Battery System Simulation Engineer Intermediate

Job Description:

• The Battery System Simulation Engineer Intermediate is responsible for working with electrified & hybrid powertrain (engines, transmission, battery & motor) engineers, including controls and calibration, to proactively drive ePT system level design and optimization through virtual analysis tools.
• Responsible for developing 1D/3D simulation models, methodologies and processes from physical principles for high voltage and low voltage Lithium-ion batteries (cells, modules, pack).
• The expected job responsibilities will include, but not limited to;
• Develop, test and correlate high-fidelity physics-based models for high/low voltage Lithium ion batteries for electrified and hybrid powertrains (equivalent circuit, electrochemical, coupled with thermal models etc.)
• Develop aging models for HV Li-ion batteries to predict pack degradation over a wide range of operating conditions
• Simulate vehicle drive cycles, battery resting, charging at different environmental conditions to predict usable energy and power
• Drive design using Computer Aided Engineering tools (Matlab/Simulink, GT-Autoline, Ansys Fluent, COMSOL, etc. ) to meet the component & system performance, efficiency, durability, and reliability
• Provide components design direction, and control strategy development & optimization through System Integration
• Execute advanced projects for new methodology and process development
• Document procedures, and write technical/progress reports.
• Coordinate between different release groups, global simulation teams and suppliers to identify risk and communicate virtual engineering results.

Requirements:
