Permanent employment // full-time (f/m/d)

Senior Battery Expert & Analyst

Location: Dresden / remote // Starting: as of now

You got a few years (c. 2 at least) of working experience with Li Ion Batteries, in particular modelling and investigation of degradation mechanism and the involved electrochemical processes? You got a robust knowledge on the external influencing factors to phenomena like Li-Plating, capacity fade, kneepoint-onset, and the like? You are moreover eager to see your experience and knowhow in practical action, having a real impact on customers, politics and the environment – not only theoretically, but practically on terrabytes of real-life battery data.

If so, we’d gladly welcome you in our team as a Senior Battery Expert & Analyst, supporting our algorithm development department for our scalable, automated battery analytics software platform.

Our Mission

We make the wear of the most expensive vehicle wear part, the battery, transparent. By unlocking valuable information in the field data that continuously accumulates during daily system operation, we enable our customers to develop more economical battery systems, reduce operational risks and establish after-use concepts (2nd-use).

We are an experienced team of engineers, battery experts and software developers and, as a spin-off of the Fraunhofer Institute for Transportation and Infrastructure Systems IVI, we work with state-of-the-art technology for a higher goal – more on www.volytica.com.
