Construct lifetime, electrochemical, and economic models for next generation products based on limited data
What You'll Bring
Degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or equivalent experience
3 years of industry experience modeling energy products with a physics and chemistry background
Strong background in numerical methods and a good physics and chemical understanding of energy products
Modeling (electrochemical, thermal, lifetime) experience - this role requires translating limited data and claims into quantifiable models
Excellent communication skills across language and cultural barriers
Willingness to travel domestically and internationally to meet different teams face-to-face
