Battery Cell Management Expert

As a global market leader in sensing & driving solutions, targeted for Automotive as well as Adjacent markets, Melexis is continuously expanding in applications that require semiconductor solutions with high levels of integration/miniaturisation and value-add. As batteries are a fundamental part of the future E-mobility, but also for ESS (Energy Storage Systems), the charge acceptance beyond 5C (full charge in <12 minutes) and transient charge acceptance are key, but should come without the penalty of cell degradation. Melexis has IP in this field that requires a lead engineer leveraging a strong background in Li-ion electrochemistry with a double focus: an internal focus to develop and validate the new concepts, as well as an outward focus, to forge strategic alliances with partners & industry experts in the value chain – possibly under EU funding.

As a Battery Cell Management Expert, you will:
Develop demonstrators of new confidential concepts spearheading the industry

Translating academic experience into product development advancing the TRL (Technology Readiness Level)

Collaborate with external industry and research partners to introduce new technologies and develop early business opportunities supported by the Melexis marketing managers – advancing the CRL (Commercial Readiness Level)

Develop new IP and drive the patent filing process with the Melexis IP team

Lead or strongly contribute to the entire process from ideation to prototype validation and product definition – with further career opportunities in the same field in the product development, the business unit or new R&D topics in development engineering or innovation teams.
