Full Job Description
ABOUT BRELLE “Energy for what moves us” defines our mission at Brelle. Based in California, Brelle engineers next-generation platforms for supercars and superbikes, working alongside high-performance brands in the US and Europe. Our innovations are built on a novel battery pack architecture, a full-stack software platform, and automated manufacturing. Joining the team means working on making electric vehicles—on the road and on the racetrack—lighter, more engaging, safer, and capable of charging in minutes. Our engineering teams are structured like small Skunkworks teams – nimble, cross-functional, and technical. Engineers are encouraged to explore new concepts and materials and expected to rapidly go from idea to prototype. We move fast, obsess over the details, and believe the hardest problems are the ones worth solving. Nothing is impossible. If it sounds impossible, it's probably worth working on. ABOUT THE ROLE As a Lead Structures & Analysis Engineer, you will own the structural integrity of our products — from material selection and first-order sizing through detailed FEA, physical test, and correlation back to the model. You’ll work at the intersection of structures, materials, and the wider system. Our 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. You’ll have direct influence over architecture and a mandate to build the analysis capability you think the team needs. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Guide design from day one: Embed with design, manufacturing, and systems engineers to influence architecture early — load paths, joints, materials, and mass. Support mass-optimization, manufacturing and cost/weight/performance trades. - Build and develop the t
