  Lead and/or review Finite Element Analysis (FEA) models or reports to validate mechanical designs under static, dynamic, thermal, and seismic loading conditions.

  
  


• 
  

  Ensure mechanical and structural safety under operational loads, transportation loads, vibration, and environmental conditions.

  
  


• 
  

  Evaluate failure modes and recommend design improvements to enhance durability, reliability, and lifecycle performance.

  
  


• 
  

  Collaborate across teams including BESS, Power Electronics, and Controls to ensure integrated system performance.

  
  


• 
  

  Support development and review of mechanical documentation including calculations, reports, specifications, and as-built drawings.

  
  


• 
  

  Participate in product design sprints with the development team.

  
  


• 
  

  Provide technical input during product design iterations based on lessons learned from project engineering design, installation, commissioning, and operations.

  
  

Required Qualifications

  Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a similar technical field.

  
  


• 
  

  Experience: 10+ years of hands-on structural and mechanical engineering experience in project-based or industrial settings.

  
  


• 
  

  Technical Expertise: Strong experience performing stress analysis, fatigue analysis, and vibration assessment.

  
  


• 
  

  Compliance: Demonstrated experience ensuring structural safety and compliance with applicable engineering standards and codes.

  
  


• 
  

  Documentation: Ability to interpret engineering drawings and develop detailed reports and calculations.

  
  


• 
  

  Soft Skills: Project management skills alongside excellent communication skills across technical and non-technical teams.

  
  


• 
  

  Travel: Willing to travel up to 20% for product FAT inspection and site commissioning witnessing.

  
  

Preferred Plus

• 
  

  Experience designing heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems.
