Role SummaryThe Staff Software Engineer, ES&D Low Voltage leads the design, implementation, and validation of embedded software for battery and energy management systems in next-generation electric vehicles, focusing on reliability, advanced feature development, and cross-functional collaboration. The role includes driving high-quality software architectures, technical reviews, and test-driven development for both low and high voltage systems, contributing to scalable, safety-critical solutions across hardware and software domains.
Responsibilities- Implement and validate embedded software for battery and energy management systems.
- Develop one or more of the following features for the low and high voltage systems: power and current distribution, DC/DC and operational state controls, fault detection and recovery, range estimation, battery thermal controls and management, and advanced battery state estimations (e.g. cell balancing, state-of-charge, state-of-health, state-of-power etc.)
- Lead technical meetings with peers and leadership to review feature design and performance.
- Lead code reviews and provide technical feedback to drive traceable and high-quality solutions.
- Guide teams with their test plans to achieve design & validation goals.
- Design scalable software architectures with a focus on the embedded system reliability and performance.
- Write automated tests for the software components, using unit, Software/Hardware-in-the-Loop (SIL/HIL).
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (i.e. hardware, systems, functional safety, and vehicle integration) to ensure safety, reliability, and standards compliance across low voltage and high voltage systems.
Qualifications- Bachelors in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent engineering or sciences.
- 6+ years' experience in embedded programming in C or C++
- Proficient in test driven development with developer driven coverage from different test targets (HIL/SIL/Unit).
- 4+ years' experience developing code for low or high voltage components in an integrated system.
- 4+ years' experience designing or developing BMS algorithms or equivalent.
- Experience troubleshooting complex field issues with developer driven field data analytics.
- Experience working with advanced 32-bit multi-core microcontrollers.
- Experience working with CAN, LIN, UDS, DoIP communication interfaces.
- Experience working in a Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) environment.
- Strong interpersonal skills.
