Job description

ALTEN Mexico, is a leading engineering company that specializes in providing innovative solutions for engineering, technology, and product development projects. We work directly with different industries including Automotive, Energy, Aeronautics, Banking & Insurance, Telecom & Multimedia, and Rail; offering services ranging from project design development to test/validation, programming, implementation, and manufacturing.

ALTEN Mexico as a subsidiary of the ALTEN Group. Currently working with international clients, and we are looking for Mechanical Engineers who will contribute to the development of an Iron Air Battery, a large-scale energy storage solution, to design and optimize the mechanical, thermal, plastics, and electrical routing systems of the Iron Air Battery to ensure functionality, durability, and manufacturability.

Location: Remote
Experience Level: 3+ years
English: B2–C1

Key Responsibilities

• Design mechanical, thermal, and plastic components (e.g., structures, radiators, housings, ducts).
• Perform thermal, structural, and fatigue analyses to ensure component integrity.
• Optimize designs for weight reduction, cost efficiency, and manufacturability (DFM/DFA).
• Develop 2D/3D technical drawings and documentation (BOM, GD&T).
• Validate designs through physical testing (e.g., load, vibration, corrosion tests).
• Integrate mechanical, thermal, and electrical systems to ensure overall functionality.
• Collaborate with CAE, EE, and manufacturing teams to align designs with project requirements.
• Ensure compliance with safety and industry standards (e.g., UL, IEC, ASME).
• Must‑Have Qualifications
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics Engineering or related fields.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks.
