Battery Modeling Engineer

You will develop fundamental models to characterize batteries and support design, development, and material research.

Responsibilities

• Develop 3D thermal-electrochemical models coupling electrochemical reactions, diffusion, expansion, and thermal effects.
• Use models to optimize material property design, pre-lithiation processes, and predict cell or pack temperature profiles.
• Simulate local shorting and analyze the effects of Li non-uniformity and high C-rates on performance.
• Collaborate with manufacturing, testing, NPI, and sales teams to communicate modeling insights.
• Create intellectual property and represent technical products at industry conferences.

Required Skills

• Proficiency in building thermo-electrochemical models using ABAQUS, COMSOL, GT, or Ansys/FLUENT.
• Experience in battery electrochemistry and electrode structure design.
• Expertise in creating reduced order models for practical applications.
• Background in chemical engineering, electrochemistry, or battery modeling.
• At least 5 years of professional work experience.
• Degree in engineering, physics, chemistry, or a related discipline.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with Pseudo-2D models (PyBaMM) and single particle models.
• Proficiency in Python, including Pandas, Scikit-learn, optimization algorithms, and visualization libraries.
