Job Duties

• Lead team on battery pack and electro/thermal design.
• Lead in developing best practices for battery pack level modeling and simulation.
• Balance use of mechanical, electrical, and fluids flow simulation as it pertains to pack heating and cooling.
• Lead in identification, development, and maintenance of simulation tools for predicting battery pack performance, thermals, and failure modes.
• Use simulation results to guide design decisions and optimize battery performance, reliability, and safety.
• Establish test regimens for pack level thermals within scope of the project.
• Deliver complete data analysis to support design recommendations.
• Lead, develop, and implement test plans and project resources to correlate and improve simulation results.
• Present technical content.
• Collaborate with design engineers to incorporate simulation early in the design stage. May manage project team members.
• Lead the execution of a wide variety of engineering analyses including electro/mechanical simulation, fluid and mass transfer, Design of Experiments, and statistical data analysis.
• Conduct vibration analysis, test, and additional test capabilities including IR Camera, Thermocouple, Laser Vibrometer, and strain-gauge.

Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, related engineering field, or foreign degree equivalent, and 2 years of relevant experience as an Engineer, or alternate related acceptable occupation; OR Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, related engineering field, or foreign degree equivalent, and 5 years of relevant experience as an Engineer, or alternate related acceptable occupation.

Work or academic experience must have included:

• Battery cell, pack level simulation, and test (Structural, Thermal CFD, MATLAB / Simulink, Ansys, DOE, and Test Methodology).
