1. Overview

Romeo Power Technology is looking for a highly motivated, Battery Systems Modeling and Simulation Engineer to join our growing team in the Los Angeles, CA area. As part of a multi-disciplinary Systems Engineering team, this person will develop, specify, model and simulate high and low voltage battery systems. You will be creating and employing a variety of cell and battery pack models, along with customer, and laboratory test data to create a high-fidelity model. The building blocks will be used to develop control systems and author requirements for firmware development.

This is a hands-on position with plenty of responsibility for the successful delivery of leading-edge energy storage solutions in the Electric Vehicle, Consumer, and Industrial markets. The environment is fast-paced and requires the application of critical thinking in demanding situations.

2. Key Roles & Responsibilities

• Integrate physics-based models of battery modules into battery systems
• Perform numerical simulations to identify performance limitations and optimize pack designs
• Develop and enhance existing multi-scale high performance aging and electrical-thermal models for Li-ion and high-energy batteries
• Design and develop control systems for battery management systems and thermal management systems
• Design and build thermal models of battery and develop algorithms for SOP, SOC
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Electrical engineering, Mechanical engineering, Thermal engineering, Firmware, Validation, and Battery Safety teams for model parameterization and characterization
• Design functional models that will help to select components and make design decisions
• Model full systems and run drive profiles and short circuit simulations
• Verify and validate model performance through testing
• Support defining and allocating system, firmware, hardware, test requirements and verification methods
• Operate within a cross functional team, understand the needs and requirements of internal stakeholders in addition to our external customers
• Develop automated data analytics capabilities to aid in the analysis of test data

3. Qualifications

• BS degree in EE, ME, CS, Math, Physics, Chemistry, MS preferred
• Experience with modeling of physical systems in general, MATLAB/Simulink preferred
• Knowledge of linear systems analysis and control systems
• Strong understanding of mechanical, electrical and thermal systems
• Mathematical and advanced data analysis capabilities
• Excellent communication skills, team-oriented attitude
• Ability to work in a dynamic start-up environment where initiative and ownership is a must
• Excellent organizational skills, attention-to-detail, and multi-tasking capability
