We need a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to make it easier to charge electric cars

In the future, we hope that there will be an EV charger at every destination.

When there's an EV charger at every destination, we think more people will choose electric vehicles, because:

• They can recharge their car wherever they're going
• They can recharge their car whenever they need to
• They can recharge their car safely (even when sleeping)

And when more people are driving electric, there will be less harmful emissions from transportation. We think that’s worth fighting for, even if our contribution is relatively small.

As the Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, you will be responsible for leading the mechanical design of our charging stations, including enclosure design, thermal management, and structural analysis. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate mechanical systems with electrical, software, and hardware components, and develop and implement design standards and best practices to ensure high-quality, reliable products.

Responsibilities

Here are some of the key responsibilities of the Senior Mechanical Design Engineer role:

• Lead the mechanical design of charging stations, including enclosure design, thermal management, and structural analysis.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate mechanical systems with electrical, software, and hardware components.
• Develop and implement design standards and best practices to ensure high-quality, reliable products.
• Work closely with project managers to ensure that projects are completed on time and within budget.
• Manage and mentor junior mechanical engineers to help them grow and develop in their roles.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest industry trends and technologies, and bring new ideas and solutions to the team.

Qualifications

To be considered for this role, you should have the following qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• Minimum of 7 years of experience in mechanical design, preferably in the automotive or renewable energy industries.
• Proficient in CAD software (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, etc.) and experience with FEA analysis.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
• Ability to lead and manage projects from concept to completion, ensuring that they are completed on time and within budget.
• A passion for sustainable technologies and a desire to make a positive impact on the environment.

We are looking for a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer who is passionate about sustainable technologies and is excited about the opportunity to design innovative products that will help accelerate the transition to clean energy.

About Amina Charging

Amina Charging was founded in Stavanger in 2021.

It was founded on the belief that there should be an EV charger at every destination if electric cars are going to be as popular in the rest of the world as it has become in Norway, where we’re from. But if there’s going to be EV chargers everywhere in the future, there needs to be a high-quality alternative that is easy to use and affordable for everyone.

With $10m in funding from climate-friendly investors and our extensive experience in EV charging, electrical engineering and business development, we launched our first simple, safe and affordable EV charger in October 2022. The quick launch was in large part thanks to a strong belief in a culture of trust, inclusiveness, clarity and respect that lets our people thrive.

Now, more than 30 people work for Amina to make the vision of an EV charger at every destination a reality – so more people can choose electric vehicles, wherever they’re going.
