• use CAD/CAE tools (for example, Hyperworks) and Finite Element explicit solvers (for example, Radioss or LSDyna).
• contribute to the activities related to implicit modeling (non-linear static analyses and/or vibrations) by using implicit solvers (for instance, Optistruct).
• define the full set of material mechanical properties needed to proficiently and effectively carry out the calculations.
• also support Solid State Batteries conception.
• manage external Research cooperation on their field of expertise.
• participate in cell and module validation activities.
• have to present results of his studies internally and to customers.
