Technical Validation Engineer

Automotive Cells Company (ACC) est une co-entreprise créée à l'été 2020 par Saft-Total, Stellantis et Mercedes-Benz. Notre ambition est de produire des cellules pour batteries au meilleur niveau technologique tout en rendant la mobilité électrique accessible au plus grand nombre.

Pour donner vie à cette ambition, à la fois pour notre centre de R&D et notre ligne test en Nouvelle Aquitaine, mais aussi pour nos gigafactories dans les Hauts de France, en Allemagne et en Italie, nous recherchons des personnes compétentes et agiles, notamment dans les domaines aussi diverses et variés que la R&D, l'industrialisation, la conception mécanique, les tests/prototypageset toute autre fonction d'une entreprise en pleine expansion.

Si vous cherchez à faire évoluer votre carrière au-delà de ce que vous aviez imaginé, si vous êtes passionné par la création de transports plus propres, si rejoindre l'industrie du futur vous stimule, n'hésitez plus et rejoignez nous

Nos Valeurs sont : Esprit Pionnier, Rapidité et agilité, Excellence, Plus Vert, Plus Propre

**Description du poste**:
As part of the development of EV battery cells & modules, within the ACC product development teams, contribute on all aspects of validation in order to:

- guarantee the ability of products to be compliant with both customer and ACC requirements : ageing, derating, reliability at MOL8, performance, safety...
- develop and validate methods of evaluation and validation of the product validation-activities according to customer project milestones and validation strategy.

**Main missions, objectives and KPIs related**:
As the Technical Validation Engineer you wll be responsible to define and deliver the technical activities which are assigned to you.
- You will ensure that one or multiple requirements at met as defined in the compliance matrix owned by the Systems team
- You will generate a validation plan for the requirements in your remit, working closely with the relevant technical experts (Chemistry, Mechanics, Simulation) and support the V&V leader to integrate this into the master plan (planning, milestone events, allocation of DUTs and Test slots) as well as the Systems team (requirements, validation criteria, evidence levels)
- You will participate in the Failure Mode and Mechanism analysis for the products with the aim to identify the associated risk of a require and to determine a comprehensive validation plan.

You will deliver the validation plan and then document and report out the evidence.
- You will issue the Test Request to the internal test lab, creating them in PLM and linking them to the relevant requirements. You will create and link the Validation Plan to the Test Request, collating all the tests required to validate the requirements under your charge.
- You will draft all the Test Procedures ensuring that they comply to the standards/constraints of the project, simulation and the Test Lab: capacity, capability, expected results, success criteria
- You will ensure that your tests are conducted correctly and report out on behalf of the Test Lab, ensuring clear communication to the V&V leader.
- You will analyse test result and issue a summary report of findings (Design Validation Report / DVR) and track the status of the validation plan.
- You will issue the necessary simulation requests to support the validation of your requirements.
- You will collect and correlate the simulation results with physical test results.
- You will capture lessons learnt throughout the project and propose improvements to prevent recurrence.

You will be the interface between the Systems team and the V&V Leader:

- You will be the technical reference for your domain and you will lead the testing justification, analysis and comprehension of results with support from the Systems team and the V&V Leader.
- You will initiate the PRs (Problem Reports) and escalate them to the V&V Leader accompanied by a 1st level analysis to enable the responsible teams to be identified (mechanical, process )
- You will report out a regular requirement validation status as well as any blockers impacting the product specification.
- You will follow the product specification development as well as the associated validation plans led by the engineering team and provide support where required.
