Experienced Engineer Battery Cell Simulation

at  Volvo Group

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. By joining us, you’ll be part of a global and diverse team of highly skilled professionals who work with passion, trust each other, and embrace change to stay ahead. The importance of electromobility is growing every day and a key component within the electrified powertrain is the Energy Storage System (ESS). At our section, we are accountable for the lifecycle management of the ESS - from advanced engineering, throughout product development into the maintenance phase.

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.
