Résumé du poste

Exponent is seeking an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer to develop sheet metal components for the e^pump and optimize packaging for cost, safety, and performance. You will drive structural and thermal designs that are robust, manufacturable, and scalable for rapid EV charging solutions.

You will work within the Engineering team in Bengaluru, collaborating across manufacturing, mold design, and assembly to push the limits of packaging efficiency and product reliability.

Qualifications

• Experience in designing sheet metal components such as enclosures and electrical panels.
• Strong grounding in thermal performance, heat transfer, and packaging for manufacturability.
• Proven ability to take a product from concept to production with strong analytical skills.

Responsabilités

• Designing for weight, volume, thermal performance, and IP sealing (DFM/DFA).
• Performing conceptual designs, calculations, and tolerance analyses.
• Developing test plans to validate subsystems and product performance.
• Conducting root cause analyses for field and test issues.
• Collaborating with manufacturers and mold designers to refine designs.
• Documenting development cycles (FMEA, DFX, DVP, inspection plans).

Description du poste

You’ll be working with the Engineering team.

This team runs on coffee with an infectious passion to build products that have never been built before. Our Flexible Energy Stack consists of the e^pack (battery pack) and e^pump (charging station), which together unlock 15-minute rapid charging.

Our philosophy: Break. Believe. Build

Break stuff. Break assumptions. Break the thumb rule.
Believe in the team. Believe in the process. Believe through failures.
Build fast. Build passionately. Build to simplify.

Role Description

We are looking for an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer to develop sheet metal components (e.g., enclosures, electrical panels) and optimize packaging for the e^pump. You will drive structural and thermal designs that are efficient, cost-effective, and manufacturable while meeting safety and performance requirements.

Responsibilities

• Designing for weight, volume, thermal performance, and IP sealing while ensuring serviceability and manufacturability (DFM/DFA).
• Performing conceptual designs, theoretical calculations, and tolerance stack analyses.
• Developing and executing test plans to validate subsystems and full product performance.
• Conducting root cause analyses (RCAs) for issues during testing and field deployment.
• Collaborating with manufacturers, assembly teams, and mold designers to refine designs based on feedback.
• Documenting the product development cycle from concept to production stabilization (FMEA, DFX, DVP, inspection plans, etc.).

What You Bring

• Expertise in structural design, thermal systems, and electro-mechanical packaging.
• Strong understanding of fluid systems, heat transfer (conductive/convective), and refrigeration basics.
• Hands-on experience with mechanical assembly, IP sealing, and optimizing packaging for cost and performance.
• Solid knowledge of materials (Metals, Plastics, Composites, Elastomers) and their applications.
• Proven experience in taking a product from concept to production, backed by strong mathematical and analytical skills.

What matters

• Quality of work
• Approach towards problem-solving
• Dissatisfaction towards mediocre work
• Resilient attitude to bounce back after failing
