Job Description

Responsible for building cell mathematical simulation models (physical models and data-driven models) to predict the performance of Li-ion batteries/Li-metal batteries under various working conditions, including dynamic performance, lifetime decay, electrochemical and thermal response, and safety-related cell behavior

Key Responsibilities

Responsible for building cell mathematical simulation models (physical models and data-driven models) to predict the performance of Li-ion batteries/Li-metal batteries under various working conditions, including dynamic performance, lifetime decay, electrochemical and thermal response, and safety-related cell behavior
Design and advance experiments to obtain parameters/data required to build cell models
Work with cross-functional teams to develop, deploy, test, and maintain models
The electrochemical/thermal data of the cell under different working conditions are generated by using the certified physical model of the cell to provide data support for the establishment of the data-driven model
Establish a standardized process for cell physical modeling to reduce the resources/time required for modeling
Provide documentation related to model and algorithm development
Work with the battery team to determine and achieve battery performance life goals

Requirements

Master’s degree or above, more than 5 years of battery related research/work experience
Basic knowledge of cell electrochemistry (P2D), thermal, mechanical modeling and simulation. Familiar with electrochemical principle, simulation parameter measurement method and corresponding equipment
Familiar with various battery-related models/algorithms, and have experience in using cell model software (COMSOL, Ansys, PyBaMM, etc.)
Experience in building data-driven models (statistical analysis, machine learning, AI)
Proficient in code development tools, such as Python or Matlab
