- Develop high-voltage isolation monitoring, interlock handling, and high-voltage (HV) safety logic.
- Develop equivalent-circuit and physics-based battery models for real-time embedded execution and offline simulation.
- Design controls algorithms to be scalable across chemistries, cell formats, and pack architectures.
- Define software and controls requirements from customer, vehicle, and system-level inputs.
- Perform algorithm and feature validation through MIL, SIL, HIL, bench, and vehicle testing.
- Support embedded software integration, auto-code generation, calibration, and production software releases.
- Analyze battery and vehicle data using Python and modern data tools to refine models, calibrations, and diagnostics.
- Apply AI-assisted engineering tools to accelerate algorithm development, simulation, validation, scripting, and documentation.
- Support root cause analysis and issue resolution across prototype, validation, launch, and production phases.

- Strong hands-on experience with MATLAB, Simulink, Stateflow, and model-based design.
- Experience developing BMS functional controls such as contactor/pre-charge control, cell balancing, thermal management, and current/power limit arbitration.
- Experience developing state estimation algorithms using Kalman filtering or observer-based methods.
- Experience with BMS diagnostics, fault detection and reaction, and high-voltage isolation monitoring.
- Working knowledge of ISO 26262 and functional safety as applied to high-voltage battery systems.
- Experience with embedded software integration, auto-code generation, and production release processes.
- Experience with HIL/SIL validation and Controller Area Network (CAN) tools including CANalyzer, CANoe, Vehicle Spy, or equivalent.
- Proficiency in Python for data analysis and validation workflows.
- Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and communication skills.
- Decision Making & Analysis: Makes sound decisions based upon a mixture of data-driven analysis, expertise, experience, and judgment; collects relevant information, seeking input from others, and identifies connections and/or root causes of problems
