Medium; Grenoble; On-site; EUR 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

Verkor Innovation Center in Grenoble, France, seeks a Structural Modelling Engineer to develop and deploy structural modeling capabilities for Li-ion cell, module and pack assemblies.

You will create finite-element and surrogate models, correlate simulations with physical tests, and support design optimization through the full product lifecycle. The role involves collaborating with product teams, leading investigations, and contributing to IP development.

Qualifications

• Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or closely related field.
• 10+ years of experience in structural and thermal modeling, FEM, and model validation.
• Proficiency in CAD, meshing, numerical methods and model order reduction.
• Proficiency in Python and/or Matlab.
• Experience with Abaqus, LS-DYNA or equivalent.
• English proficiency; French is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Develop structural finite-element models for cells, modules and packs.
• Perform meshing on complex 3D CAD designs and run simulations under static and dynamic events.
• Build surrogate and reduced-order models from full-order FEM models.
• Validate simulation models against physical test results and document correlations.
• Collaborate with design engineers to support thermo-mechanical design optimization across the product lifecycle.
• Develop physical test and simulation methods for mechanical characterization of cells, modules, and components.
• Review literature to identify state-of-the-art methods for modeling and analysis.
