Overview In this role you drive the mechanical design and integration of high-performance systems for Lunar's home energy products. You work closely with a small, cross-functional team to translate engineering principles into reliable, scalable hardware. You will explore new solutions, validate concepts, and support fast-to-market development with hands-on prototyping and testing. Your work will focus on making assemblies that are easy to manufacture at scale while maintaining safety and reliability, contributing to Lunar's mission of 100% clean energy for homes.
Responsibilities- Lead full product development lifecycle for mechanical systems in home energy products
- Collaborate across the company to refine understanding of impact and reliability
- Brainstorm, evaluate, and narrow design options with data-driven analysis
- Test designs through calculations, simulations, and physical experiments
- Design parts and assemblies for high-volume manufacturing and ease of production
- Create and review drawings and specifications; manage BOMs, cost, mass, and vendors
- Define manufacturing processes and inspection methods; support prototypes and production with suppliers
- Collaborate with part manufacturers to enable prototypes and production
- Generate detailed design documentation and drive projects end-to-end across cross-functional teams
- Support manufacturing with process failure modes and effects analysis and preventative maintenance
