Our team develops firmware and controls for HV embedded systems including battery management systems, power converters, charging, and motor controls. In this role, you will be collaborating with many cross-functional teams from electrical architecture, systems, and other platform software engineers for firmware development through all stages of program development.

Responsibilities:

Integrate core battery controls and application software components at pack and vehicle level.

Coordinate BMS software development efforts to ensure alignment with defined requirements and integration with other system components (Charge Port, OBC, DC/DC, Inverter, Thermal System, etc.).

Develop HV embedded controls software from low-level base software, diagnostics, and controls application firmware modules.

Verify the performance and reliability of the BMS algorithms using battery packs / cells and battery cyclers

Tune and optimize controls calibration parameters to improve performance

Support battery pack manufacturing and DV troubleshooting efforts.

Develop and maintain unit, MIL, and SIL tests to validate software.

Define and specify interfaces between application software and firmware.

Work with/resolve ambiguity in requirements/specifications/designs.

Enforce quality by helping define test cases with test team by providing detailed requirements and supporting documentation when needed

Collaborate with platform software, validation, and analytics teams to implement and refine algorithms, and integrate feedback from field and lab data.

Develop comprehensive test plans and perform thorough testing to validate firmware functionality, stability, and performance under various conditions.

Extract and document detailed component-level requirements for battery management systems and power electronics, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams (hardware, firmware, systems engineering) to ensure alignment with overall vehicle objectives.

Contribute to firmware, hardware, systems, and functional safety design reviews.

Participate in functional safety and failure avoidance analysis of complex electrical and software vehicle subsystems (HARAs, FMEAs, etc.).

Prepare technical reports and presentations to communicate findings to key stakeholders and management.

Collaborate with mechanical, hardware and system team for seamless integration of hardware and software components.

Act as the primary point of contact between the BMS software team and the battery pack team.

Document integration and calibration processes, test results and system configurations

Work with hardware and debuggers at a bench and HIL level to verify software operation.

Instrument and profile software to identify opportunities for optimization on the submodule and system level.
