Product Design Engineer - Battery Systems

Your Key Responsibilities

• Conduct mechanical development engineering activities required to develop competitive battery system products.
• Develop the structure of the mechanical system based on system architecture, integrating measures derived from risk analysis into the design.
• Break down the overall system structure into subsystems and components, and create detailed product specifications for each.
• Review and assess the potential for reusing existing subsystems and components to optimize development efficiency and cost.
• Develop alternative structures and thoroughly evaluate each to select the most suitable solution for the application.
• Ensure double-sided traceability with the mechanical architecture through precise documentation and provide deliverables under robust configuration management (including material designation, versioning, storage location, etc.).
