We are currently seeking Battery Modeling Engineers, senior levels or above, to develop Multiphysics model can predict thermal and electrochemical performance. Senior level candidates with solid multi-dimensional Multiphysics battery model background, and technical specialist level candidates with broader modeling and experimental validation skill sets are both encouraged to apply.

This position requires a creative and analytical mindset with experience in modeling lithium-ion batteries. A successful candidate should be a quick learner and detailed oriented. This position will be expected to possess the ability to strive for perfection within a fast-paced environment.

 

The Role

Develop Multiphysics models of lithium-ion batteries under extreme operating conditions based on cell structure, electrochemistry knowledge, and test. Develop multi-dimensional battery models to predict cell behavior including but not necessarily limited to heat flux, electrochemical and thermal response, and safety related performance Collaborate with cross-functional team to optimize cell design by predicting thermal and electrochemical performances under extreme conditions with given design space. Work with cross-functional teams to develop, test, and maintain your model Review academic papers and provide insight summary for team members Work with intellectual property team to patent your inventions

 

Qualifications

MS with over 5 years of industrial experience or PhD degree in EE, ME, CS, Math, Physics, Chemistry, Materials Fundamental knowledge of commercial Li-ion cell structure and electrochemical/thermal behavior Experienced in creating multi-dimensional structure and run CFD models for electrochemical/thermal systems. Familiar with battery testing equipment and test protocol Excellent communication skills and team-oriented attitude Comfortable with initiating and taking ownership of projects

 

Preferred

Experienced in CFD model package (e.g. Ansys Fluent) other than COMSOL for battery simulation Experience in modeling of mechanical structure of the cylindrical or prismatic battery cell. Experienced in thermal test using the battery cell/module/pack Experienced in thermal runaway and propagation simulation Fluency in other programming languages such as python, C, or MATLAB.
