Experienced Engineer Battery Cell Simulation

Welcome to Electromobility at Volvo Group Trucks Technology! We are changing the automotive world, and we are now looking for you who want to be part of this change happening in our industry. We are responsible for the transition from conventional powertrains to electromobility and to secure a stepwise implementation in different segments/regions. Not only will you be working with the coolest technical challenges, but also be part of an optimistic atmosphere where joy, knowledge-sharing, and openness are key characteristics.

About the role
As an Experienced Engineer in the Battery Cell Simulation Team, you will collaborate with our talented engineers to develop and optimize sophisticated simulation models for battery cells. This includes modeling thermo-electrochemical performance, aging processes, thermal management and material properties. Implementation and integration of simulation models into the design and development processes of battery energy storage systems will also be included. Your contributions will be instrumental in creating robust and efficient systems. 
You will foster a collaborative environment by working closely with cross-functional teams. Together, we will ensure accurate representation of battery cell behavior and performance in system-level simulations. Embracing innovation and continuous improvement will be important and we encourage you to explore new simulation methodologies and techniques to enhance accuracy and efficiency. You will be able to validate simulation models and establish correlations with real-world data together with our experimental teams. In the role it is important to stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in battery cell technology, simulation techniques, and industry trends. Your curiosity will fuel our drive for excellence.

Requirements
A Master's degree or higher in Physics, Chemistry, Electrochemistry, Battery Control Engineering, or a related field demonstrates your dedication to the discipline (a PhD is a merit). 
You bring a minimum of 3 years of industrial experience of multi-scale battery cell modeling and simulations within OEM, supplier product development, automotive, or related industries. 

You possess in-depth knowledge and expertise in LIB (Lithium-Ion Battery) cell simulation and modeling tools such as COMSOL, Ansys, Star CCM+, Python, MATLAB, Simulink, etc. 
Your experience includes successfully closing the gap between simulated and experimental results through empirical cell testing throughout the battery development process. 
You have a strong understanding of electrochemical processes, aging mechanisms, thermal effects, and material properties relevant to battery cells. 

Your proficiency extends to the development and integration of components with complex system architecture. 
You are comfortable working with OEM or battery cell supplier development processes and have a track record of effective collaboration. 


Competencies

You are an ambitious, collaborative and communicative engineer with a passion for battery cell simulation and a track record of driving technological advancements. Your enthusiasm and commitment to staying at the forefront of battery technology, emerging approaches, and diverse modeling techniques is evident. As an agile thinker, you effortlessly grasp the bigger picture, identify objectives, set priorities and support teams in overcoming challenges. Your result-oriented mindset drives you to seek continuous improvements in simulation methodologies and work processes.  With excellent communication skills you will be enable to engage effectively with individuals and groups at various levels within the organization. You have a natural ability to drive changes and enhance the team's ability to excel in modeling, work processes, and technical knowledge. Fluent spoken and written English is essential for seamless collaboration.
