About the Role
The Battery Mechanical Design Engineer will be responsible for the mechanical design and development of BOLD’s battery systems using the latest state-of-the-art CAD tools, leveraging top-class engineering principles knowledge.
Last but not least, we are looking for people that share our core values: Customer Obsession, Ownership, Boldness, Excellence and Integrity. If you want to embrace our people-first values and make a real impact, Bold is your place!
About Bold Valuable Tech: Our Vision
At Bold, we´re a diverse community, from all over the world and from multiple industries and backgrounds. Combining experience from Automotive, Motorsport, Aerospace and Aviation with skills from concept phase through to full product delivery. Our rapid expansion is a testament to our commitment to pushing boundaries and delivering cutting-edge solutions.
We have two engineering divisions, different in their technologies but similarly focused on delivering compelling products to our customers.
In our Applied Engineering division, we are an integral part of the design & development process for our high-performance customers including Formula 1, Motorsport and Automotive. From the initial stages of blank sheet designs to the final production, we assume ownership with a relentless commitment to bringing our clients' visions to life. We contribute across all areas of engineering and in multiple different specialisms including composite & materials, bodywork, aero & structural, powertrain, and tooling.
In our Electrification division, we specialize in R&D of state of the art of battery systems. Taking projects from initial concepts to production: we are designing, developing, testing, and manufacturing the next generation of high-performance batteries to innovative projects for multiple industries. We aim to generate a real impact on the future of electric mobility.
Join us in shaping and improving the future of engineering excellence!
What You Will Do
- Generate battery design concepts based on specifications to achieve the performance targets of mass, safety, certification and structural requirements amongst others.
- Generate initial specifications and statements of works – Drawing and specification tables.
- Design and developing mechanical assemblies and structures using 3D Experience – Catia v6.
- Supervise other design team members working together in an area of the product or project.
