Junior Mechanical Simulation Engineer

**Join us and be a pioneer for a green transport revolution.**
**Automotive Cells Company (ACC) is one of Europe’s newest and most exciting high-tech companies. Backed by Saft-Total, Stellantis-Opel and Mercedes-Benz,** ACC is set to **power the future of the automotive industry** by innovating in battery technology.

We aim to produce sustainable, affordable, high-capacity, longer-life batteries as a** cleaner alternative to current energy sources**. We have created an R&D center and new state-of-the art facility in France (New Aquitaine), and we are building gigafactories in Hauts de France, Germany and Italy.

We need a range of **skilled and agile people** to bring our vision to life, especially in the areas of industrialization, mechanical design, testing/prototyping and any other function of a new-born company. If you’re looking to take your career further than you imagined, if you’re passionate about creating cleaner transport, we’d like to hear from you.

**Accelerating sustainable mobility for all.**

**Job description**:
The junior mechanical simulation engineer will model modules mechanical response under several load conditions. He/She will support the engineering team and design office for cells and module design. He/She will have cross activities with Thermal Modeling engineer, Abuse Modeling engineer to optimize battery design. He/She will support more R&D-oriented topics for ACC internal customers or low TRL projects: the support will include state-of-the-art models and the modelling activity.

He/she will use CAD/CAE tools (for example, Hyperworks) and Finite Element implicit solvers (for example, Optistruct).

He/She may contribute to the activities related to explicit dynamic modeling by using explicit solvers (for instance, Radioss or LSDyna) and to vibrations/random response analyses. Accordingly, the junior mechanical simulation engineer may attend some classes for developing specific knowledges about these topics.

He/She will also support Solid State Batteries conception. He/She will manage external Research cooperation on their field of expertise. He/She will participate in cell and module validation activities. He/She will have to present results of his studies internally and to customers.

**The Main Missions will be**:

- Perform mechanical fully non-linear static simulation at pack, module and cell level.
- Support mechanical explicit dynamic simulation at pack, module and cell level.
- Support mechanical vibration simulation at pack, module and cell level.
- Develop autonomous skills in research and development
- Able to coordinate characterization test. Data Interpretation and data analysis.
- Interpretation and data analysis.
- Correlate models vs reality to improve company experience
- Manage internal and external projects, contracts, while collaborating with internal teams (R&D, Industrialization, Projects, Simulation,).
- Manage collaborations with suppliers, customers and strategic partners.
- Contribution in the company roadmap.
- Be up to date to the state of the art on its topic of expertise.
- Support Intellectual Property monitoring and propose innovative patentable concepts.
