ABOUT BRELLE

ENERGY FOR WHAT MOVES US.

The next generation of vehicles and aircraft won't be built with yesterday's manufacturing playbook.

Brelle is building a new approach to manufacturing for an increasingly electrified world, bringing together advanced engineering, software, testing, and automated production to develop and build high-performance energy and powertrain systems.

We're a California based, venture backed team working with some of the most demanding names in high performance mobility, including supercars and superbikes. Our work spans novel battery pack architecture, full-stack software, and automated manufacturing, with the goal of making machines lighter, safer, and more capable.

We're building something ambitious, and we're still early. That means real ownership, difficult technical problems, and the opportunity to see your work move from an idea to something real. We value people who think beyond their job description, challenge conventional approaches, and follow through on what they take on.

Build something exceptional. Own your work. See it move.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Staff Mechanical Design Engineer, you'll own the design and development of battery module components from concept through production.

You'll work across cell retention, thermal management, safety systems, housing integration, and electromechanical interfaces, partnering closely with electrical, thermal, simulation, and software teams to optimize the complete battery pack and vehicle package.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role where you'll be expected to make sound design decisions, solve complex problems, and drive your work forward with a high degree of autonomy.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Own the design for a new module architecture— cell retention systems, thermal management strategies, safety systems, housing integration, and electromechanical interfaces

- Work with cylinder and pouch cell formats in 400-1000V systems, optimizing weight, thermal performance, cost, and manufacturing feasibility

- Collaborate cross-functionally with Brelle’s electrical, thermal, simulation, and software teams to optimize the complete battery pack package

- Coordinate design work with pack team members to converge on feasibility for function, manufacturing, and reliability of modules in pack and vehicle

- Develop a robust cell venting strategy and propagation protection while meeting manufacturing and cost targets

- Identify and suggest missing requirements needed and drive completion of released requirements

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- Bachelor's or master's degree in mechanical engineering (or equivalent with demonstrated depth)

- 7-8+ years of mechanical design experience in automotive or motorcycle battery/powertrain development

- Advanced CAD proficiency in CATIA V5/V6 (3DX), NX, or SolidWorks: complex assemblies, GD&T, production drawings

- Robust understanding of lithium-ion cell as it relates to electromechanical and safety design constraints

- Understanding of battery system architectures and HV safety requirements (400V+ systems)

- Hands-on structural FEA experience: defining load cases, boundary conditions, interpreting results for design decisions

- Experience with DFM for multiple processes: injection molding, stamping, casting, composites, machining, fabricating

- Experience with DFMEA/DVP&R cycles and design release processes

- Battery module or pack design experience—you've navigated cell-level constraints and thermal management complexity

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Practical hands-on experience in professional or personal projects – interest in working directly on the parts/products in the lab

- Thermal simulation experience (CFD or equivalent)—you understand heat transfer, material selection implications and can develop solutions to meet system-level requirements

- Design experience integrating into vehicle platforms—you understand powertrain architecture and integration challenges

- Experience working at or with automotive OEMs or Tier-1 Suppliers on electrified platforms.

- Proven track record releasing components to production: you've worked in a high-pace environment, participated in design reviews, and understand how designs move from concept to production level parts

HOW WE WORK

Understand the Problem We take the time to understand what we're actually solving before jumping to the obvious answer.

Own What Needs to Happen We take responsibility for outcomes, not just our individual tasks. If something needs to happen, we figure out how to make it happen.

Optimize for the Team We make decisions with the broader team and company in mind, sharing information and helping each other move faster.

Refuse the Obvious Answer We challenge assumptions, explore better approaches, and don't accept "that's how it's always been done."

Keep Your Word We do what we say we'll do. We communicate early when something changes and hold ourselves accountable to our commitments.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Base Salary: $160,000 - $185,000

Meaningful equity participation through Brelle's Employee Incentive Plan.

- Medical, dental, and vision (HMO/PPO)

- 401(k)

- Flexible PTO

- Team meals twice a week

- Monthly team events

Build something exceptional. Own your work. See it move.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
