Responsibilities

Architect and develop robust battery management system (BMS) algorithms, to be applied across different programs and product lines across Anduril

Algorithms to include battery state handling, enable/disable switch (ie. contactor or FET) control, cell balancing, state-of-charge (SOC) estimation, state-of-health (SOH), state-of-power (SOP) power limits, communications/drivers, fault handling, isolation monitoring, high-voltage interlock loop (HVIL), etc

Collaborate with battery systems engineers to translate battery system-level requirements to actionable software/validation requirements

Collaborate with battery test engineers and systems engineers to characterize battery cell equivalent circuit models and deploy them to BMS SW algorithms

Rapidly develop and validate BMS algorithms in Simulink using test harnesses (leveraging battery model simulations and/or logged battery cell/pack data)

Leverage automated software regression testing to improve long-term efficiency of software-in-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-loop (HIL) testing

Leverage Simulink-to-C auto code generation to rapidly transition from functional algorithms to complied artifacts for deployment and integrate the generated artifacts into the existing firmware codebase
