The Meta Reality Labs Battery team is looking for a Thermal Modeling Intern. In this role, you will develop a cell-level thermal model to dynamically simulate heat generation and heat flow within the battery. You will apply your knowledge, experience and expertise to solve complex engineering and technological challenges.
Our internships are twelve (12) to sixteen (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year. Research Intern - Thermal Modeling and Analysis (PhD) Responsibilities Collaborate with Cell and Battery Engineers to develop functional cell-level thermal models to simulate heat generation and heat flow under charge/discharge conditions. Apply the model to investigate real-world scenarios Oversee cell component and materials analysis to obtain necessary model parameters Conduct lab tests and data analysis to validate the model Explore integration of cell-level with pack and device level thermal models Minimum Qualifications Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD in Engineering, Materials Science, Chemistry, Physics, or related field Experience with Thermal Modeling of Li-ion cells using commercial modeling tools such as FLOEFD, ANSYS, COMSOL, MATLAB or equivalent Knowledge of Li-ion technology, electrochemistry, and battery testing Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment Preferred Qualifications Familiarity with physics-based models of electrochemical systems Familiarity with cell/battery testing equipment (Maccor, Arbin, Neware, BioLogic, or equivalent) Intent to return to a degree-program after the completion of the internship/co-op Interpersonal experience: cross-group and cross-culture collaboration Locations About Meta Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses.
