Lead Structures & Analysis Engineer BrelleLead Structures & Analysis EngineerLos Alamitos, CaliforniaOur hardware lives in a demanding multi-physics environment (i.e. mechanical loads interacting with thermal, electrical, and safety requirements), so we’re especially interested in engineers who have worked on battery packs, energy storage, EV structures, spacecraft, aircraft, or motorsport, and who understand how structural decisions ripple through the rest of the system. Lead structural test campaigns: Define test plans, instrumentation (strain gauges, accelerometers, thermocouples, DIC), and pass/fail criteria for coupon, component, and assembly-level tests — static, dynamic, drop, crush, and abuse.
