o Create detailed design specifications, verification plans, and test cases to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the system.

4. Simulation and Testing:

o Conduct simulations to validate control algorithms and system models, ensuring optimal performance and safety.

o Perform hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing to validate the behavior of BMS and VCU in various scenarios.

o Collaborate with the testing team to ensure that models are tested in real-world conditions.

5. Optimization and Calibration:

o Optimize control algorithms for performance, energy efficiency, and fault tolerance in both BMS and VCU applications.

o Perform calibration and tuning of the models to match real-world performance requirements.

6. Continuous Improvement:

o Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in model-based design, control algorithms, and automotive systems.

o Suggest improvements for system design, modeling, and simulation techniques.

o Actively participate in design reviews, code reviews, and safety assessments.

7. Documentation and Reporting:

o Document the design, implementation, and testing processes for BMS and VCU models.

o Provide regular updates to management and stakeholders on progress, challenges, and results.
