Bugatti Rimac, part of the Rimac Group, brings together two forces that have redefined the automotive world. By combining Rimac’s cutting-edge electric performance and innovation with Bugatti’s 110+ year legacy of crafting iconic hypercars, we are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in automotive engineering.

Our team is at the core of this, we work with passion, aim for excellence, and take ownership of what we do. We grow together, pioneer solutions, and deliver vehicles that set new standards. 

As a Battery Mechanical Design Engineer, you will be responsible for the mechanical design of HV Battery structural components, modules and cell integration across Bugatti Rimac programs
Working across Battery Engineering, Vehicle Integration, Powertrain, CAE, Manufacturing, Homologation and suppliers, you will develop battery structural concepts from early packaging studies through detailed 3D design and 2D drawing release, ensuring robust, lightweight, manufacturable and vehicle-integrated solutions that meet performance, safety and durability targets.

You will love this role if you enjoy developing mechanical concepts into detailed production-ready designs, solving packaging and structural integration challenges, and working hands-on with cross-functional teams on high-performance battery systems.

Where you’ll make an impact 

• Develop mechanical concepts and layouts for HV Battery pack structures, modules and cell integration from early feasibility to detailed design.
• Design battery structural components such as enclosures, covers, base structures, module interfaces, cell retention features, brackets and protection elements.
• Create and maintain 3D CAD models, 2D drawings, BOM data and release documentation for assigned battery mechanical components.
• Work with Battery Engineering, Vehicle Integration, CAE, Manufacturing, Quality and suppliers to achieve packaging, structural and production targets.
• Support the definition and deployment of mechanical requirements for stiffness, crash, sealing, durability, tolerances, serviceability and manufacturability.
• Contribute to packaging reviews, tolerance stack-ups, design reviews and DFM/DFA activities to mature concepts into production-ready designs.
• Support prototype builds, component readiness, supplier follow-up and issue resolution during development and validation phases.
• Contribute to DFMEA activities and design improvements, supporting root-cause analysis and mitigation actions for mechanical issues.
• Ensure design outputs are aligned with validation, homologation, End of Line and aftersales requirements for battery mechanical components.

What are your core components 

• 5+ years of experience in automotive mechanical design, ideally on HV battery packs, modules, cell integration or structural components.
• Strong knowledge of mechanical design, structural packaging and integration of automotive components from concept to design release.
• Experience creating and releasing 3D models, 2D drawings, BOMs and technical documentation for production components.
• Good understanding of battery pack structures, module interfaces, cell retention/compression concepts, sealing and mechanical protection.
• Experience working with CAD/PLM tools such as CATIA/3DX and managing component data through the release process.
• Knowledge of materials, joining technologies, tolerances, DFM/DFA, lightweight design and production constraints.
• Ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams including CAE, testing, manufacturing, quality and suppliers.
• Familiarity with DFMEA, tolerance analysis, root-cause analysis and validation support for mechanical components.
• Engineering degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
• Hands-on mindset, strong ownership, clear communication skills and a drive for continuous improvement.
