TL;DR · Battery FEA Engineer

The Battery FEA Engineer joins the Battery Engineering team to support the design, qualification, and manufacturing of battery systems for portable electronic devices. In this role, you will develop high-fidelity finite element analyses to predict performance before physical prototyping, ensuring reliability and safety across the product portfolio. You will build coupled multi-physics models involving structural, mechanical, thermal, and electrochemical interactions while designing automated workflows using surrogate modeling and reduced-order modeling. Key responsibilities include validating model predictions against experimental data, performing material characterization, and implementing advanced simulation techniques like nonlinear constitutive modeling for high-speed events. Required skills include proficiency in Python and commercial software such as Abaqus, LS-DYNA, ANSYS, or COMSOL. You will solve complex problems regarding cell chemistry behavior and load cases while managing large-scale simulation capabilities to support multiple concurrent product programs.

What you'll do

  • Develop high-fidelity finite element analyses to predict battery performance before physical prototyping.
  • Build coupled multi-physics models to represent complex structural, mechanical, thermal, and electrochemical interactions.
  • Validate simulation predictions against experimental data to improve model accuracy and reliability.
  • Design and deploy automated end-to-end workflows for geometry creation, calibration, and optimization.
  • Utilize surrogate modeling, reduced-order modeling, and automation for rapid design exploration.
  • Create non-standard test methods to calibrate material models and validate simulation results.
  • Define instrumentation and measurement strategies to gather high-quality data for model validation.

What we're looking for

  • MS degree in Mechanical Engineering, Computational Mechanics, Applied Mechanics, Materials Science, Applied Physics, or a similar field.
  • Experience with commercial finite element analysis software such as Abaqus.
  • Experience with advanced simulation techniques including nonlinear constitutive modeling and modeling of high speed events and large deformations.
  • Experience programming in Python.
  • Experience building, debugging, and calibrating finite element models.
  • PhD and 3+ years relevant industry experience (preferred).
  • Experience with coupled thermal-mechanical or electrochemical-mechanical modeling (preferred).
  • Experience with LS-DYNA, ANSYS, or COMSOL (preferred).
