• Optimize control strategies for existing battery types, and adapt control strategies for new battery types and new applications for automotive and adjacent markets use purpose
• Adapt customer specific requirements including function safety requirements
• Evaluate advanced systems modeling concepts and create novel strategies and algorithms leveraging external and internal collaborations
• Develop IP strategy and support external communication of battery control strategies

Advanced Battery Control Algorithm Implementation

• Reduce the complexity of the algorithms to cope with limited system resources
• Work with a cross functional engineering team to develop comprehensive test plans to validate algorithms and control strategies.
• Quantify the control algorithm improvements using statistical data analysis as well as electrochemical and thermal modeling.
• Perform root cause and failure analysis for control algorithm implementation issues
• Support design reviews and provide input to technical program reviews

Development and Maintenance of Systems Modeling Framework

• Evaluate and determine systems modeling and simulation framework and tool chains to develop efficient control algorithms, aging models, and advanced diagnostics
• Lead the analysis of system level test data for advanced BMS algorithm validation
• Decompose system requirements to multiple functional and component requirements.
• Manage system modeling documentation and process to ensure a sensible archive of development information while ensure an agile advanced algorithm development and implementation

What we look for

• Master's Degree or PhD in a quantitative discipline; including Controls, Mathematics (Statistics), Electro-Chemical Engineering, Physics
• Previous experience (*graduate or undergraduate) in both science/engineering is preferred
• Minimum of 4-5 years (Master) or 3+ years (PhD) of experience in technical industry
• High level of experience in the optimization algorithms and numerical analysis
