Job description

About Ample:

Do you want to change the world? Ample, Inc. is a pioneer in the electric vehicle space that is developing a new way to deliver energy to any electric vehicle. At Ample we use advanced robotics to enable modular battery swapping that is as fast and as convenient as visiting a gas station, but cheaper. We are a team of technologists, designers, and environmental enthusiasts who believe this problem to be among the most critical challenges of our time. Join Ample and help us make this a reality for billions of vehicles.

Our co-founders are experienced entrepreneurs and our team is able to solve very complex challenges by combining creative technology design with fast iteration. This is not a company for the faint of heart. You'll be working with a small, intense and highly capable team on cars, robots, and intelligent batteries. If the technology doesn't exist, we're not afraid to dream it and then build it, while always keeping in mind it must be designed for reliability, affordability and easy deployment.

As a Battery Systems Simulation Engineer on our team, you will work on cutting edge battery and robotic systems for mass production. Our ideal candidate loves solving challenging problems for real-world applications. You will work in close collaboration with mechanical, electrical, mechatronics, thermal and test engineers towards the design and development of the next generation battery modules and charging / swapping systems.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Battery system design optimization through Multiphysics simulations
  • Thermal modeling of battery packs/modules/cells (Cooling/Heating, Air/Liquid/PCM)
  • Numerical modeling of battery packs/modules/cells (ECM, ROM, MSMD)
  • Help guide experimental validation and testing from simulation results
  • Define battery system performance specifications through simulation results
  • Thermal management simulation and analysis of a charging station and charging rack of a battery pack.
  • Automation of simulation process and procedure documentation.

REQUIREMENTS:

  • Minimum of 3 years industrial work experience with Multiphysics simulations
  • Strong technical background in working with mechanical/thermal/electrical systems
  • Master's degree in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, physics, chemistry, or electrical engineering, PhD preferred
  • Experience with 3D simulation software: Ansys suite (Mechanical, CFD, LS-dyna, EM), Star-CCM+, COMSOL multiphysics, etc.

BONUS SKILLS:

  • Experience running simulation cases in a multi-core cluster environment (HPC)
  • Experience on complicated system simulation with several hundred parts or more (contact condition, conformal mesh generation)
  • Proficient in Python, C programming
  • Experience in modeling battery packs and modules
  • Process automation

We are an equal opportunity and E-verified Employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, sex, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status.
