Thermal 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 Thermal Modeling engineer will model thermal behavior of cells and modules using Computer Aided Engineering tools, like Star CCM+, or Comsol. He/she is responsible for managing thermal simulation related to performance (fast charging, WLTP, etc.) and associated coolants to ensure compliance with customer requirements.

He/she will support thermal design teams for cells and module design. He/she will have cross activities with abuse modeling engineers to optimize and manage all battery thermal aspects. He/she will also liaise with testing and V&V teams to support test and model correlation. He/she will have to present results of his studies internally and to customers. He/she will manage his simulation environment and manage the digital continuity.
