Assignment Description

Our client in the automotive industry is currently seeking a Battery Cell Simulation Engineer.

What You’ll Do

As a Battery Cell Simulation Engineer, you will be responsible for developing analytical models intended for performance and life estimation simulations of battery cells. These models range from those based on fundamental physical principles to empirical models such as equivalent circuit representations. Much of the development relies on input from cell testing, and an important aspect of the work is therefore defining test needs and methods, as well as developing methods to extract and calibrate model parameters.

• Your work will serve as input for other teams involved in designing hardware components and developing software functionality for electric and hybrid vehicle projects.
• You will collaborate closely with colleagues within the Propulsion and Energy department, as well as other engineers within our client’s organization.
• The role also entails close collaboration with test teams and suppliers of cells and modules.
• You will primarily use Python, along with tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, Comsol, and similar software.

Your Background and Skills:

• A Master of Science degree in chemical engineering, applied physics, mathematics, or a related field is expected.
• A genuine curiosity for the subject matter and a strong interest in modeling and programming are essential.
• Additionally, you should possess excellent analytical and communication skills.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• The ideal candidate for this position will have a robust background in analytical work, ideally involving the modeling of components or system behaviors with Python.
• Knowledge within the battery area is also considered a valuable competence.
