must be driven, self-starter.
