You will


Develop and perform simulations on battery module, pack, and Energy Storage System (ESS) level for thermal and system performance. You need to have a background in CFD simulations (both 1D and 3D) to be successful. You will contribute to the development of the thermal performance of the battery pack. You will work in an environment where we have experts within thermal management, CAE, and CFD simulations. Working with both advanced CFD and system simulations is second nature to you if you are the right person for this role. You are someone who is excited about the opportunity to work in a global, multicultural work environment, with a big impact on the future of transportation and our collective carbon footprint. You will be part of an agile team who values creativity, analytical thinking, innovation capability, and the ability to apply knowledge. We need your expertise and mathematical brain. You will be encouraged to speak up! We want you to be heard.


Develop and perform CFD simulations on both component and battery pack level
Developing and performing electro-thermal simulations for Electrical Distribution System (EDS)
Perform system simulations to evaluate the impact on the battery and its attributes such as range, power performance, and thermal aspects
Initiate physical tests and analyze results for validation and verification of the simulation methods
Create technical documentation of the methods and reports of the analyses
Present the work to team members and stakeholders outside the team
Coordinate internal and external work with other departments, partners, and suppliers


How to succeed
