Job description
Post Graduate Engineer – Battery Cells Development or Battery Cells Development
SALARY: £15,600
LOCATION: University of Warwick, Warwickshire
DURATION: 6 Month Placement
An ever-evolving heritage. A truly exciting future. Two of the world’s most iconic brands. Jaguar Land Rover is revered across the globe. Continually pushing the boundaries of innovation and redefining the benchmark for excellence, we set the standards others want to follow. We want to keep it that way too. Which is where you join the journey.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Powertrain Research and Technology are responsible for delivering robust and cost-effective new technology into the Jaguar Land Rover products. The Systems team is responsible for developing advanced powertrain technologies relating to electrification, electric motors, power electronics and batteries. We are looking to recruit a postgraduate student to support our research projects.
You’ll be given a choice of one of our two projects.
Project One: Battery Cells Development
The main objective of this project is to support the project team, with your chemistry skills, in developing new solutions for Battery Cells.
In this project Battery Cells Development, you will take part in assessment of different battery chemistries, create a model within MATLAB/Simulink environment and correlate this model with available data, and finally generate requirements for future vehicles based on the learning developed within the project.
Project Two: Battery Charging Development
The main objective of this project is to support the project team, with your electrical engineering know how, in developing new solutions for automotive Battery Charging.
In this project Battery Charging Development, you will take part in assessment of different charging technologies and control strategies, create a model within MATLAB/Simulink environment to and correlate this model with available data, and finally generate requirements for future vehicles based on the learning developed within the project.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
The prime requirement for participation in this project is to be pursuing a postgraduate degree in electrical engineering and/or advanced chemistry / electrochemistry. It is just as important that you’ll have good appreciation of modelling techniques as well as an understanding of electric vehicles propulsion / batteries system layout. You’ll also be expected to have an awareness of energy management principles and controls engineering.
Though not essential it is desirable that you’ll have previous MATLAB/Simulink experience as well as a general understanding of vehicle engineering including automotive drive cycles.
A resilient self-starter with the ability to resolve technical challenges with limited guidance, you’ll be able to deliver results under pressure, whilst responding constructively to new ideas and inputs.
BENEFITS
Bring all this to the home of premium innovation, and you’ll find the opportunities to further your career with a world-class team, a discounted car purchase and lease scheme for you and your family, membership of a competitive pension plan and performance related bonus scheme. All this and more makes Jaguar Land Rover the perfect place to continue your journey.
Disclaimer
This project is offered to those who are pursuing a postgraduate degree (at least MSc or equivalent) as a part of the Research Postgraduate Placement Scheme. All placements are offered on a fixed term contract and must complete within twelve months or sooner if specified in the start and completion information as part of this specification. You will agree with your manager on a suitable start and finish time and project objectives aligned with your technical interests and business needs.
Students must already have a Right to Work in the UK visa for the complete duration of the placement, and be able to undertake 40 hours per week, each week, for the duration of the project.
