Join our team in Windsor, ON, and contribute to the development and integration of cutting-edge battery systems. As a key player in our engineering team, you'll work on creating high-performance, safe, and reliable battery systems for diverse applications.
This is a full-time position requiring a strong foundation in battery fundamentals, simulation techniques, and systems-level thinking.
Responsibilities
- Develop and implement physics-based and empirical models for simulating the electrical, thermal, and degradation performance of lithium-ion battery systems.
- Conduct 1D simulation studies to evaluate battery behavior under various conditions, including fast charging, thermal events, and aging.
- Analyze laboratory test data to extract model parameters, validate simulation results, and improve model robustness.
- Perform sensitivity studies, scenario simulations, and model-based evaluations to support design and engineering decisions.
- Collaborate closely with cell, module, and pack design engineers, as well as test and control teams, to define requirements and optimize system performance.
- Prepare technical documentation, reports, and presentations summarizing modeling methodology and simulation outcomes.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product teams and share progress and insights with stakeholders.
Basic Qualifications
- Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineering, or Applied Physics from an ABET-accredited university.
- Minimum of 2 years of experience using simulation tools for engineering applications.
- Hands-on experience with 0D/1D battery simulation and analysis tools such as GT-SUITE, MATLAB/Simulink, Amesim, or equivalent.
- Strong understanding of lithium-ion battery fundamentals, including battery performance characteristics, thermal characteristics, and aging mechanisms.
- Fundamental understanding of HV electrical circuits, busbar design, and Battery Disconnect Unit (BDU) functionality within a battery system.
- Ability to analyze data, interpret results, and communicate findings clearly.
- Experience with optimization methods (DOE, parameter estimation, control optimization).
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English, with the ability to clearly present technical findings to cross-functional teams.
- Proven teamwork, interpersonal skills, and the ability to solve complex technical problems using analytical and simulation-based approaches.
Preferred Qualifications
- Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or Electrical Engineering with a focus on battery systems, electrochemistry, or thermal management.
- Hands-on experience with battery testing methods, aging studies, and performance evaluation.
- Proficiency in developing and applying 0D/1D/3D simulation models for battery systems.
- Background in embedded controls, Kalman filters, or estimator design for SOC/SOH/SOP.
- Good overall knowledge of battery performance and thermal management.
- Positive skills in programming with commercial software (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, Python, Visual C).
We offer a hybrid work environment with the potential for remote work. Travel to our CTC, US location may be required for team events.
