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
Knowledge Generic
- PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical engineering, Materials engineering, and equivalent
- At least 3 years of industrial experience in battery mechanical modelling and designs
