Mechanical Engineer - Battery Sorting, Energy Storage

Design, prototype, and implement mechanical assemblies for sorting line subsystems including infeed, outfeed, conveyors, diverters, and guarding. Collaborate with production engineering to troubleshoot and improve existing sorting equipment and processes to maximize throughput and uptime. Apply engineering fundamentals (structural sizing, mechanism design, tolerance analysis) to deliver robust hardware solutions. Create detailed models and engineering drawings in SolidWorks for custom fixtures, brackets, enclosures, and conveyor components. Support machine activation alongside the controls engineering team; participate in development testing and validation runs with production engineering. Assist with integration of sensors, cameras, and actuators into mechanical assemblies, ensuring hardware interfaces support the ML-based classification and computer vision pipeline. Contribute novel mechanical concepts and designs with the potential to generate intellectual property and patents.
