Transport is at the core of up-to-date society. Imagine using your expertise to shape sustainable transport and infrastructure solutions for the future. If you seek to make a difference on a global scale, working with next-gen technologies and the sharpest team-oriented teams, then we could be a perfect match.

Position Overview

We are seeking an creative Battery Thermal Simulation Engineer to join our advanced engineering team. This position is tailored for a current PhD candidate (ongoing) or a recent PhD graduate specialising in electrochemical, thermal, or fluid sciences.

You will work with the high-fidelity thermal design, modelling, and simulation of our next-generation Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). This role bridges academic research and industrial application. You will scale thermal architectures from core-cell chemistry to multi-megawatt containerised module and rack systems to ensure ultimate safety and efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

Multi-Scale Modelling:



Develop physics-based thermal models bridging micro-scale cell behaviour to macro-scale rack and container installations.

CFD & FEA Analysis: Run 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to optimise air/liquid flow distribution and eliminate localised hot spots.

Thermal Runaway Simulation: Model abusive cell conditions and simulate multi-row propagation pathways to engineer robust containment boundaries.

Model Order Reduction: Convert complex 3D thermal physics into fast-running 1D networks for real-time BESS control algorithms.

Experimental Correlation: Design test protocols to characterise cell thermal properties and validate simulation boundary conditions.

Literature Translation: Infuse cutting-edge academic methodologies in heat transfer and battery degradation into commercial product development.

Required Qualifications

Education: Current PhD Candidate (within 1 year of graduation) or recent PhD graduate in Battery Material Engineering, or Materials Science.

Research Focus: Dissert
