## Description

Ford Racing is seeking a Battery Modeling Engineer to work at the intersection of battery chemistry, data, and competition. You will turn test results into physics-based models that translate into faster lap times.

Responsibilities:

- Build and refine electrochemical models using tools like MATLAB and COMSOL to drive future development and guide decisions on cell chemistry and format direction.

- Build and refine thermal and equivalent circuit models using tools like GT-Suite and Simulink to predict how battery cells will perform under real track conditions.

- Work with array design engineers to shape how cells integrate into the battery array, informing cooling methods and heat rejection designs for optimum system efficiency.

- Provide technical expertise to a global team of internal and external stakeholders spanning Ford Racing production and motorsport vehicles.

- Guide testing strategies to ensure data needed for models are generated efficiently.

Qualifications:

- Bachelor’s degree in a related field: Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science, or a relevant field.

- 2+ years of direct experience modeling Li-Ion battery cells.

- Competency in relevant engineering software (e.g., COMSOL, GT-Suite, Python, MATLAB Simulink).

- Working knowledge of battery cell test methods, chemistry, and key design parameters.

- Ability to travel domestically and internationally, as required.

Benefits:

- Immediate medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage.

- Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more.

- Family building benefits including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, fertility treatments, and more.
