Britishvolt

Our client, a leading investor in battery technology, focusing on delivering sustainable, low-carbon battery cells is hiring a Senior Electrochemical Modelling Engineer. The successful candidate will be responsible for the development of cell models that can express the behaviour of a cell in mathematical form. Using COMSOL or equivalent tools, the Senior Electrochemical Modelling Engineer will create models that can be used to simulate the electrochemical performance of a cell and define the tests that are needed to correlate the models.

The Senior Electrochemical Modelling Engineer will:

• Translate aging mechanisms into mathematical representations that can be accommodated by existing models.
• Work with battery pack engineers to generate reduced-order models that can be used as a basis for advanced BMS designs.
• Support development of fast charge algorithms of products while handling aging of batteries
• Work with R&D team to verify accuracy of mathematical models and performance simulation of new cell designs
• Conduct investigations, prepare status reports related to design and performance issues, and contribute to resolving issues as required.
• Pursue development of intellectual property to protect technology developments and secure competitive position.
• Act as technical contact point for electrochemical characterization and mathematical modelling software, techniques, and application.

The Senior Electrochemical Modelling Engineer will have:

• A PhD degree or equivalent industrial experiences is required.
• Four years or more of physics-based modelling of electrochemical cell simulation (from coin cell to final cell geometry).
• Strong working knowledge of COMSOL, Siemens BDS or equivalent.
• Experience applying quality tools and their application to development, characterization, and production of lithium batteries, including statistical analysis of performance results, process capabilities, and design of experiments
• Proven competency in numerical solutions of PDEs and ODEs
• Ability to motivate and work independently with minimal mentorship required
• Ability to clearly understand and explain technical issues
• Able to design test plans to characterize battery and control algorithm performance.
