Join us and be a pioneer for a green transport revolution.
Automotive Cells Company (ACC) is one of Europe’s newest and most exciting high-tech companies. Backed by Saft-Total, Stellantis-Opel and Mercedes-Benz, ACC is set to power the future of the automotive industry by innovating in battery technology.
We aim to produce sustainable, affordable, high-capacity, longer-life batteries as a cleaner alternative to current energy sources. We create an R&D center and new state-of-the art facility in France (New Aquitaine), with gigafactories to be built in Hauts de France and Germany.
We need a range of skilled and agile people to bring our vision to life, especially in the areas of industrialization, mechanical design, testing/prototyping and any other function of a new-born company. If you’re looking to take your career further than you imagined, if you’re passionate about creating cleaner transport, we’d like to hear from you.
The Explicit Dynamics Simulation Engineer will model modules mechanical response under several load conditions in dynamics, including quasi-static crush, crash and shocks.
He/She will...
- support the engineering team and design office for cells and module design.
- have cross activities with Thermal Modeling engineer, Abuse Modeling engineer to optimize battery design.
- use CAD/CAE tools (for example, Hyperworks) and Finite Element explicit solvers (for example, Radioss or LSDyna).
- contribute to the activities related to implicit modeling (non-linear static analyses and/or vibrations) by using implicit solvers (for instance, Optistruct).
- define the full set of material mechanical properties needed to proficiently and effectively carry out the calculations.
- also support Solid State Batteries conception.
- manage external Research cooperation on their field of expertise.
- participate in cell and module validation activities.
- have to present results of his studies internally and to customers.
