Job Overview
We are looking for a skilled and dynamic Model-Based Development (MBD) Engineer to join our
team, specializing in the development of Battery Management System (BMS) and Vehicle Control
Unit (VCU) applications. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and
validating model-based control algorithms for BMS and VCU. Your expertise in control systems,
embedded software, and automotive electronics will be crucial in ensuring the reliable and
efficient operation of battery management and vehicle control systems.
Key Responsibilities
1. Model-Based Development (MBD) for BMS & VCU Applications:
o Develop and implement model-based control algorithms for Battery
Management Systems (BMS) and Vehicle Control Units (VCU).
o Design and simulate control algorithms in MATLAB/Simulink/Stateflow.
o Develop and refine system-level models for battery management, state-of-charge
(SOC) estimation, thermal management, fault detection, and vehicle control.
2. System Design and Integration:
o Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, software, testing) to design
and integrate BMS and VCU applications.
o Support integration of control algorithms into embedded software systems for
real-time execution.
o Work on model-based software design, ensuring robustness and efficiency in
embedded systems.
3. Requirements Analysis and Documentation:
o Analyze functional and non-functional requirements for BMS and VCU systems.
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.
