In this position... The Battery Management Embedded Software Engineer owns the base software platform beneath the application layer for high-voltage battery management controllers — the real-time operating system, hardware abstraction, drivers, communication stacks, software update mechanism, and security foundation.

Assignments may include string-level or system-level battery management controllers and may shift across the product architecture over the life of the program.

The ideal candidate has brought up embedded hardware from first power-on, written drivers from datasheets, integrated and hardened communication stacks, and owned a production software update path.

Qualifications You'll have...Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
5+ years developing embedded software in C for resource-constrained real-time systems.

Strong microcontroller architecture fundamentals: memory maps, interrupts, DMA, timing, and determinism.

Production experience with a real-time operating system or equivalent scheduling framework.

Driver development from datasheets and hands-on hardware debug experience.

Communication protocol implementation experience including CAN or CAN FD.Boot loader, flashing, or software update implementation experience.

Version control, code review, and continuous integration discipline.

Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Ability and willingness to travel occasionally

Even better, you may have...Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science.

Battery management, high-voltage, or safety-relevant control unit software experience.

Layered automotive base software architecture experience.

Experience interfacing to cell monitoring front-end devices over isolated serial or CAN-based interfaces.

Secure boot, secure flashing, hardware security module, or cryptographic library integration.

Software development under functional safety and cybersecurity process requirements.

Familiarity with industrial communication protocol stacks in addition to automotive networks.

MISRA C compliance and static analysis tool chains.

Continuous integration and hardware-in-the-loop automation for embedded targets.
