Job Description
At Heart Aerospace we develop the ES-30, a regional hybrid-electric airplane with a capacity of 30 passengers, an electric zero-emission range of 200 km and an extended hybrid range of 400 km. Heart is targeting type certification of the ES-30 by the end of the decade.
We are now looking for a Senior Battery Design Engineer to join our Energy Storage Systems team in Gothenburg. Do you have experience in battery design and development and want to contribute to a more sustainable future?
Your mission
As a Senior Battery Design Engineer, your mission is to lead the design and development of advanced battery systems for the ES-30. This role involves designing, analyzing, and optimizing battery components and systems using CAD, FEM, and CFD tools to enhance performance, safety, and reliability. You will be at the forefront of innovation, driving the design, prototyping, and manufacturing processes to create next-generation energy storage solutions.
You will work closely with cross-functional teams and collaborate with both internal and external stakeholders to align on technical requirements, ensure compliance with industry standards, and deliver robust, efficient battery modules and packs.
Key responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Lead the design and optimization of battery modules and packs using CAD software.
- Perform FEM (Finite Element Method) and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analyses to evaluate mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of battery components.
- Develop and validate simulation models to predict battery performance, efficiency, and lifespan.
- Collaborate with hardware, software, and systems engineering teams to integrate battery systems effectively.
- Assess and mitigate risks associated with battery design, including safety and regulatory compliance.
- Oversee prototyping, testing, and manufacturing processes to ensure design intent and quality standards.
- Coordinate with suppliers and internal stakeholders for component selection and material sourcing.
- Conduct failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), reliability testing, and participate in design reviews.
- Contribute to technical documentation, specifications, and reports.
You will be part of the Energy Storage Systems team and your place of work will be at our main office located in Gothenburg, Sweden.
