ONE is looking for a wide variety of innovators to help us engineer test improve manufacture and market our technology. Join the #ONETeam today and be part of Forbes #3 Best Startups to Work For in 2023.
ONE team members are transforming the energy storage industry worldwide.The future will arrive faster if we build it together. Visitwww.one.ai/careersfor more information.
Job Summary
The Cell Product Development team is developing ONEs battery cells for our rapidly growing business in automotive grid and commercial applications. Our objective is to design prototype evaluate and scaleup novel cell product designs with focus on detail innovation and pack/systems integration. Successful cell designs will be scaledup and manufactured in our 20 GWh cell factory in Van Buren Township MI.
As a Senior Cell Test Engineer you will develop methods to evaluate and characterize new cell products which considerably improve energy density power density DC fast charge capability safety and cost over incumbent EV technologies. Your focus will be to develop analysis (analytical numerical and empirical) characterization methods and test plans to evaluate materials components and cell designs for energy/power density performance safety performance structural and thermal performance DC fast charging cost down etc. You will work with suppliers test/fabrication houses and various inhouse teams at ONE to execute cell and component test plans to accelerate the time to market for new cell and materials technologies.
We are looking for a passionate individual who shares our values. Our team is comprised of various integrated disciplines including mechanical structural thermal electrical materials/chemistry and software. Therefore collaboration in group settings ability to solve system integration challenges and clear communication are valuable to becoming a successful team member.
