What we are looking for

• Bachelor's degree (BE/B.Tech) or higher in Mechanical Engineering from a reputed

institution.

• Proven experience in the design and development of electromechanical systems

in the electric vehicle (EV) domain, especially related to battery packs, chargers,

and power electronics enclosures.

• Strong understanding of mechanical design principles, materials, GD&T, and

tolerance stack-up analysis for high-voltage systems.

• Experience in thermal management techniques including simulation,

prototyping, and implementation in battery modules or energy storage systems.

• Deep knowledge of DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFA (Design for

Assembly) principles, especially for low-volume, high-reliability EV components.

• Familiarity with battery enclosure sealing, EMI/EMC shielding, vibration and shock

protection techniques for automotive-grade assemblies.

• Hands-on experience with prototyping, fixture design, and tooling for mechanical

components in R&D and pre-production stages.

• Knowledge of thermal propagation control and fire mitigation strategies for

lithium-ion battery systems.

• Ability to work closely with electrical, firmware, thermal, and testing teams to co-

develop robust, integrated systems.

• Strong project management and team leadership capabilities to guide cross-

functional engineering teams.

• Familiarity with PLM systems, BOM structuring, and change management

processes in product lifecycle development.

• Excellent communication skills and stakeholder management experience across

engineering, manufacturing, and external partners.

• A passion for innovation, attention to detail, and a drive to build mechanically

sound, production-ready EV solutions.
