The Cell Performance Engineer will develop performance models of the different cell generations gen 3a, gen 3b, gen 4a and gen 4b. He/she will also be in charge of monitoring the test in relation with the test team, in order to correlate his/her models.

He/she will use Simulink and other SW environments. He/she will be in close interaction with Thermal Model Engineer and Cell Modeling Engineer dedicated to cell management. He/she will design the specific technics, for example to extract calibration data. He will develop tests to support ageing models development. He/she will have to present results of his studies internally and to customers. He/she will manage his simulation environment.

As a Cell Performance Engineer, you should be familiar with the following tasks:

• Perform Simulink performance analyses, build model, propose cell design rules.
• Calibrate the models with data from tests.
• Analyze cell performance, characterization and durability tests.
• Participate to team activity within the Cell Management Modelization group
• Apply and transmit its knowledge on Li-ion cell electrochemistry
• Propose new concepts and materials to improve various aspects of an EV cell at chemistry level, relevant with the company roadmap and objectives.
• Apply agile technics to be able to answer quickly to various internal and external customers.
• Lead and manage internal and external projects, contracts, while collaborating with internal teams (R&D, , Projects, Simulation colleagues, …).
