Senior Researcher, AI/ML Battery Modeler

Hybrid location:
Report to the Research Administration Building at the Global Technical Center in Warren, MI at least three times per week.

Our work powers real vehicles on the road. You’ll move ideas from theory to product, working at the intersection of science, modeling, and real‑world impact.

• Work alongside globally recognized experts in battery materials, modeling, and systems engineering.
• Tackle open‑ended, high‑impact problems spanning electrochemistry, thermal science, mechanics, data science, and AI.
• Leverage cutting‑edge experimental facilities, advanced instrumentation, and high‑performance computing.
• Use state‑of‑the‑art AI/ML and scientific modeling tools to generate new insights.
• Be supported to publish and present original research in leading journals and conferences.
• Collaborate with battery suppliers, tier 1 universities, national labs, and DOE/NSF programs.
• See your research directly implemented in GM EVs at a global scale.
• Grow across technical, leadership, and research career paths in a deeply technical environment.

As a Senior Researcher, you will shape the future of electric mobility by developing next‑generation battery models using advanced AI/ML techniques. You’ll build physics‑informed, data‑driven, and hybrid models, and define new modeling approaches that push the boundaries of battery science and AI.

• Develop and deploy advanced AI/ML models, including physics‑informed and hybrid approaches, to predict battery performance, aging, and degradation.
• Build and refine multiphysics models that couple electrochemical, thermal, and mechanical behavior.
• Identify and develop novel modeling approaches for next‑generation battery chemistries and systems.
• Turn complex experimental and simulation datasets into actionable insights using Python‑based scientific computing and ML frameworks.
• Partner with engineering teams to translate research into production, integrating models into battery management systems (BMS) and product workflows.
• Publish and present your work through peer‑reviewed journals, conferences, and technical forums.
• Drive technical direction through deep problem solving, collaboration, and influence across disciplines.
• Contribute to intellectual property and patents for new algorithms and modeling innovations.

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or related field with a focus on AI/ML.
• Proven experience developing AI/ML models, ideally applied to batteries, electrochemical systems, or multiphysics domains.
• Strong Python proficiency with experience in ML/scientific libraries (PyTorch, Tensor Flow, Num Py, Sci Py).
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to extract insights from complex datasets.
• Demonstrated research experience (publications, technical reports, or conference presentations).
• Ability to clearly communicate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.
• Strong collaboration and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to influence across teams.
• Commitment to continuous learning and advancing the state of the art in AI/ML and battery technology.

• Experience with physics‑informed or hybrid modeling approaches.
• Background in battery degradation, aging, or lifetime modeling.
• Familiarity with battery management systems (BMS) or system‑level integration.
• Experience with large‑scale datasets or high‑performance computing environments.
• Contributions to patents, intellectual property, or external research collaborations.
• Experimental experience with measurements of battery material/electrochemical properties.
