About Elkington Motors

We build high-performance electric vehicles that are affordable, personalized, and built to last. Our team is small, fast, and obsessively hands-on, designing, testing, and iterating to ship real product, not slide decks.

The Role

Youll be the mechanical owner who shapes the physical DNA of our EVs. From motor mounts and battery enclosures to thermal management and chassis integration, you will take parts from a blank CAD screen to a physical, bolted-on reality. Expect to wrench, prototype, weld, and iterate until every component survives the rigors of the road and meets our performance targets.

What Youll Do

  • Design and integrate structural components, enclosures, and mounting systems for motors, inverters, and battery packs.
  • Own the thermal management system : routing coolant lines, selecting pumps / heat exchangers, and ensuring batteries and power electronics stay within safe limits.
  • Manage vehicle packaging : resolving complex spatial "puzzles" to fit HV systems, LV harnesses, and cooling into tight chassis envelopes.
  • Prototype and build : use shop tools (mills, lathes, 3D printers, welders) to create test fixtures and "Rev A" parts for immediate vehicle testing.
  • Validate and troubleshoot : perform mechanical testing (vibration, thermal cycling, ingress protection) and diagnose structural or cooling failures.
  • Collaborate with Electrical on grounding, connector mounting, and harness routing; and with Controls on sensor placement.
  • Maintain documentation : own 3D models, 2D drawings (GD&T), Bills of Materials (BOM), and assembly instructions.

Must-Haves

  • B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (required).
  • 6+ years of full-time, professional experience in mechanical design (automotive, aerospace, robotics, or heavy machinery).
  • Advanced CAD Proficiency : SolidWorks, CATIA, or NX (including assemblies, drawings, and basic FEA).
  • Hands-on Fabrication Skills : Comfortable in a shop environment with a deep understanding of machining, sheet metal, and welding.
  • Strong troubleshooting mindset : You can methodically isolate mechanical rattles, leaks, or structural weaknesses and fix them.
  • Startup attitude : Ownership, urgency, and whatever-it-takes follow-through.
  • Nice-to-Haves

  • EV domain exposure : Battery pack design (busbars, cell retention), IP-rated enclosures, or liquid cooling systems.
  • Materials expertise : Deep knowledge of aluminum alloys, composites, or high-performance plastics.
  • DFM / DFA Mastery : Designing for low-to-medium volume production.
  • Vehicle Dynamics : Experience with suspension geometry, braking systems, or chassis tuning.
  • Simulation tools : Experience with CFD (for cooling) or advanced structural FEA.
  • Why Elkington Motors

  • Direct impact : Your work lands in vehicles - fast.
  • Modern tech stack : Latest materials, rapid prototyping tools, and iterative design.
  • Low red tape : Clear goals, quick decisions, high accountability.
  • Competitive pay & benefits : We take care of the people who build the product.
  • Details

  • Start date : Immediate
  • Work setting : On-site, shop / test environment; significant lifting, bending, and vehicle assembly work required.
  • Work authorization : Must be authorized to work in the U.S.
