  support cell design, analysis, and electrochemical modeling
• Write test plans, design
  experiments (DOE), and summarize findings in technical reports
• Maintain high-level metrics
  linking simulation data to electrochemical models
• Support cross-functional teams
  with data requests and disseminate research findings efficiently
• Document model workflows,
  implementations, and simulation study results
  

• Degree in Engineering, Computer
  Science, or equivalent experience
• Expert-level programming and data
