Position description:

Our Advanced Battery Technology (ABT) department is creating a strong foundation of skills and we are therefore looking for a ‘Battery Algorithm Engineer’ who will be part of the ABT organization and responding to the Manager SW-ABT, with strong responsibility in designing algorithms for advanced battery management system (BMS) from ideation to reality. The main role will be algorithm development for new lithium-ion cell chemistries, new advanced algorithms for battery state estimation, robust and hardware/code-optimized.

Vast knowledge about best engineering practices related to automotive battery systems and its BMS is a high priority.



Description/Role:

- Determine battery model parameters for new cell chemistries
- Development of on-line adaptive estimators (e.g. Kalman filter, Recursive Least Squares (RLS) etc) for battery state- and parameter estimation
- Battery modeling, implementation and validation of the battery models with Rapid Control Prototyping and on current BMS Hardware
- Run hardware-in-the-Loop with Battery Simulator
- Deriving requirements and demands for new BMS hardware and software
- Design and implementation of hardware-related functions for a component of the battery system

- Develop model-based battery monitoring software/algorithms

- Expert in the area of Battery Management System (BMS) and professional support of team members

- Develop interfaces among various blocks/components of the battery management system
- Development of software testing strategy, prototyping and performance measurements
- Design and realization of functions of the "functional safety"
- Conducting reviews towards requirements analysis, functional and software design

Skills and required experience:

Qualifications/Requirements:

- Minimum education of a Master of Science in Mechatronics-, Electrical-, or Computer Engineering. Having solid educational background in

systems and control is preferable. In particular, a candidate should be familiar with linear and nonlinear system theory, estimation theory,

signal processing, and system identification techniques.

- Must have at least 3-5 years of development experience of battery management systems for automotive applications. In particular, the

candidate must have hands on experience with implementation of model-based estimation of battery states and parameters using nonlinear

filtering methods like extended Kalman filter. At least three years’ work experience in a comparable role.

- Must have good understanding of internal battery dynamics including knowledge about mass transport, double-layer, and long-term ageing effects.

In particular, the candidate must know at least about ECM-based electro-thermal battery models. Basic knowledge of battery diagnosis using

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy is meritorious.

- Must have solid hands on experience in software development processes in general and real-time embedded C/C++ programming in particular

for automotive applications. Must have very good knowledge in ECU and embedded software architectures.

- Must have good overview of battery research literature and current state-of-art in battery estimation and control algorithms. Having research

background and publications related to battery management systems will be considered as a merit.

- Having experience with code verification and validation is meritorious.
- Excellent understanding of mechanical and electronic items of an automotive battery system
- Advanced understanding of firmware development with knowledge of microcontrollers as well as knowledge of SW architecture and standards like ASIL, AutoSAR
- Experience with Battery management software development, using C and tools like Matlab/Simulink, CANalyzer, CANoe, Stateflow and TargetLink.
- Experience in measurement and fault analysis using Vector CANape or equivalent
- Several years of experience in series development of software in the automotive sector as well as knowledge of ISO26262
- Automated code generation
- Hardware-in-the-Loop
- Very good English language skills, both spoken and written
- Driver license B
