YOUR MISSION AT VOI

As a Mechanical Engineer in Voi’s Vehicle HW team, you will play a key role in developing the next generations of our vehicles - from setting requirements and guiding and reviewing suppliers’ end-to-end work including concept design, testing and industrialisation. You will safeguard that the hardware we bring to market is high performing i.e. safe , reliable, great UX, easily repairable and built for scale, together with colleagues across R&D, Quality, Supply Chain and our markets.

In this role you will:

• Lead the end-to-end co-development of next-generation vehicle hardware in close collaboration with suppliers and Voi teams

• Define engineering requirements and specifications, provide feedback on concepts and designs, and review supplier test plans and reports to ensure solutions meet Voi’s performance, reliability and repairability targets.

• Support root cause analysis, and work with suppliers and internal teams to develop robust mitigation and resolution actions - feeding learnings into future hardware generations.

• Design new add-ons and variants in-house, taking full ownership from requirements and drive the project end-to-end including CAD design, sample evaluation, testing, verification and industrialisation.

• Work hands-on with sample builds and mass produced vehicles to assess, design improvements across multiple dimensions including serviceability, UX and operational handling in our workshops and markets.

• Travel regularly (approximately quarterly) to China for a few weeks at a time, as well as to Voi markets in Europe, to work closely with suppliers and support in-field issues.

You will collaborate with a broad set of stakeholders including suppliers’ project managers and engineers, the wider Vehicle HW team (mechanical, electrical, test and certification), Quality, Supply Chain, IoT & SW, Product and local market teams.

WHAT YOU NEED TO EMBARK

You are a hands-on mechanical engineer who enjoys owning the full development process and working at the intersection of design, suppliers, testing and operations. You thrive in a scale-up environment, are energised by collaboration and are motivated by seeing your designs roll out on the streets for our customers to use on a daily basis.

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in an engineering discipline, ideally Mechanical Engineering.

• Strong end-to-end experience in mechanical product development, including requirement setting, design, testing and verification, and industrialisation.

• Proven experience working closely with suppliers, ideally Chinese suppliers, on co-development projects.

• Extensive experience with CAD, and solid exposure to CAE and FEA tools, applied throughout the development process.

• Experience conducting hands-on assessments and driving design improvements related to repairability, serviceability and field performance.

• Experience working with DFMEA and PFMEA, and with reliability-focused testing and verification.

• Comfortable collaborating with cross-functional teams such as project managers, electrical engineers, test and verification engineers, Quality, Procurement, Firmware and Supply Chain.

• Excellent problem-solving skills; being data driven and able to work with SQL is a strong plus.

• Strong communication skills, enabling efficient collaboration with suppliers and internal stakeholders.

• Fluency in English, written and spoken; proficiency in Chinese is a plus.

• Ability to manage and prioritise multiple projects simultaneously, including regular international travel.
