This is an engineering position expected to be an integral part of a Li-ion battery R&D team. His/her goal is to develop lithium-ion systems, with a focus on the mechanical, structural and thermal aspects of cell and battery design.

Responsibilities

To design lithium-ion cells and batteries based on the Mobius Power chemistry advantage.
Responsible for leading the design, modeling, and materials selection and compatibility in lithium-ion rechargeable electrochemical systems.
Ensure cells and batteries are developed in a holistic system approach and conform to application requirements and industrial standards. Involvement begins in the initial modeling and design phase and continues through testing and customer implementation.
Responsible for all mechanical, structural and thermal aspects of the design. Utilize Solid Works and COSMOS to better understand cell and battery designs early in the process resulting in more thorough product design and faster time-to-market.
Prepare complete engineering drawing package for products.
Responsible for material selection and compatibility.
Design tests and analyze results to validate concepts.
Plan and troubleshoot prototyping and technology transfer to production environment.
Interaction with R&D and manufacturing teams in North America and Asia.
To work closely with the cell testing and evaluation part of the R&D, providing the team with timely and reliable designs and prototypes for test.
To work closely with other engineers to assist other parts of the R&D, such as research, manufacturing process, and quality control.
The responsibilities will be split approximately between both Design and Modeling.

Follow rigorous documentation practices and record all work including modeling and designs, tests, test protocols, experiments and results in laboratory notebooks.
