Job Description:
Supernal is at the forefront of creating emerging mobility
solutions that will foster the development of human-centered
cities. We are designing a completely new electric vertical
take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft tailored to the mobility
needs of future cities. This allows passengers a seamless
intermodal journey that safely transports them to their final
destination. We fuse research in autonomy, robotics, aviation and
services to define a new category of mobility for the world's
communities. We believe in creative thinking and collaboration to
help build a better mobility experience for everyone, improving
people's ability to move - whether for work or play. What we do:
The Battery Pack Team is responsible for designing and prototyping
high-voltage and high-power battery systems in electrified
aircraft. The electronics packaging engineer for battery pack
design is critical to the Energy Storage System (ESS) development
process, including conceptual designs, components selection,
prototype builds, and launch designs for volume manufacture. The
Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer, Battery Electronics Packaging, will
design the mechanical aspects of electrical components and their
packaging. The Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (EVTOL
contains high-voltage printed circuit boards, flex circuits, cable
harnesses, laminated bus bars, and sense circuits. The main
responsibility of this role will be to plan and ensure the
protection of these electronic components in the Supernal battery
pack designs. Supernal provides an inviting open-space workplace
designed to foster collaboration, which aligns with one of their
core values. This position is required to work on-site 5 days a
week. What you can do: Drive mechanical design of electrical
components, interconnects, and electromechanical subsystem designs
from conceptual and requirements development through production
Select, prove, and implement the application of existing
technologies to internal product development and develop new
technologies to improve product metrics; for electromechanical
components, this may include interconnects (solder bonds, welds,
ribbon bonds, connectors, terminal lugs, spring fingers, etc.) and
packaging interfaces (PCBA layup, flex layup, layout, vias, bolted
mounts, heat stakes, over molding, snap fits, thermal interface
materials, heat sink interfaces, harness insulation, shielding,
strain relief, and cable management, etc) Provide technical
expertise and mentorship to the team in electronics packaging and
mechanical design of electronic components, such as wire harnesses,
flexible printed circuit boards, connectors, laminated bus bars,
and voltage, current, and temperature sense technologies Define
specifications pertaining to electronic components (dimensional and
dielectric, functional, performance, reliability, survivability,
component manufacturing, and interface manufacturing Perform
fundamental prototyping, testing, and analysis tasks and provide
assistance for advanced analysis and validation testing Identify
the root cause of issues in prototype, validation, and production
stages and help in finding solutions for them Communicate work
progress to department leadership through written and live updates,
representing both individual and team efforts Collaborate with
teams at Supernal sites and meet with suppliers for technology
development, process validation, and issue resolution Build
relationships with critical multi-functional teams in electrical
design, testing, safety, abuse, manufacturing, systems,
certification, and airframes Partner with PMO organization to
implement build plan Up to 10% of domestic and international travel
Other duties as assigned What you can contribute: Bachelor's degree
in mechanical engineering or relevant engineering field required;
Dual degrees in mechanical and electrical engineering preferred
Minimum of five (5) years of experience in electromechanical
component and subsystem design (an equivalent combination of
education and experience may be considered) Experience designing
electronic components: wire harnesses, connectors, flex printed
circuit boards, laminated bus bars, voltage, current, and
temperature sense circuits Experience designing for volume
assembly, including manual and automated processes Ability to
package electronics to achieve mass, thermal performance, sealing
requirements, electrical grounding behavior, mechanical durability
Knowledge of mechanical design fundamentals, electronic component
materials, metallurgy, plating, interconnects, composites,
harnesses, connectors, construction, thermal interface materials,
dielectric materials, sealing methods Ability to translate product
requirements into system and subsystem requirements Ability to
translate subsystem requirements to part requirements and develop
test plans to validate requirement achievement Proficiency in CATIA
or similar 3D modeling system and at least one battery system
modeling/simulation tool suite Excellent verbal and written
communication skills Proactive delivery of communication and follow
up Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail Must
have the ability to independently prioritize and accomplish work
within time constraints Proficiency with Excel VLOOKUP, pivot
tables, MS Office Suite You may also be able to contribute:
