Structural Design Engineer - Battery Packs
Position Summary :
Lead the structural design and simulation of battery pack structures from concept development through prototyping, validation, certification, and production release. Apply solid engineering mechanics and simulation-driven design principles to deliver robust, cost-effective, and manufacturable solutions for Caterpillar applications.
Key Responsibilities and Qualifications
1. Develop structural architectures and production-ready designs for battery pack frames, enclosures, mounting systems,



cross-members, brackets, covers, and supporting components.
2. Work with Caterpillar machine and application teams to define operational loads, duty cycles, mounting interfaces, stiffness targets, environmental conditions, installation constraints, acceptance criteria, and structural design margins.
3. Apply strong fundamentals in engineering mechanics, strength of materials, structural dynamics, vibration, fatigue, load-path development, and mechanical joint design.
4. Establish representative load cases and boundary conditions for machine operation, transportation, lifting, handling, installation, shock, and vibration. Define effective load paths through the battery pack, mounting system, and machine structure.
5. Perform linear and nonlinear FEA, including static, modal, frequency-response, random-vibration, shock, and fatigue analyses, to evaluate stress, deformation, stiffness, structural margins,
