Electrochemistry Modeling Engineer

Automotive Cells Company (ACC) est une co-entreprise créée à l'été 2020 par Saft-Total, le Groupe PSA et Opel (devenus Stellantis depuis)et Mercedes-Benz. Notre ambition est de produire des batteries au meilleur niveau technologique tout en rendant la mobilité électrique accessible au plus grand nombre.

Pour donner vie à cette ambition, à la fois pour notre centre de R&D et notre ligne test en Nouvelle Aquitaine, mais aussi pour nos gigafactories dans les Hauts de France et en Allemagne nous recherchons des personnes compétentes et agiles, notamment dans les domaines aussi diverses et variés que la R&D, l'industrialisation, la conception mécanique, les tests/prototypages… et toute autre fonction d'une entreprise en pleine construction.

Si vous cherchez à faire évoluer votre carrière au-delà de ce que vous aviez imaginé, si vous êtes passionné par la création de transports plus propres, si rejoindre l'industrie du futur vous excite, n'hésitez plus et rejoignez nous.

The Modeling Engineer dedicated to electrochemistry will develop electrochemical models of the different cell generations gen 3a, gen 3b, gen 4a and gen 4b. He/she will use Battery Design Studio and other SW environments. He/she will be in close interaction with Thermal Model Engineer and Cell Modeling Engineer in the cell management team. He/she will design the specific technics, for example GITT, EIS, to extract calibration data. He/she 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.
