Battery FEA Engineer

What you'll do

• Build and calibrate battery models, validate predictions against experimental data, and use simulation results to inform design and qualification decisions.
• Develop coupled structural, mechanical, thermal, and electrochemical models, and automate workflows for design exploration and optimization.
• Design test methods and instrumentation for material characterization and model validation; scale simulation support across product programs.

What they ask for

• MS degree in Mechanical Engineering, Computational Mechanics, Applied Mechanics, Materials Science, Applied Physics, or similar.
• Experience with commercial finite element analysis software such as Abaqus.
• Experience with advanced simulation techniques, including nonlinear constitutive modeling and modeling high-speed events and large deformations.
• Experience programming in Python and building, debugging, and calibrating finite element models.

Nice to have

• PhD and 3+ years relevant industry experience; experience with coupled thermal-mechanical or electrochemical-mechanical modeling.
• Experience with LS-DYNA, ANSYS, or COMSOL; exposure to physics-based machine learning for surrogate modeling or model order reduction.
