Today the Enphase Energy System helps people make use save and sell their own power. Enphase is also one of the fastest growing and innovative clean energy companies in the world with approximately80million products installed across more than160countries.
We are building teams that are designing developing and manufacturing next-generation energy technologies and our work environment is fast-paced fun and full of exciting new projects.
If you are passionate about advancing a more sustainable future this is the perfect time to join Enphase!
Must be available to work on-site at our Bangalore office5 days per week.
About the role:
As a Principal Mechanical Engineer you will lead the design and development of Enphases next-generation energy storage systems. This role requires deep expertise in electromechanical design involving polymers metals rubbers and complex assemblies that interface with PCBs and highpower electrical components.
You will collaborate with global crossfunctional engineering reliability compliance and operations teams and your ability to communicate design intent trade-offs risks and solutions clearlyboth verbally and in writingis essential.
In this role you will drive new product development with focus on reliability cost and scalability of highvolume energystorage products.
What you will do:
- Develop and own end-to-end mechanical architectures for new battery and energy storage products.
- Create mechanical design concepts evaluate tradeoffs and lead a team of mechanical contributors.
- Perform handson CAD design (3D/2D) rapid design iterations tolerance analysis and detailed documentation.
- Lead DFMEA DFA/DFM and early design reviews to ensure manufacturability reliability and cost effectiveness.
- Componentreview and approval including interfacing with vendors during different stages of development.
- Generating own (and reviewing others) documentation including concept proposals analysis reportscomponentspecifications review minutes
- Design and execute comprehensive test plans(Inhouse and external lab)to verify mechanical performance against design specifications including static and dynamic loading fatigue testing environmental testing and reliability testing.
- Analyze test dataidentifypotential issues and implement design improvements to address any deficiencies.
