On-siteSomerville, Massachusetts, United States
Job Summary
Develop and apply technoeconomic models to evaluate competing product concepts and set technical direction for a next-generation battery. Partner with scientists and engineers to quantify design options' impact on system performance and cost, while carrying out mechanical design, analysis, and bench-scale experiments to de-risk assumptions. Establish system-level requirements and cascade them to component teams, communicating architecture decisions across product management, finance, supply chain, and manufacturing. Work shoulder-to-shoulder with the Advanced Technology Product Architecture lead to define and shape the architecture from the ground up.
