Sr. Mechanical Engineer, HV Battery

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer in the HV Battery team, you will take ownership of designing and developing state-of-the-art battery components and systems. You will drive every stage of the process, from concept to production, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to create solutions that bolster Lucid’s dominance in the EV world. If you’re an engineer who thrives on innovation, problem-solving, and teamwork, we’d love to have you on our team! 

Role: 

• Design Ownership: Lead the design of core HV battery components, such as Battery Disconnect Units, busbars, plastic housings and isolators, harnesses, and connectors, from initial concept through production. 

• Innovation & Optimization: Continuously optimize designs for cost and performance without sacrificing safety or reliability. 

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with electrical engineers, quality assurance, manufacturing, and other cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of mechanical and electrical systems. 

• Prototyping & Testing: Design prototypes, create 3D CAD models, and develop test plans to validate designs. Drive changes based on test results and real-world feedback. 

• Continuous Learning: Embrace new challenges and expand your engineering skills in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. 

Qualifications: 

• Experience: 5+ years of experience as a major contributor in a fast-paced engineering environment. 

• Engineering Fundamentals: Strong understanding of mechanical engineering principles, including structural, thermal, and mechatronic design. 

• CAD Proficiency: Strong skills in 3D CAD (e.g., CATIA, 3DX, or similar) and familiarity with GD&T principles. 

• Manufacturing Knowledge: Experience with manufacturing processes such as injection molding, sheet metal stamping, die casting, and more. 

• Problem-Solving: Experience with root cause analysis methods (e.g., 8D, FMEA) and ability to apply them to complex technical challenges. 

• Teamwork: Strong interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively in a multidisciplinary environment.  

• Hands-On Experience: Proficiency with prototyping and shop tools to develop and validate designs. 

Preferred: 

• Battery Design: Experience in designing high-voltage batteries or battery disconnect components (60VDC+). 

• Automotive Engineering: Familiarity with automotive product validation processes (environmental testing, shock/drop testing, etc.). 

• Electronics Integration: Experience integrating mechanical designs with high-voltage electrical systems. 

Education: 

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
