Energy Storage Systems Specialist

SAIC is seeking an Energy Storage Systems Specialist to support the US Navy in Crane, IN.

The Engineer (Electrical or Systems) will provide technical support for power and energy storage systems and testing for military applications, with focus on Nickel-Zinc (NiZn) battery cell testing, including the generation of test plans, analysis of results, and oversight of test system setups. Provide input on the initial system designs to final system integrations. The candidate would provide input to the engineering team on the development and execution of test plans for both individual cells and the integrated battery system. The candidate would look at the overall project life cycle and help to guide/provide input on the engineering decisions of today to ensure we meet major technical decision milestones to achieve the end goal of the project, which is the successful implementation of a NiZn battery on a submarine. This is a technical engineering role and does not include budget management or project scheduling responsibilities., * Engineering support and requirements development for electrical, mechanical, controls and mitigation solutions for the identified system and the interfaces of the integrated shipboard environment

• Assist with engineering investigations on power and energy systems, energy storage enclosures and support processes
• Engineering investigations require familiarity with capabilities and limitations of commercial failure and material analysis of non-destructive and destructive analysis for Nickel Zinc, lithium-ion and silver-zinc chemistry energy storage systems, enclosure and mitigation systems
• Investigations and review of studies, analysis, evaluations, and assessments provided to the Government
• Characterizing large-scale battery performance, developing failure modes and effects, NiZinc fire mitigation and suppression concepts, prototyping battery-agnostic containment solutions, and examining Nickel Zinc and other alternative Next Generation energy storage viability
