Battery FEA Engineer

As a member of the Structural Analysis team, you will deliver FEA modeling and material characterization for all products. You will be fully integrated with the Product team from the earliest stages, analyzing and advising the mechanical design of ground breaking products. You will also work with multi-functional teams within Apple and with outside vendors to characterize the strength of raw materials and components. - Generate finite element models/analytical models of mechanical parts, modules, and assemblies - Perform static, multifaceted explicit, structural, and thermal-mechanical analysis - Develop of state of art finite element (FE) models of cell, pack, and BMS sub-systems in detail - Characterization of battery related materials and development of sophisticated material models for CAE simulations - Perform sophisticated CAE simulations to evaluate and improve understanding behavior under both static and dynamic events - Supporting design progression and evolution with multi-disciplinary engineering teams based on your analyses - Work with design teams and multi-functional teams, to understand CAE analysis requirements and clearly identify the related goals, scope and functionality limitations. - Use outstanding tools and solvers to generate the vital simulation models and results. - Work with test and reliability labs, to develop physical test methods, to gain vital data for results validation. - Work with system teams, to collaborate on developing detailed sub-models to be used in assembly level simulations. - Develop optimized workflows and/or reusable templates for regularly required FEA simulations. - Work with CAE vendors to drive the functionality improvements to better serve the CAE needs of the group. - Explore new analysis types and solutions, including topological optimization
