About Automotive Cells Company - ACC
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, Germany and Italy.
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.
Accelerating sustainable mobility for all.
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.
