About Us

Moxion is a vertically integrated manufacturer of all-electric mobile power and energy storage solutions. We have developed commercial-scale, powerful, silent, and emissions-free mobile battery stations that are designed to replace traditional diesel generators in most applications today. We’re pioneering mobile energy storage technology, leveraging vertical integration and a software-enabled service model to deliver last-mile electrification for our customers and communities. The Moxion team is a passionate group of humans who care about the environment and disrupting the diesel economy. Come build the first distributed utility with us, propelling the biggest energy transformation of our lifetime.

The Senior Mechanical Designer will drive program level designs and documentation for High Voltage product design solutions. You’ll be responsible for exercising strong engineering fundamentals and 3D CAD tools to create designs that stretch across all segments of the unit. This is a unique opportunity to support a fast-paced design team to optimize and integrate components and systems in order to maximize appearance, function, and performance.

What you’ll do:

  • Generate both conceptual and detailed designs for HV systems.
  • Provide design recommendations and/or solutions to Engineering team members.
  • Create CAD models, parts and assemblies in 3D and 2D using Solidworks and EPDM.
  • Actively participate and present concepts at design reviews with both internal staff, as well as with suppliers at specific times in the design lifecycle of components.
  • Develop innovative solutions to accommodate systems, product, and customer requirements.
  • Work as part of a team of release designers, engineers and manufacturing engineers to bring prototype and production designs to serial production.
  • Design components such as injection molded plastics, sheet metal, extrusion parts, stamped, welded, and machine parts.
  • Create and track appropriate project tasks, notes, actions and decision documentation.
  • Provide CAD guidance, peer checking, and expertise to other Engineering & Design Team members.
  • Prepare and communicate best practices and standard procedure documentation to create efficiencies and streamline processes.
  • Understand and apply geometric and form dimensioning and tolerancing calculations of multiple part assemblies.

Skills to be successful:

  • Extensive experience using CAD software (designing, drafting, and concept iterations). Solidworks preferred.
  • Experience and aptitude in injection molding, die casting, sheet metal design and top level assembly management.
  • Knowledge of DFM/DFA.
  • Familiarity with A-surface, UI/UX touchpoints and ergonomics.
  • Capable of developing design solutions with limited direction.
  • Experience with rapid prototyping and part fabrication; including methods and materials.
  • Detail oriented, self-motivated and able to work in a fast paced environment.
  • Demonstrate passion, creativity, agility, and a relentless commitment to excellence and innovation.
  • Influence, mentor, and inspire teammates to deliver great technical solutions.
  • Ability to communicate and collaborate effectively cross-functionally and receive and guide feedback surrounding complex tradeoffs.
  • Basic understanding of tolerances and stackups.
  • Experience prioritizing multiple tasks.
