Diagnostic Algorithm Development

· Lead the design and implementation of model-based and data-driven diagnostic algorithms for lithium-ion battery systems

· Develop fault detection, isolation, and recovery strategies that integrate seamlessly with battery management systems (BMS)

· Identify root causes and failure modes using field data, lab tests, and analytical tools

· Collaborate with algorithm engineers, embedded software developers, and system architects to define diagnostic requirements

· Map failure paths and diagnostic coverage in alignment with functional safety standards (ISO 26262, IEC 61508)

· Ensure system-level diagnostics are accurate, adaptive, and fail-safe

Validation & Calibration

· Define verification and validation protocols for diagnostic features

· Use hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setups and simulation models to test fault scenarios
