Battery Thermal Engineer

THIS IS WHAT YOU LL DO:

• Battery Thermal Analyst will perform 3D battery pack modeling activities using STAR-CCM+.


• Lead analytical modeling efforts to identify gaps in ESS designs causing potential failure to meet requirements.


• Battery electrical and thermal architecture modeling for next generation systems including:
  
  
  
  • Perform 3D battery cell, module and pack modelling.
  
  
  • Lead modeling efforts to identify the technical benefits and drawbacks of current battery design and future concepts, including identification of technology gaps.
  
  
  
  


• Partner with ESS Validation team and DRE team to develop test plans for model correlation and design validation, support pre- and post- test analyses.

THIS IS WHAT YOU LL NEED:

• Minimum B.S. in engineering with 7+ years applicable experience, or M.S. in engineering with 5+ years experience, or Ph.D. in engineering with 3+ years experience.


• Solid experience using STAR-CCM+.


• Strong oral and written communication for cross functional team engagement, presentation to leadership, and project management.


• Excellent understanding of first principal analysis and implementation.


• Reasonable understanding of battery system architectures, system controls, and electrical circuit analysis.


• Experience with CATIA, experience with model building from CAD data


• Excellent understanding of heat transfer, fluid flow, thermodynamics, and energy conversion.


• Experience with automotive powertrain requirements, load cases, and standards.


• Experience working with cross functional team and vehicle team developing battery architecture and integrating products in vehicles.
