Job Title
Structural Analysis Engineer - ESS Location
San Francisco Bay area, CA Department
Energy Storage Systems Engineering Reports to
Manager, Mechanical Engineering Position Type
Full time About the Job
Peak Energy is looking for a Structural Analysis Engineer to lead aid the development of our gigawatt scale energy storge system. This person will be a key stakeholder in structural design decisions, from architecture to optimization to validation. They will work with internal design and manufacturing partners, along with external partners, to provide engineering trades and guidance. This person has strong fundamentals while bringing a practical and can-do attitude to the role. Responsibilities
Structural Analysis
Guide and inform Energy Storage System structural design: Define relevant loading conditions, analysis and validation strategy Perform detailed static and dynamic structural analysis of systems and components, determining stress, strain, frequency response, and fatigue characteristics using first principles, hand calculations, and FEA. Propose design modifications to enhance structural reliability and performance Simulation and Modeling
Develop and validate simulation models for structural analysis Utilize advanced computational tools and techniques, such as finite element analysis (FEA) Testing and Validation
Design and oversee experimental tests to validate models and predictions Work with test engineers to analyze and correlate test data, and to incorporate findings into simulation model and design improvements Collaboration and Communication
Work closely with cross-functional teams, including development, manufacturing, and quality assurance Present analysis results and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders Drive and participate in a culture of rapid prototyping and testing A great team spirit and get-it-done attitude. No job is too big or too small Minimum Qualifications
Master’s or PhD Bachelor’s degree in field related to mechanical, civil, aerospace or structural engineering 2+ years of experience working with large scale structural and electrical systems Proficiency in simulation software such as ABAQUS, ANSYS, or similar Proficiency in pre-and-post processing software such as Hypermesh, ANSA, or similar Experience with design and manufacturing of medium to high volume products Experience with hands on testing and model validation Eligible to work in the U.S. Preferred Qualifications
Master’s or PhD in field related to mechanical, civil, aerospace or structural engineering Experience with transportation durability, random vibration, and road load analysis Experience with fatigue analysis software such as nCode, fe-safe, or similar Experience with seismic simulation Experience work with HV switch gear Experience working with large scale battery storage systems The salary range for this role is $140,000 - $175,000, with actual pay varying based on work location, experience, and skills. Our competitive benefits package includes flexible time off, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, a strong 401(k) plan, and equity opportunities.
