TE Battery Chemistry Modeling

We made history and now we work to transform the future - for our customers, our communities and our families. You'll see your work on the road every day, helping people move freely and pursue their dreams. At Ford, you can build more than vehicles. Come build what matters.

In this position...

Contribute to a team highly engaged in all aspects of battery materials research from material synthesis, characterization, fabrication of coin and pouch cells, and testing for electrochemical performance. A Technical Expert in Battery Chemistry Modeling is needed to lead the team's effort on fundamental battery material modeling using atomic and molecular modeling, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and other chemical and physical models to predict viable material compositions, chemical mechanisms, material densities, ion diffusion rates, and other battery material properties.

What you'll do...

Lead battery chemistry material model development based on target material properties including density, fast ionic diffusion, composition, phase stability, etc.

Provide actionable mechanistic insight into function and degradation processes in battery cells, including phase evolution, interfacial layer formation and growth, and electrolyte additive function.

Take data inputs from material and battery synthesis and characterization

Collaborate with other team members to implement the modeled insights and learnings in real battery materials and systems

Lead joint projects with universities and national labs that leverage DFT/ML/AI/MD and other modeling methods
