Senior/StaffManufacturingEngineer-HighVoltageBatteryAssembly

## Description The Manufacturing Engineering team at Zoox bridges the gap between vehicle architecture and scaled, physical production by planning, developing, and implementing our advanced assembly lines. We thrive on a collaborative culture marked by openness, innovation, and supportive technical problem-solving to help make cities safer, smarter, and more sustainable.  As a key technical owner, you will transition complex battery architectures from prototype environments into scaled, automated production lines. This role offers deep professional growth as you collaborate across hardware, software, and safety teams to drive the manufacturing strategy for our proprietary energy storage systems. This position requires ~25% travel.  ## In this role, you will Define and execute the manufacturing strategy, assembly sequences, and tooling requirements for high-voltage battery packs and modules. Lead factory layout planning, clean room specifications, and specialized environmental controls to ensure safe and efficient component handling. Develop, validate, and standardize critical battery manufacturing processes, focusing on precision laser welding and automated cell handling. Implement rigorous End-of-Line testing procedures, including high-potential and leak testing, while enforcing strict high-voltage safety and electrostatic discharge protocols. Partner with Battery and Powertrain design engineering teams during early development phases to optimize layouts for automated assembly, thermal management, and serviceability. Author comprehensive engineering standards, process failure mode analyses, and technical requirements for automated production lines. Manage technical relationships with tier-1 equipment suppliers and integrators from initial concept through factory acceptance testing and final line commissioning. ## Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
