DescriptionLead the mechanical design of next-generation high-performance battery systems used in motorsport, hypercar, defence and advanced mobility applications.
As Design Manager, you will build and develop the mechanical battery design capability at BOLD, owning design direction from concept to production while leading a team of engineers in a fast-growing deep‐tech environment.
This role combines leadership, hands‐on technical decision‐making and strong cross‐functional collaboration, directly impacting the delivery of cutting‐edge electrification products.
The RoleYou will play a key role in scaling BOLD's battery design function as we move from advanced development into industrialisation. Your mission is to ensure battery mechanical design solutions are innovative, manufacturable and robust, while developing a high‐performing team and driving technical excellence.
What You Will Do
Lead and develop the mechanical battery design team, fostering ownership, technical excellence and growth.
Own mechanical design direction for battery packs from concept through validation and production.
Drive Design for Manufacturing (DFM), supplier collaboration and technical validation activities.
Review architecture decisions, drawings, BOMs and design documentation across projects.
Manage technical risks, trade‐offs and design iterations in complex programmes.
Collaborate closely with Systems, Simulation, Electrical, Manufacturing and Project teams.
Support customer discussions, pre‐sales activities and technical proposals when needed.
Why This Role Is Interesting
Work on real high‐performance battery products across multiple industries (motorsport, hypercar, defence, advanced mobility).
High level of technical ownership and decision‐making.
Opportunity to build and scale a team in a fast‐growing company.
Exposure to cutting‐edge technologies, materials and manufacturing processes.
Direct impact on products moving from concept to production.
Minimum Requirements
