Machine Learning Scientist, R&D
- Applications are considered on a rolling basis
- Multiple locations
We are looking for an exceptionally innovative, research-oriented individual to join in our mission to build a greener future. By joining us, you will help invent the next generation of ML systems that accelerate cell design, materials discovery and battery manufacturing that operate at unprecedented scale of impact. The role is a part of our AI & Machine learning team in the R&D organization based in Sweden (Stockholm/Västerås).
In this role you will:
- Collaborate x-functionally with Cell Design, Materials Development and Data Engineering teams
- Research novel Machine Learning architectures for de-mystifying State-of-Health of batteries
- Develop new approaches to merge Physics-based models with Deep Learning paradigms.
- Develop techniques to fuse and leverage simulated and experimental battery performance datasets.
- Learn about principles of electrochemistry and physics that govern cell development processes
- Likely co-invent a range of algorithmic methods that will be foundational for the next generation of battery development
Key responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Help develop a new class of algorithms and architectures to improve the runtime and performance of batteries.
- Develop ML algorithms to predict several metrics for understanding lifetime electrical performance of batteries.
- Help develop a new program for Applications Machine Learning in Cell Design, Cell performance and Optimized Manufacturing.
- Work cross-functionally with cell designers, test & validation engineers, and battery system experts.
- Willingness to travel to our various manufacturing sites within Europe and United States.
- Interpret advanced battery model design parameters and simulations to formulate and implement new predictive modeling strategies.
The person we are looking for is flexible, curious and eager to learn. You will get the chance to have a real impact on our success story and see the results of your work every day across our R&D labs and factories. Our organization values are great self-discipline and a natural talent to make things happen. Qualities that we cherish are sense of quality, friendliness, grit and a sense of humor.

About the company
Northvolt makes green batteries for a blue planet. Affordable cells and high-quality battery systems. All manufactured with a record-low carbon footprint. Purposely built to provide Europe with the opportunity to switch to renewable energy – efficiently and entirely.
To accomplish this, we do things differently. We design, manufacture, and recycle everything under one roof. We even build our own factories. All this is incredibly challenging and requires us to think in unconventional ways. We’re constantly experimenting, learning and adapting to make batteries so great – they will one day make oil history.
Northvolt is growing fast. We’re staffing our international office in Stockholm, our R&D facility, Northvolt Labs, in Västerås, as well as our Gdansk facility for production of battery systems. We're also hiring for our gigafactory Northvolt Ett in Skellefteå, Sweden. We want to work with smart individuals from all disciplines. Strong individuals that truly want to make a positive impact on the future. Those of us already on board share a passion for our mission. We’re prepared to work hard in pursuit of excellence. We enjoy the ride and our main drive is to make a difference for real. As a team, we’re dedicated to thinking new, working hard and having fun.
