Job Summary
At Zoox youll collaborate with a team of world-class engineers with diverse backgrounds in areas such as AI robotics mechatronics planning machine learning control localization computer vision rendering simulation distributed computing design and automated testing. You will be challenged to rethink what it means for hardware design to arrive at elegant and efficient systems now that a robot is in control. Working at a startup gives you the chance to manifest your creativity and make a big difference in the final product.
As a Charging System Mechanical Engineer your focus will be on the mechanical design of components for the L5 Electric Vehicles High Voltage distribution and Charging systems. You will lead module development managing the entire process from prototype to production alongside tier-one suppliers. This role requires defining system requirements based on a first-principles design approach and ensuring all components meet strict international standards (SAE UL IEC ISO). You will also be responsible for creating critical documentation including 3D/2D computer-aided drawings and detailed technical specifications. A major part of your work will involve cross-functional collaboration to break down and solve complex problems identify root causes of failures develop mitigation strategies and integrate these learnings into new designs.
- Design and develop mechanical components including enclosures grommets brackets and assemblies for low to high-volume production.
- Manage supplier engagement and programs overseeing both build-to-print and build-to-specification efforts.
- Execute packaging reviews and detailed tolerance stack-up analyses.
- Collaborate with internal cross-functional teams (e.g. electrical test manufacturing) and external partners to define requirements iterate on designs and gather technical feedback.
- Validate mechanical designs by performing structural modal and thermal analyses.
- Develop detailed work instructions for production in partnership with manufacturing engineers and technicians.
- Sustain and continuously improve existing programs based on lessons learned from test campaigns and real-world fleet operations feedback.
- Manage and track system requirements and compliance using the Polarion requirements management system.
- Execute failure mode analysis identifying root causes of failures developing mitigation strategies and integrating these learnings into new designs.
- Bachelors degree or equivalent degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience
- 2 years of experience in vehicle design
- Experience with mechanical design for power electronic devices
- Experience with the casting of metal components
- Experience with injection molding of plastic components
- Knowledge of automotive development/release process and long-term schedule planning
- Proficiency with CATIA V5 or V6 CAD software
- Experience managing requirements and compliance in Polarion.
- Familiarity with Jira
- Experience at an automotive OEM
- Familiarity with industry testing standards - SAE MIL UN UL GB/T GTR
