Battery Controls Engineer

The battery software engineer works within a team to develop platform application software for the family of next-generation xEV FCA powertrains. The ideal candidate, who must be a strong team player and willing to work in a fast-paced environment, will be directly involved in developing controls strategies and embedded software products for automotive battery management systems using model-based tools.

The battery software engineer develops and delivers software in compliance with project timing and budget. This will include working with other team members to develop SW model-based requirements leading to development, execution, and quality testing of software throughout the life cycle.

• Design, develop, calibrate and test application embedded code in battery management system applications.
• Develop and implement model based HV battery controls and core battery algorithms using Matlab/Simulink/State Flow.
• Validate model-based designs (MIL & SIL).
• Ability to analyze auto generated code from Embedded Coder.
• Support HIL (hardware-in-loop) testing and analyze data to identify implementation issues.
• Define software test cases and establish traceability to software requirements.
• Support software development processes and create technical design description documents.
• Other areas of expertise that will support work products include: general knowledge of Hybrid Battery & Hybrid Vehicle operation, RTOS (real-time Operating Systems), ECU (Electronic Control Unit) configuration, OBDII (On board Diagnostic), Embedded-coder auto-code generation and Matlab/Python scripting.

• B.S. in Computer Science or Electrical/Electronic Engineering or related field.
• 5 + years' experience and working knowledge of software & model based design with track record of robust implementations.
• 3+ years' experience and working knowledge of tools for model based design, auto code generation, manual/automated test case development, and configuration/data/change management.
• Embedded C programming experience.
• Proficient in Matlab/Simulink.
• Prior experience with data acquisition and analysis tools such as ETAS-INCA.
• Working understanding of CAN data networking.
• Proficient with Vector tools (Canalyzer, CANape, CANoe).
• Ability to be effective in a Fast-paced development environment and react to changes.
• Willing to work extended hours occasionally as required to meet project deadlines.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Excellent problem solving and organizational skills.

• Master of Science in Electrical/Electronics/SW Engineering or Computer Science or related discipline at a nationally accredited institution.
• Prior experience with BMS software development and control algorithms.
• At least 3 years' prior experience with electrified powertrains and battery management.
• Prior work with battery pack/cell simulator systems based on either dSpace or ETAS. Experience with battery state estimation algorithms including state-of-charge (SOC) estimation, state-of-health (SOH), and state-of-power (SOP).
• Lithium ion battery experience.
• Tier 1 supplier experience.
• Experience with Agile Software Development Process.
