Job description

What you will do:

As an electrochemical modeling engineer you will leverage simulation tools to support the design, product innovation and strategy. You will apply problem solving skills to develop new and innovative modeling and simulation solutions to address the complex issues. You will take ownership and leadership to mature electrochemical model 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 not only follow and respect the existing working process but also offer ideas and take actions to drive continuous process improvement. You must possess capability to interface with 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:

• Develop multi-physics models(electrochemical, thermal, mechanical) using tools like COMSOL, ANSYS, Python, or MATLAB/Simulink to analyze how battery design parameters impact performance, lifespan, and safety of lead-acid/Li-ion batteries.

• Design experiments and optimize parameters(e.g., diffusion coefficients, conductivity) to calibrate models, validate accuracy, and ensure confidence in simulation predictions.

• Build simulation toolsto evaluate customer-specific performance requirements and support product design analysis, including simplified tools for customer engineering teams.

• Support battery management systems (BMS)by contributing to control algorithm development and integrating simulation insights.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teamsto define modeling requirements, deliverables, timelines, and resource allocation for projects.

• Document and communicatemodel implementation, validation results, accuracy assessments, and quality metrics to stakeholders.

What we look for:
Required:

• PhD or masters in Engineering and Science (Chemistry, Mechanical, Material, Physics, etc.) with a strong focus in electrochemistry and modeling disciplines.

• +3 (PhD) to +6 (Master) years minimum industrial modeling and simulation experience related with battery energy storage solutions.

• +5 years electrochemical modeling and simulation project experience using one of the commercial software packages such as COMSOL, or Saber, or ANSYS Fluent, or others.

• +5 years software coding project experience in Python or MATLAB.

• +5 years project experience in parameter optimization techniques and statistical analysis.

Preferred:

• Automotive industry experiences

• Advance statistic and machine learning knowledge

• Experience with analyzing actual product failure mechanism and ability to resolve product quality, performance and other technical issues raised by external or internal customers.

• Knowledgeable in battery manufacturing process with experience in handling the complexity, variability, limitations and opportunities in production environment.

• •Demonstrated ability to mentor and provide technical directions.
