Job details:
You'll be working with the engineering team.
This team runs on coffee and an infectious passion for building products that have never been built before. Our Flexible Energy Stack — the e^pack (battery pack) and e^pump (charging station) — together unlock 15-minute rapid charging.
Our philosophy: Break. Believe. Build.
- Break stuff. Break assumptions. Break the thumb rule
- Believe in the team. Believe in the process. Believe through failures
- Build fast. Build passionately. Build to simplify
Role Description
As CAD Manager in Mechanical Engineering, you'll lead the CAD team behind the e^pump and e^pack. You'll own CAD and drawing quality, Teamcenter and ERP data, project BOMs, and release timelines — turning Design Engineering intent into production-ready data.
What you will do
- Lead the CAD team delivering concepts, 3D models and 2D drawings
- Own CAD, drawing and engineering data quality across programmes
- Own Teamcenter, ERP part data and all project BOMs, kept in sync
- Drive release timelines so no build waits on engineering data
Responsibilities
- Defining and enforcing CAD hygiene standards — modelling practice, part and assembly structure, naming and numbering, templates, and clean, lightweight models
- Defining and enforcing drawing hygiene standards — title blocks, GD&T per ASME Y14.5, tolerances, callouts and revision tables — and running drawing checks before release
- Managing engineering data in ERP — part masters, make/buy, and PLM-to-ERP BOM transfer — with Supply Chain, Manufacturing and Quality
- Hiring the right candidate for CAD development at Exponent
- Managing the team's daily tasks and performance
- Owning all project EBOMs with full traceability through every design change
- Continuously improving the CAD and release process through templates, checklists, standard-part libraries, training and audits
The ideal candidate requires
- B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering or related
- 8+ years in mechanical design and data management;
- Experience of leading a CAD team
- Automotive, EV or electro-mechanical experience (strongly preferred)
- Hands-on SolidWorks; GD&T (ASME Y14.5), tolerance stack-ups, DFM/DFA
- Teamcenter or similar PLM, including change management and release workflows
- ERP, BOM structuring, part numbering and configuration management
- Zero tolerance for poor data quality
What matters
Quality of work, problem-solving, dissatisfaction with mediocrity, and resilience after failure.
