Responsibilities include but not limited to:

Battery Calibration:

• Develop, implement, and execute calibration strategies for high voltage battery systems.
• Calibrate battery management systems (BMS) to optimize charging, discharging, state-of-charge (SOC), state-of-health (SOH), contactor control, cell balancing and thermal management.
• Conduct performance testing and validation of battery functions under various operating conditions on both pack level and vehicle level.
• Analyze data, identify trends, and provide solutions to improve battery efficiency, lifespan, and safety.

Battery System Integration:

• Ensure seamless communication and functionality between the BMS, EVCU, charging systems, and other vehicle systems during all Network Management events.
• Support the integration of the battery system within the vehicle powertrains or other energy systems to meet performance specifications.
• Troubleshoot and resolve integration issues related to communication protocols, data logging, and performance anomalies.

Battery Performance Testing:

• Design, conduct and support tests to assess the performance, and efficiency of high voltage battery systems.
• Work with data acquisition systems and simulation tools to monitor battery behavior during real-world driving or load conditions.
• Validate the battery systems for safety standards and regulatory compliance.

Optimization and Continuous Improvement:

• Analyze test data to propose design improvements for battery systems, contributing to increased performance, safety, and durability.
• Identify opportunities for improving battery calibration procedures, processes, and tools to increase efficiency and accuracy.

Collaboration and Cross-Functional Support:

• Collaborate with the R&D, manufacturing, and quality assurance teams to troubleshoot battery-related issues and provide technical expertise.
• Support the creation of documentation, including test reports, calibration procedures, and integration guidelines.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field from an ABET accredited University. Advanced certifications in battery technologies or electrical systems are a plus.
• 3-5 years of hands-on battery system development, calibration, and integration, particularly in high voltage systems.
• Experience with battery management systems (BMS), energy storage systems (ESS), or electric vehicle (EV) battery systems.
• Knowledge of battery chemistries (Li-ion, solid-state, etc.) and battery pack design principles.
• Familiarity with battery test equipment and simulation tools (e.g., CAN, INCA/MDA, MATLAB, Simulink, LabVIEW, etc.).
• Strong understanding of high voltage electrical systems and battery design.
• Proficiency in calibration tools, diagnostic software, and troubleshooting techniques.
• Experience with software programming for battery management or integration (e.g., Python, C, or similar languages).
• Solid knowledge of safety protocols and regulatory requirements for high voltage systems.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work under pressure to meet deadlines.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team.

Preferred requirements:

• Familiarity with automotive, renewable energy, or grid-scale energy storage applications.
• Experience with embedded systems or firmware development related to battery systems.
• Understanding of machine learning or AI techniques in battery optimization and management.
