Overall job definition :

• The Process Modeling Engineer - CFD will model Unit process involved in Li-Ion production using model-based numerical simulations. He/she will develop numerical models based on the current knowledge on the physics involved, using commercial or in-house simulation tools; this may include a wide variety of physical phenomena such fluid dynamics, thermal dynamics, mechanical behavior, or chemistry. He / she will identify the most relevant physical phenomena to model, and define a numerical strategy adapted to the internal customer’s need.

• He/she will support the design and scaling-up of new processes; will answer Industrial teams’ needs; will contribute to the design of the experimental procedures required to calibrate his/her models.

• He/she will be required to present the main results of his/her studies internally and to customers. He/she shall be up to date state of the art process simulation activities and manage external contracts and collaborations. He/she will manage his/her simulation environment.

Cross functional role :

• Support to all departments where process modeling is involved (Modelling, Innovation Process, Industrialization).

Main missions, Objectives and KPIs related :

• Support pilot line and gigafactories process setup and optimization by modeling processes

• Manage internal and external projects, contracts, while collaborating with internal teams (R&D, Industrialization, Projects, Simulation, …).

• Adapt and Run 0D/1D/2D/3D models, based on a pre-identified set of physics-based equations, using pre-existing numerical tools or developing adapted in-house numerical models.

• Manage collaborations with suppliers, customers and strategic partners.

•   Contribute to the company roadmap.

• Be up to date to the state of the art on its topic of expertise.

• Support Intellectual Property monitoring and propose innovative patentable concepts.
