We need your expertise. You will be encouraged to speak up! We want you to be heard.
Have deep knowledge in structural FE simulations (Nastran / Abaqus)
Be knowledgeable in fatigue evaluation under dynamic load (Ncode or equivalent)
Have good knowledge in pre- and post- processing in Ansa / Meta
Have demonstrable battery experience and know how
Perform and lead durability FE simulations to evaluate strength and fatigue of the battery on module, pack and system levels, analyzing the result and present to the stakeholders
Correlate the simulation models against physical tests
Create technical documentation of the methods and reports of the analyses.
Coordinate internal and external work with other departments and suppliers

How to succeed


You are a problem solver and have a deep knowledge in structural FE simulations. You are a team player who brings your strong analytical mindset to the table, with the ability to take vital actions when required. You are also a communicator with a contagious positive attitude.
