What is a physics simulation?

A Physics Simulation job involves developing and implementing mathematical models to replicate real-world physical behaviors in software. Professionals in this field work with physics engines, numerical methods, and programming to simulate motion, collisions, fluid dynamics, or other physical phenomena. These simulations are used in industries such as gaming, film VFX, engineering, and scientific research to test and visualize complex systems. Strong skills in physics, programming (e.g., C++, Python), and computational techniques are essential for success in this role.

What are the typical daily tasks and responsibilities for someone working in physics simulation?

Professionals in Physics Simulation spend much of their day developing, testing, and refining computational models to represent physical phenomena, often collaborating with engineers and scientists to define simulation objectives. Responsibilities may include writing or optimizing code, analyzing simulation outputs, adjusting parameters to improve accuracy, and documenting methodologies and results. You might also participate in team meetings to review project milestones, discuss findings, and recommend design or process improvements based on your simulations. The role often involves both independent technical work and cross-disciplinary cooperation, making adaptability and clear communication important for success.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the physics simulation position, and why are they important?

To thrive in a Physics Simulation role, you need a solid background in physics, mathematics, and computer science, often supported by a relevant STEM degree. Proficiency in simulation software (such as MATLAB, ANSYS, or COMSOL), programming languages (like Python or C++), and familiarity with numerical modeling systems are typically required. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective collaboration and communication abilities are highly valued in this field. These competencies ensure accurate simulation results, efficient teamwork, and the ability to tackle complex real-world challenges in research or industry settings.

Re-posted 17 days ago

Key responsibilities

  • Conduct battery pack thermal and CFD analysis, including running simulations and providing assessments and recommendations.

  • Develop and coordinate test and validation activities for battery cells, packs, modules, and thermal management systems.

  • Analyze cell test data to develop models and apply them for module- and pack-level simulations.

Job description

The Battery Thermal Simulation Engineer will be responsible to develop, maintain, and conduct high-voltage (HV) Li-Ion battery pack-level thermal and CFD analysis, develop battery pack thermal models based on test results, and provide technical advice to internal and external customers for the design optimization of HV automotive Li-Ion battery packs.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Conduct battery pack thermal and CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis — running simulations on battery packs, modules, and electrical subsystems, verifying design concepts, and providing assessments and recommendations to mechanical, electrical, and hardware engineers.
  • Develop and coordinate test and validation activities for verification and validation of battery cells, packs, modules, and thermal management systems, including test plan setup, test involvement, project scheduling, and result analyses.
  • Analyze cell test data and develop equivalent circuit models (ECM) and life models; apply the resulting models for module- and pack-level simulations.
  • Develop battery Simulink plant models and battery pack thermal models based on test results.
  • Conduct cell-level thermal analysis and integrate it with electrochemical simulations.
  • Provide requirements for improvements to advanced simulation activities, including CFD, thermal, structural, and multi-physics analysis.
  • Contribute to the future development of software and hardware for simulation support.
  • Interact with validation engineers to conduct root cause analysis and provide technical proposals and solutions to resolve engineering problems.
  • Participate in benchmarking activities.
  • Be solution-oriented and adept at creating contingency plans to meet deadlines and milestones.
  • Perform any additional duties as assigned.
