Modeling Engineer

Job Title: Senior Engineer - Modelling

Purpose of this role

Senior Battery Mechanical Modelling Engineer

Key Responsibility Areas

• Develop battery 0D/1D physics based swelling model to evaluate battery performance under different conditions
• Integrate the battery 0D/1D mechanical model to 3D models to understand swelling behaviour at different locations
• Design the multi-scale tests from component to system to validate the mechanical models
• Develop FEA mechanical models to optimize mechanical components of the battery considering Electrochemical and thermal aspects
• Develop 3D mechanical models and perform analysis for cell, module, and pack to evaluate early concepts and validate production designs
• Develop models to study the effect of creep and fatigue on cell and module components
• Develop high fidelity crush and cracking model to evaluate effect of mechanical abuse on cell level
• Collaborate broader engineering team (cell design, pack design, and manufacturing) to support design cells, modules, and packs.
• Review academic literature and attend conferences to remain current with new battery technology and competitive products
