Engineer – BMS Software Quality and Test

Job Summary

You will be part of a high-impact team, responsible for validating and verifying ONE Battery Management System (BMS) embedded software, to meet product and customer needs for functionality, performance, safety, security, and regulatory compliance. The BMS Software Engineer will work closely with various stakeholders including Systems and Controls engineering to ensure embedded controls designs and implementation meet product intent and customer application expectations. This role requires high competency in both control system engineering as well as BMS domain knowledge and capability in order to effectively test the ONE BMS software.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Work cross-functionally with systems, controls, and development teams in order to define test cases that can be used to assess functionality, reliability, and robustness of BMS software.

• Apply structured test methodology to create automated test suites in a Hardware-In-Loop and virtualized environments to verify and validate software design and implementation, in terms of functional behavior, performance, robustness, safety, compliance, and security

• Create and update plant models for use in dSPACE Hardware-In-Loop and virtualized environments used to connect prototype and production hardware to a simulated battery and facilitate testing of our BMS.

• Implement DevOps and Continuous Integration strategies to improve the quality of delivered software

• Perform all engineering tasks in defined lifecycle processes, methods, and practices, captured and managed in a system, building traceability between engineering phases and artifacts to ensure quality and compliance to ASPICE maturity and ISO26262 Functional Safety standards

• Establish and maintain comprehensive documentation of software testing and implementation

• Collaborate with other internal stakeholders and customers to put ONE BMS strategies into operation

• As part of development activities, root-cause and solve issues that arise, and help drive continuous refinement

• Build technical subject matter expertise in BMS topics, actively participate in and contribute to technical reviews

• Participate in customer engagement, promotional, and sales activities

• This position will work as part of an agile engineering team, applying agile development methods and practices in a “DevOps” culture oriented to continuous delivery of value, continuous improvement, and speed of delivery
