You will be able to analyze large amounts of test data, dissect modules and pack to identify/confirm degradation mechanisms, report on the results, and follow up by executing the additional design of experiments to continue research of a given phenomenon.
Roles and Responsibilities
- Execution and maintenance of battery tests using life cycle equipment, temperature/humidity chambers, and other fixturing.
- Should be able to execute and supervise thermal and mechanical tests like overheating, thermal shock, thermal propagation, Drop test, nail penetration, vibration, mechanical shock, and Water immersion.
- Write test plans, propose the design of experiments, and summarize results in test reports.
- Use test data to optimize module and pack lifetime by adjusting usage parameters such as charge/discharge rates and ambient conditions.
- Use data manipulation skills and data visualization techniques to convey test results to other engineers. Knowledge of MATLAB or other software to parse large datasets is beneficial.
- Create a model to simulate battery performance at the beginning of life and as the cell ages.
- Perform cell-level dissection analysis to analyze mechanisms of energy and power losses.
- Be a member of a cross-functional product development team to help determine the ideal cell chemistry and design for electric vehicle applications.
- Plan, set up professional DAQ, and execute cell/battery pack testing including performance, durability, and fleet validation tests.
- Troubleshoot and resolve issues that arise during testing.
- Experience in sensor instrumentation and data acquisition systems.
Desired Candidate Profile
