Job Description:

An innovative, high-growth technology company is developing next-generation energy storage solutions to support the global transition to electrification. Their cutting-edge approach combines advanced materials and novel system design to deliver high-performance battery technologies for future power applications.

As part of their continued growth, they are looking for a Battery Module Engineer to play a key role in translating breakthrough R&D into scalable, real-world products.

Working within a multidisciplinary scale-up team, you’ll be involved in taking early-stage technology through to deployable systems, collaborating closely with engineering, product and commercial teams. This is an excellent opportunity to join a business at a pivotal stage of development, offering strong exposure to innovative technology and the chance to make a tangible impact.

You will support the transition from prototype to production, focusing on cell-to-module integration and system-level design.

Key responsibilities:

  • Scale laboratory concepts into larger, application-ready formats including design, build and validation
  • Develop and optimise mechanical compression systems at both cell and module level
  • Define and implement thermal and gas management strategies
  • Establish and improve quality control processes for components and assemblies
  • Design and integrate electrical interfaces between cells and modules in collaboration with electronics teams
  • Work closely with mechanical engineering teams on design alignment, prototyping and packaging strategies
  • Produce and maintain detailed CAD models and engineering drawings
  • Manage engineering changes, including BOMs, documentation and design traceability
  • Ensure adherence to engineering standards and safe working practices

About You:

  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline (or equivalent experience)
  • Proven experience taking products from prototype through to production
  • Background in complex engineering environments (battery or energy storage experience beneficial but not essential)
  • Strong understanding of Design for Manufacture (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) across metal and plastic components
  • Proficient in CAD, engineering drawings and tolerance analysis
  • Experience delivering projects in fast-paced, evolving environments
  • Able to solve problems effectively in ambiguous or developing technical settings
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly document and share technical information
  • Collaborative, proactive and comfortable working cross-functionally
