Onsite
Intern
Start in 2026 SummerHyundai America Technical Center, Inc. (HATCI) is currently looking for an Electrochemical Model Development Intern to support the development of a core battery modeling environment. This role involves implementing and validating electrochemical models, developing thermal and degradation sub-models, and automating simulation workflows to analyze battery performance metrics.
Automotive
Responsibilities
Implement and Validate Electrochemical Models: Implement physics-based (e.g., P2D) or equivalent circuit models (ECM) of lithium-ion batteries within the modeling environment, and validate their performance against experimental cell data across various operating conditions (e.g., C-rates, temperatures)
Develop Thermal and Degradation Sub-models: Contribute to the integration and development of thermal sub-models to predict temperature distributions and associated degradation mechanisms (e.g., SEI growth, lithium plating) to enhance the environment's capability for lifecycle analysis
Automate and Optimize Simulation Workflows: Assist in creating automated data processing and simulation workflows (using languages like Python or MATLAB) to enable the rapid analysis of battery performance metrics such as energy efficiency and power capability
Document and Support Model Use: Document the implemented models, validation results, and best practices for the modeling environment, and support the internal team in using the models for specific battery design and performance analysis tasks
Qualification
Required
Currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or related fields
Foundational knowledge of electrochemical systems, lithium-ion battery fundamentals, cell-level behavior, and battery degradation mechanisms
Demonstrated experience in electrochemical or battery core model development and refinement, including version control and visualization using Python and the PyBaMM framework
Strong written and verbal communication skills
