Job description

Electro-Chemical Modeling Engineer (Biotech)

What you will do:

As an electrochemical modeling engineer, you will leverage simulation tools to support design, product innovation, and strategy. You will apply problem-solving skills to develop new and innovative modeling and simulation solutions to address complex issues. You will take ownership and leadership to mature electrochemical models and simulation tools through collecting product data, validating the model against them, and establishing key performance indicators for the models and simulation tools. Teamwork is crucial. You will follow and respect existing working processes while also offering ideas and taking actions to drive continuous process improvement. You must possess the capability to interface with a multifunctional team to collect feedback that may improve the effectiveness of modeling and simulation tools. You will manage multiple priorities simultaneously because of your excellent planning, organization, and time management skills. You are intellectually curious, driving continual learning and new modeling and simulation solutions and product innovations.

How you will do it:

1. Develop, implement, and use multiphysics-based models based on coupled differential equations using at least one of the commercial software packages such as COMSOL, ANSYS Fluent, SABER, Matlab/Simulink, or Python to investigate how battery system design parameters impact electrochemical, thermal, mechanical, and life characteristics of lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries.
2. Design experiments for extracting the data or calibrations needed for the battery system model as well as for assessing the simulation accuracy and confidence in simulation predictions for the intended applications.
3. Extract basic physical or material parameters, such as diffusion coefficients, thermal and electrical conductivity, or other similar properties using parameter optimization techniques from empirical measurement data or from literature to support modeling and simulation development.
4. Support the evaluation of customer-specific performance requirements by providing simulation-based analysis and preparing simplified tools for use by customer engineers.
5. Support the development of modeling and data analysis tools and use the existing tools to support product design analysis needs.
6. Support battery control algorithm development for battery management systems.
7. Work closely with multifunctional engineering teams in defining the modeling and simulation requirements, deliverables with estimated time and resources for project works.
8. Document and communicate the model implementation, validation, simulation results as well as the quality and accuracy assessments on simulation predictions.

What we look for:
Required:

1. PhD or master's in Engineering and Science (Chemistry, Mechanical, Material, Physics, etc.) with a strong focus in electrochemistry and modeling disciplines.
2. 3+ years (PhD) to 6+ years (Master) minimum industrial modeling and simulation experience related to battery energy storage solutions.
3. 5+ years electrochemical modeling and simulation project experience using one of the commercial software packages such as COMSOL, Saber, ANSYS Fluent, or others.
4. 5+ years software coding project experience in Python or MATLAB.
5. 5+ years project experience in parameter optimization techniques and statistical analysis.

Preferred:

1. Automotive industry experience.
2. Advanced statistics and machine learning knowledge.
3. Experience with analyzing actual product failure mechanisms and ability to resolve product quality, performance, and other technical issues raised by external or internal customers.
4. Knowledgeable in battery manufacturing processes with experience in handling the complexity, variability, limitations, and opportunities in the production environment.
5. Demonstrated ability to mentor and provide technical direction.

What you get:

• Medical, dental, and vision care coverage and a 401(k) savings plan with company matching – all starting on date of hire.
• Tuition reimbursement, perks, and discounts.
• Parental and caregiver leave programs.
• All the usual benefits such as paid time off, flexible spending, short- and long-term disability, basic life insurance, business travel insurance, Employee Assistance Program, and domestic partner benefits.
• Global market strength and worldwide market share leadership.
• HQ location earns LEED certification for sustainability plus a full-service cafeteria and workout facility.
• Clarios has been recognized as one of 2024's Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere. This prestigious recognition marks the second consecutive year Clarios has received this distinction.
