Battery Cell Simulation Expert

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. 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.

Responsibilities

As a Battery Cell Simulation Expert, you will be an integral part of the Battery Cell Simulation team, which operates within 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. 

You will contribute in developing and optimizing sophisticated simulation models for battery cells. This includes modeling electrochemical performance, aging processes, thermal management and material properties. Leading the implementation and integration of simulation models into the design and development processes of energy storage systems will be a big part of your days. Your contributions will be instrumental in creating robust and efficient systems. It will be 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. 

You will also:

• Embrace innovation and continuous improvement. We encourage you to explore new simulation methodologies and techniques to enhance accuracy and efficiency. 
• Act as a mentor by providing technical guidance to junior engineers and support their growth in battery cell simulation techniques. Your expertise will contribute to the success of the entire team. 
• Collaborate with our experimental teams to validate simulation models and establish correlations with real-world data. 

To make this a success

We believe you are an energetic and communicative engineer with a passion for battery cell simulation and a track record of driving technological advancements. Your experience includes successfully closing the gap between simulated and experimental results through empirical cell testing throughout the battery development process. With your enthusiasm and commitment to staying at the forefront of battery technology combined with your in-depth knowledge and expertise in lithium-ion battery cell simulation, you will excel in this position. You have a natural ability to drive changes and lead others which will enhance the team's ability to excel in modeling, work processes and technical knowledge. Your excellent communication skills enable you to engage effectively with individuals and groups at various levels within the organization.

What you also bring:

• A Master's degree or higher in Physics, Chemistry, Electrochemistry, Material Science or a related field demonstrates your dedication to the discipline
• Extensive industrial experience in battery cell modeling and simulations within OEM, supplier product development, automotive, or related industries
• A strong understanding of electrochemical processes, aging mechanisms, thermal effects and material properties relevant to battery cells.
• Experience from simulation and modeling tools such as COMSOL, Ansys, Star CCM+, Python, MATLAB, Simulink etc.
