Decibels Lab

Tesla job posting ID: 71613

Role:

As a member of the Cell Modeling Team, this engineer will develop and maintain advanced physics-based lithium-ion models based on mechanical, thermal and electrochemistry knowledge in conjunction with test data. The candidate will also be expected to execute design of experiments to gather pertinent data to train, validate, and test the accuracy of the models.

Responsibilities:

• Advance the capabilities of Tesla’s in-house cell models.
• Develop mechanical sub-component models and advance the understanding of the interaction of cell mechanicals to electrochemical performance and degradation modes of a lithium-ion cell.
• Write test plans, propose design of experiments, perform model validation with test data, and summarize findings.
• Work closely with cell engineers in describing material and cell level characterization tests and to analyze test data.
• Document and communicate model workflow, implementations, and results of simulation studies.
• Be a member of a cross functional product development team to help determine the ideal cell design for different electric vehicle and energy product applications.
