Mechanical Engineer – Advanced Battery Systems
Brisbane, QLD | Contract (with potential to extend)
Are you a hands‐on Senior Mechanical Engineer with a passion for innovation and next‐generation energy solutions?
A cutting‐edge technology company is seeking a talented engineer to help design and deliver advanced battery systems for use across automotive, marine, aerospace and industrial applications.
This is a contract offering the opportunity to work on real‐world projects that move from concept to production, collaborating with a team at the forefront of battery performance and reliability.
What You'll Be Doing
* Designing custom battery assemblies and high‐current power circuits (harnesses and busbars).
* Developing enclosures for batteries and electronic assemblies, optimising for thermal, vibration and impact performance.
* Using simulation and validation to test and refine designs.
* Creating key documentation such as technical drawings, BOMs and product requirements.
* Researching and applying manufacturing methods for both low‐ and high‐volume production.
* Managing products within a PLM/PDM environment and guiding product decisions in a multi‐disciplinary team.
What We're Looking For
* A Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
* 4 years' + post‐graduate design experience, ideally with complex assemblies.
* Proficiency in 3D parametric modelling software (SolidWorks or Inventor).
* Strong knowledge of manufacturing methods such as CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, injection moulding, and 3D printing.
* Experience taking products from concept through to production (including DFMEA, DFA/DFX, BOM management).
* Familiarity with GD&T and a practical approach to prototyping.
* Excellent analytical, problem‐solving and collaboration skills.
Highly regarded but not essential
* Exposure to electronic principles or power electronics.
* Experience with Atlassian tools (Confluence, Jira).
* Background in defence, aerospace or other safety‐critical industries.
Why You'll Love It
* Work on industry‐leading technology in a fast‐paced, start‐up style environment.
* See your designs come to life in cutting‐edge battery systems with real‐world impact.
* Competitive hourly/daily rate and the chance to extend beyond the initial contract.
If you're a talented engineer excited by innovation and advanced energy technology, we'd love to hear from you.
