General job description

 

Addionics is looking to employ a Machine learning (ML) & Battery Modelling Engineer who will be responsible for creating artificial intelligence (AI) solutions on electrochemical and thermo-mechanical models of the next generation of innovative lithium-ion batteries. It will involve working on patent-pending methods and new solutions for batteries at electrode, cell and system level. The candidate must have a legal right to work in the UK.

 

The focus will be development and implementation of ML algorithms and simulations of high-fidelity models of Addionics battery designs and electrode technology. The candidate will be response to facilitate battery design from a fundamental level to enhance optimization of performance using ML techniques; working alongside other team members and Addionics solutions. The successful candidate will therefore help develop ground-breaking solutions to resolve pore-scale transport processes and understand structure-performance relationships that will serve as a benchmark and guide for future designs and operation of emerging lithium-ion battery technology. The role will involve highly innovative and close collaborations with senior battery scientists, industrial partners and Addionics’ team in Israel. The candidate should be a strong self-motivator, with capable skillset in batteries and machine learning. The candidate will report to the company’s directors from time-to-time and work within the offices based in Central London. The candidate will take pride in the unique new role and maintain our high quality of work.

 

A holder of the position will play a vital role in planning and successfully running and completing important AI informed designs of electrode microstructures which will help determine R&D directions and scaling -up.
