Battery Thermo-Electrochemical Modeling Engineer M/F (Internship)

Join us and be a pioneer for a green transport revolution.

Automotive Cells Company (ACC) is one of Europe’s newest and most exciting high-tech companies. Backed by Saft-Total, Stellantis-Opel and Mercedes-Benz, ACC is set to power the future of the automotive industry by innovating in battery technology.

We aim to produce sustainable, affordable, high-capacity, longer-life batteries as a cleaner alternative to current energy sources. We create an R&D center and new state-of-the art facility in France (New Aquitaine), with gigafactories to be built in Hauts de France and Germany.

We need a range of skilled and agile people to bring our vision to life, especially in the areas of industrialization, mechanical design, testing/prototyping and any other function of a new-born company. If you’re looking to take your career further than you imagined, if you’re passionate about creating cleaner transport, we’d like to hear from you.

The objective of this internship is to study the electrochemical and thermal behaviour of a lithium-ion battery cell and to effectively couple them. The goal is to visualize in real time the electrical behaviour of the cell, integration of thermal management solutions & perform Multiphysics simulations.

Main mission of the Internee:

·        Perform a state of the art on electrochemical modelling techniques and tools and thermal behaviour of a lithium-ion battery cell

·        Perform a detailed numerical modelling of a lithium-ion battery cell using the Batteries and Fuel Cells Module in Comsol Multiphysics effectively considering heat transfer physics

·        Compare with in-house models and highlight main results/findings

·        Study the possibilities of using Livelink with Matlab for Multiphysics coupling with heat transfer physics

·        Integrate/suggest thermal management solutions

·        Bac +5 (Engineering Grande Ecole or Master University) in Chemistry/Chemical Engineering

·        Strong hold on electrochemistry and electrochemical systems will be a plus

·        Good command and/or experience in using Comsol Multiphysics is a major requirement

·        Capacity for analysis, synthesis, and communication

·        Autonomous with “Can Do” attitude

·        Good command on French and/or English
