Staff Mechanical Engineer - Mobility

Resonant Link envisions a world with untethered batteries to electrify the future of work, logistics, transportation, and patient care, enabling a healthier, more sustainable future. Our innovative, world-class team focuses on transforming wireless charging to:

1. Power fleets while they work: integrating our fast, wireless chargers into the stops that already exist during fleet operation (think pick stations for robots or loading docks for forklifts).
2. Eliminate drivelines and battery replacement surgeries, for patients, forever: integrating our fast, efficient, and tiny wireless chargers into active, implantable medical devices like neurostimulators, pumps, and pacemakers.

As a Staff Mechanical Engineer - Mobility at Resonant Link, you will be a technical leader enabling autonomous charging of electric vehicle fleets by tackling the most challenging heat transfer, structural, and integration challenges on Resonant Link’s ground-breaking wireless chargers. Not only will you will own conceptualization and design of critical mechanical sub-systems, but you will work together with Resonant Link’s world class engineering team to assess and solve high-leverage interdisciplinary aspects of our products.

On an average day, you’ll..

• Make key architectural decisions for power-dense wireless chargers for the world’s most demanding applications and critical customers.
• Innovate and apply advance engineering concepts and technical requirements such as thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid-mechanics, vibration, shock, and physical properties data into functional product definition designs, analyses, and tests for packaging power-dense wireless chargers
• Execute the design, analysis, test and assembly using engineering principles and adhering to standards, practices, procedures and product requirements.
• Design and create electromechanical prototypes which can be used to inform and drive design decisions
• Utilize your experience or expertise to solve problems, develop and execute objectives for self and lead others, and have the ability to effect short-term and long-term business goals
• Work closely with our world-leading power electronics, magnetics and embedded software team to converge on integration solutions for multiple subsystems.
• Set the standard on technical excellence, and mentor others to follow in your lead
• Manage vendors and production partners to drive delivery of key hardware to schedule and cost

The team you’ll be joining:

Our core values include our commitments to Deliver on Every Promise and that Together is Better, and we’ve built a team to reflect those.
