About Ample:

Do you want to change the world? Ample, Inc. is a pioneer in the electric vehicle space, developing innovative ways to deliver energy to electric vehicles. We use advanced robotics for modular battery swapping that is as fast and convenient as visiting a gas station, but cheaper. Our team consists of technologists, designers, and environmental enthusiasts dedicated to solving one of the most critical challenges of our time. Join Ample and help us make this a reality for billions of vehicles.

Our co-founders are experienced entrepreneurs, and our team excels at solving complex challenges by combining creative technology design with rapid iteration. This is not a company for the faint-hearted. You'll work with a small, highly capable team on cars, robots, and intelligent batteries. If the technology doesn't exist, we're not afraid to dream it and build it, always with a focus on reliability, affordability, and easy deployment.

As a Battery Systems Simulation Engineer , you will work on cutting-edge battery and robotic systems for mass production. Our ideal candidate loves solving challenging problems for real-world applications and will collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, mechatronics, thermal, and test engineers to design and develop the next generation of battery modules and charging/swapping systems.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Optimize battery system design through multiphysics simulations
• Perform thermal modeling of battery packs, modules, and cells (Cooling/Heating, Air/Liquid/PCM)
• Conduct numerical modeling of battery packs, modules, and cells (ECM, ROM, MSMD)
• Guide experimental validation and testing based on simulation results
• Define battery system performance specifications through simulations
• Perform thermal management simulation and analysis of charging stations and racks
• Automate simulation processes and document procedures

REQUIREMENTS:

• Minimum of 3 years industrial experience with multiphysics simulations
• Strong background in mechanical, thermal, and electrical systems
• Master's degree in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, physics, chemistry, or electrical engineering; PhD preferred
• Experience with 3D simulation software such as Ansys (Mechanical, CFD, LS-Dyna, EM), Star-CCM+, COMSOL Multiphysics, etc.

BONUS SKILLS:

• Experience running simulations on HPC clusters
• Experience with complex system simulations involving hundreds of parts
• Proficiency in Python and C programming
• Experience modeling battery packs and modules
• Process automation skills

We are an equal opportunity and E-verified employer. We value diversity and do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, gender identity, expression, marital status, veteran status, or other protected characteristics.
