Description
About the job
Delart is home to a team of world-class engineers and project leaders dedicated to developing the next generation of advanced networking technologies, consumer devices, and innovative technology solutions. Trusted by some of the world’s leading technology companies, we deliver highly scalable, mission-critical solutions that power both consumer and business applications globally. Since our founding in 2017, we have been at the forefront of designing cutting-edge networking, telecommunications, and consumer products, while driving end-to-end project execution and creating transformative technology applications.
Overview
Join a forward-thinking engineering team pioneering the next generation of lightweight battery systems for consumer electronics and advanced robotics. As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will architect and validate robust, scalable batteries that are integral to enabling reliable, high-performance battery use cases. Your technical leadership will drive innovation in safety, mechanical integration, and cross-disciplinary collaboration for demanding real-world applications.
Responsibilities
- Architect, engineer, and optimize lightweight, swappable battery systems with emphasis on safety, weight reduction, and reliability for robotic applications.
- Lead design, validation, performance, endurance, and life cycle testing of battery subsystems, overseeing testing methodologies and data analysis.
- Diagnose and resolve mechanical issues through failure analysis, root-cause investigations, design iteration, and empirical validation.
- Guide contract manufacturers (CMs) and scaling partners in preparation for high-volume production transitions, ensuring manufacturability and quality.
- Work closely with reliability, electrical, and firmware engineers to implement best practices for high-reliability mechanical and electrical integration.
- Develop custom test fixtures, write test protocols, execute tests, and analyze measurement data to inform continuous design improvements.
- Design battery docking and interface components; support the development of ancillary robotic subsystems as needed.
- Oversee prototyping using diverse manufacturing processes and material choices suitable for battery and electronics enclosures.
- Execute tolerance analysis, GD&T application, and perform static structural and modal FEA simulations to validate mechanical robustness.
Minimum Qualifications
- 8+ years of mechanical design engineering experience, focused on complex electromechanical systems.
- Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent practical experience) in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field.
- Demonstrated expertise developing lightweight, custom battery modules and mechanical packaging for electrical systems.
- Strong background in battery and electronics thermal management strategies.
- Hands-on with design-of-experiments (DOE) and execution of performance and validation test protocols.
- Proficient in advanced CAD tools such as SOLIDWORKS, Siemens NX, or similar platforms, and capable with manufacturing prototyping.
- Expertise in tolerance analysis and application of GD&T per industry standards.
- Skilled in finite element analysis (FEA) including both static structural and modal evaluations.
- Proven track record managing engineering projects under fast-paced, ambiguous, or evolving priorities.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience developing robotics and/or consumer electronics products in high-performance, cross-functional teams.
- Demonstrated ability to lead projects from concept through full-scale deployment in demanding environments.
- Proven skill in using AI tools to enhance mechanical engineering workflows, improve efficiency, or elevate design quality.
- Evidence of ongoing engagement with AI-driven methodologies (e.g., prompt engineering, agent orchestration) or a commitment to staying current with emerging technologies.
