Job Description

The High Voltage Distribution team at Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg is seeking an (Associate) Mechanical Design Engineer. Responsibilities include designing and supporting products from concept to production, collaborating with various engineering teams (manufacturing, systems, firmware, reliability, test, supply chain, and production) to develop a highly integrated and efficient HV system. The role involves designing assemblies (chargeports, cables, busbars, junction boxes, connectors) and mechanical components (busbars, cables, plastics, castings, seals, stampings). The successful candidate will contribute to pushing the boundaries of vehicle charging and high voltage distribution, developing new technologies to improve vehicle performance while reducing cost and mass. Close collaboration with powertrain and vehicle engineering teams is crucial.

Must have:

Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering
Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals
Proficiency in 3D modeling and 2D drafting (Catia V5/V6 a plus)
Knowledge of high voltage design requirements
Hands-on prototyping and build experience

Good to have:

Experience designing for high volume manufacturing
Familiarity with multiple manufacturing processes
Design for manufacturability, design for reliability
Experience with FSAE, EuRoC, Baja, Solar Car, Hyperloop

What to Expect

The High Voltage Distribution team is responsible for efficiently delivering power between the various components within the vehicle’s powertrain. The team works closely with other groups within the powertrain organization such as battery engineering, drive systems and power electronics to develop cohesive high voltage architecture. By utilizing both mechanical design and integration skills the team helps bridge the gap between powertrain and vehicle engineering. The team is also responsible for designing vehicle chargeports, working closely with supercharger and residential charging teams. Come join us in pushing the boundaries of technology in this new field of automotive high voltage mechanical design.

What You’ll Do

Design and support products from concept to production, working with stakeholders from manufacturing, systems, firmware, reliability, test, supply chain and production
Work closely with engineers throughout powertrain and vehicle engineering to develop a highly integrated and efficient HV system
Design assemblies including chargeports, cables, busbars, junction boxes and connectors
Design mechanical components including busbars, cables, plastics, castings, seals and stampings
Push the boundaries of vehicle charging and high voltage distribution
Develop new technologies to advance vehicle performance while reducing cost and mass

What You’ll Bring

Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience
Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals (structural design, materials, statics, dynamics, heat transfer, fluids, etc.)
Proficiency in 3D modeling and 2D drafting, Catia V5/V6 is a plus
Proficiency in GD&T
Knowledge about high voltage design requirements and considerations
Hands on prototyping and build experience
Strong communication and documentation skills
Experience designing for high volume manufacturing is a plus
Familiarity with multiple manufacturing processes
Design for manufacturability, design for reliability and the development of test plans
Experience with FSAE, EuRoC, Baja, Solar Car, Hyperloop etc
