Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, Electrical Engineering, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  
• 4 years of experience using finite element analysis (FEA) tools in a product development environment, including Abaqus, LS-DYNA, or HyperWorks.
• Experience in test development, execution, and analysis, for material model development and model validation.
• Experience in finite element theory and material constitutive models, in both elasticity and plasticity, static and dynamic load cases with deformation.

Preferred qualifications:

• Master's or PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
  
• Proficiency in Siemens NX, SolidWorks, or similar drafting software.
• Proficiency in thermal simulation tools (e.g., Ansys-Fluent, Comsol).
• Understanding of mechanical characterization principles and techniques relevant to battery materials and structures.
• Understanding of the internal cell structure and manufacturing process.

About the job

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain battery level structural simulations, for both cell and pack.
• Provide design recommendations to improve battery design, process, and its integration.
• Coordinate test and validation activities for battery and components.
• Use FEA tools to enhance understandings of battery cell and pack behaviors in devices, in both static and dynamic cases.
• Support root cause analyses for battery manufacturing or reliability failures.
