It comprises highly specialized engineers across Automotive, Aerospace and Industrial Heavy Machinery.

The Role:

We are seeking a skilled Inverter Mechanical Design Engineer to support the concept and M1 design phases of P4 EDU inverters for a next-generation PHEV platform. This role will focus on the mechanical integration and internal layout of high-voltage inverters, collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure high-quality designs that meet performance, safety, and manufacturability targets.

Key Responsibilities:

Mechanical Design & Packaging:

• Support concept and M1 phase mechanical design for inverters integrated into P4 EDU systems.


• Define internal inverter layout including placement of components such as busbars, capacitors, and cooling structures.


• Perform layout and packaging design using Siemens NX and Teamcenter.

Engineering Calculations & First-Principles Design:

• Perform 1D calculations to validate current carrying capacity, creepage and clearance distances, and mechanical integrity (e.g., bolted joints, stress/strain).


• Apply mechanical engineering fundamentals to support robust and manufacturable designs.

Inverter Integration & Cross-Functional Support:

• Ensure proper mechanical integration of the inverter into the EDU and vehicle systems.


• Collaborate with electrical, thermal, and controls teams to meet interface and packaging requirements.

Supplier Interaction & Project Delivery:

• Interface with suppliers (as required) to align on mechanical specifications, packaging constraints, and manufacturability.


• Support program timelines, deliverables, and design milestones.

Design Reviews & Documentation:

• Lead and contribute to design reviews throughout the development cycle.


• Maintain documentation of design assumptions, calculations, and validation plans.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or master’s in mechanical engineering or related field.


• Experienced in mechanical design within power electronics or related automotive systems.


• Proficient in Siemens NX and Teamcenter for 3D modeling and drawing creation.


• Strong understanding of mechanical fundamentals and safety standards for high-voltage systems.


• Demonstrated experience in packaging complex components within tight system constraints.


• Excellent communication skills and experience in technical reviews.

Preferred (Non-Essential) Qualifications:

• Experience with cell-to-busbar welding processes.


• Exposure to cell thermal management in HV battery or inverter systems.


• Basic experience with structural/component-level FEA.
