Key Responsibilities 

Mechanical Hardware Design 

• Own component design for all assigned parts and commodities, including electrical routing, thermal routing, structural enclosures, assembly features, and packaging constraints 

• Ensure mechanical requirements are met, reviewed, documented, and signed off before design release 

• Create, maintain, and release accurate 3D models, 2D drawings, design data, and production documentation 

• Support mechanical component selection by assessing package, material, process, cost, supplier capability, validation, and serviceability constraints 

• Define materials, finishes, coatings, plating, fasteners, torque requirements, and interface details for conductive and structural components — including electrical contacts, busbars, brackets, enclosures, and grounding hardware 

• Support virtual builds and build-process documentation to confirm assembly sequence, access, tooling clearance, routing, serviceability, and repeatability 

Electrical Packaging & Integration 

• Translate electrical diagrams, schematics, wiring information, control and communication interfaces, EPB and safety needs, and hardware requirements into practical mechanical packaging solutions 

• Package PCBs, contactors, fuses, filters, sensors, connectors, cable glands, busbars, cooling systems, brackets, and associated enclosures 

• Support EMC-aware packaging — including cable routing, filter placement, grounding, bonding, shielding, segregation, conductive interfaces, and enclosure-level design features 

• Contribute to design decisions that balance efficiency, grid compliance, EMC performance, safety, cost, thermal performance, manufacturability, and launch timing  

CAE, Verification, Testing & Launch 

• Act as an integral interface with the CAE team, interpreting simulation results and converting them into design actions that meet mechanical, thermal, structural, vibration, and durability requirements 

• Support testing, prototype build, verification, integration, and launch activities with build notes, design data, fixtures, packaging updates, and rapid issue resolution 

• Capture build feedback, test observations, fit issues, tolerance concerns, supplier questions, and design risks 

• Use structured problem-solving to identify issues, containment actions, root causes, countermeasures, and robust design improvements 

Supplier, Customer & Cross-Functional Working 

• Support supplier and customer interaction covering DFM, tooling, verification, integration, issue resolution, cost, delivery timing, and design maturity 

• Conduct cross-functional reviews for high-priority tasks and where risk, timing, or integration impact warrants wider review 

• Solve complex problems by drawing on expertise across the team, supply chain, and wider industry where needed 

Cost, Supply Chain & Delivery Ownership 

• Support cost analysis, design-to-cost trade-offs, supplier feasibility reviews, and cost-reduction activities without compromising requirements or launch quality 

• Coordinate with supply chain to ensure parts are ordered, tracked, and delivered to MRD timings 

• Communicate part and commodity status clearly — including release status, supplier manufacture, expected delivery, and PO status 

• Operate a robust task and time-management process, escalating risks early with clear mitigation plans and revised target dates 

 Documentation & Process 

• Develop and maintain Jira tickets, Confluence documentation, design review materials, decisions, open issues, and sign-off evidence 

• Maintain part naming, attributes, drawing references, release information, and EBoM structure to company standards 

• Ensure all due dates are met, or that robust mitigation is communicated with new target dates before deadlines are missed
