Innovation Project Leader

Achieve the functional and dysfunctional design of innovative batteries to ensure the desired performance of the battery pack with a minimum safety with respect to an agreed planning with a cross functional synthesis with several skilled people.

• Assess the disruptive technologies in cell electrochemistry for automotive application from technical performance points of view.

• Lead relationships with different external partners (academics, startups, cell manufacturers, material providers).

• Lead relationships and human resources coordination with different advanced and core teams with internal facilities.

• Lead and extend partnerships and internal facilities upgrade plan.

• Build and disseminate the mid and long terms roadmaps for cell electrochemistry technologies and designs.

ISSUES:

•  To master and disseminate the process of functional and dysfunctional design of batteries by seeking unprecedented performance in terms of horsepower and energy
