Mechanical Engineer

As our Equipment/Design Engineer, you'll design and develop the mechanical systems behind LICAP's battery electrode production equipment - taking new electrode processes from concept through to large-scale manufacturing. You'll own designs end to end: mechanical assemblies, schedules, BOMs, and performance parameters, working with vendors and cross-functional teams to build and validate the equipment that brings our advanced dry-electrode technology to production scale. This is a hands‑on role for an engineer who wants to see their designs move from the drawing board to the factory floor. What you'll do Design mechanical assemblies for battery electrode production equipment, develop schedules, BOM, and performance parameters. Research and develop new battery electrode processes to accommodate manufacturing of new products for large scale production. Resolve problems by examining and evaluating data and select the appropriate corrective actions. Research and select vendors for construction of mechanical equipment designs. Test and evaluate vendor assemblies for performance and adherence to design specifications. Organize and participate in project meetings. Qualifications BS or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics or ability to show significant relevant experience. More than 5 years of working experience in industrial machine design. Familiar with the fundamental theory of flat rolling and roll forming machines. Familiar with finite element analysis methods. Familiar with Solidworks design software. Have innovative ideas and a high degree of creativity. Have a track record of success in developing new technologies and products. Have significant experience in new materials, design processes, product development, and the ability to transfer new products into large-scale production equipment. Familiar with statistical analysis methods and the ability to design and evaluate test methodologies. Able to determine material and product specifications and determine required design tolerances. Have excellent communication skills and writing ability.
