Start Date: ASAP (please mention if you’re not available immediately)

Job Description: We are seeking an exceptional Systems Engineer specializing in Cell Modelling to join our cutting-edge team focused on the future of urban e-mobility. This role is a vital part of the Cell Technology team, where you will contribute to the design, development, testing, and certification of battery cell models as part of a dynamic cross-functional group.

Key Responsibilities:

• Contribute to the cell modelling technology roadmap in collaboration with industry and research partners.
• Develop and enhance battery cell performance and degradation models under various conditions using equivalent circuit and physics-based models.
• Simplify high-fidelity cell models into efficient engineering models.
• Conduct electrothermal simulations to support aircraft battery systems, define operational boundaries, and aid in cell screening and selection.
• Develop algorithms and tools for cell model parameter inference and optimization based on data from tests and field performance.
• Lead cross-functional data integration efforts to support battery digital twins.
• Collaborate with test engineers to refine and analyze cell tests for performance validation and model calibration.
• Create methods, tools, and processes to streamline modelling activities.
• Engage in continuous collaboration with fellow engineers across multiple functions.
• Participate in ad-hoc projects as required.

Qualifications:

• M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Control Engineering, Physics, Electrochemistry, or a related field.
• 2+ years of experience in Li-ion cell modelling.
• Proficiency in model-based development best practices and industry standards.
• Familiarity with cell performance indicators, modelling, and state estimation techniques.
• Experience in designing cell testing procedures and interpreting their results.
• 2+ years of hands-on software development experience in Python, with expertise in third-party data science libraries (e.g., pandas, PySpark).
• Knowledge of Matlab/Simulink and advanced measurement methods like impedance spectroscopy is a plus.
• Understanding of materials and cell design is beneficial.
• Strong analytical problem-solving skills, with a target-driven and proactive work style.
• Ability to navigate complex situations and bring clarity.
• Fluent English skills are essential; fluency in German or other languages is a plus.
