Mechanical Engineer-Intern

Position: Mechanical Engineer – Intern

Location: Bangalore (On-site)

Duration: 6 Months

Qualification: B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering or related fields

About Us

At EMO Energy, we're a fast-moving deep-tech startup revolutionizing electric mobility. We build a complete end-to-end EV technology stack, from high-performance battery systems to intelligent control electronics. Our focus is on innovation, speed, and real-world impact, with products designed and developed from the ground up.

Job Summary

The Mechanical Engineer – Intern will work closely with our Battery R&D team to experiment, analyse, and optimise charging profiles for advanced battery systems. This role involves hands-on experimentation, data collection, and analysis to improve battery performance and lifecycle. It provides a unique opportunity to gain exposure to innovative EV technology and contribute to real-world solutions in the sustainable mobility sector.

What You Will Do

• Understanding Cell Cycling and Data Collection including charge/discharge cycles and health metrics.
• Set up and operate lab equipment like cyclers and battery testing setups while adhering to safety protocols and collect and log data related to charge/discharge cycles, voltage, current, temperature, and capacity degradation.
• Experimentation with Different Charging Profiles and conduct baseline tests using standard charging profiles to establish reference performance metrics.
• Design and execute experiments with various fast-charging profiles, optimising parameters such as current rates, charging times, and rest intervals.
• Analyse the impact of different profiles on battery lifecycle, focusing on both short-term capacity and long-term health.
• Evaluate cycle performance data to determine efficiency, cycle life, and capacity degradation rates and develop basic predictive models (potentially utilizing Machine Learning) for estimating lifecycle impacts based on charging profiles.
• Identify optimal charging curves using data-driven approaches to balance speed and battery longevity.
• Maintain detailed documentation of experiments, methodologies, and results and prepare interim and final reports summarizing key findings and recommended practices.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to explore machine learning applications in battery health monitoring.
