- Participate in component integration events, fabricating and testing first-of-a-kind prototypes to validate system design choices
- Lead critical vendor engagements and collaborate with manufacturing engineers to transition system designs from prototype to high volume production
- Collaborate with the Battery Products team to co-develop fluid and gas handling systems
- Champion for safety, especially in the development of new laboratory processes
- Participate in first fielded units for systems validation

What You'll Bring:

- Bachelor's or masters degree in mechanical engineering, or related fields
- 5-7 years of experience in renewable energy, liquid or gas handling or other relevant industry
- Prior experience in Energy Storage, Battery Systems, Renewable Energy, Utility, and other related industry experience a plus
- Experience with optimizing mechanical design, balance-of-plant systems, and interdisciplinary interfaces of fluid systems
- Direct experience in product development within an early stage environment
- Experience optimizing designs for manufacturing and cost-down
- Experience with first-principles modeling and design
The salary range for this role is $142,970 - $176,255. The range listed is what we reasonably expect to pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range and may be modified in the future.
