• Ensure compliance with AUTOSAR and automotive industry standards in software modules and architecture.
• Requirements Engineering:
• Gather, analyze and document software and system-level requirements related to battery management.
• Collaborate with system engineers to define software interfaces and interactions between BMS, charging systems, vehicle control units and other electronic control units (ECUs).
• Software Development and Testing:
• Lead and participate in the software development life cycle, from design and coding to integration and testing.
• Implement and validate BMS software components using model-based design and auto-coding techniques (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink).
• Define unit tests, integration tests and system-level validation for software components.
• Collaboration and Communication:
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including hardware, mechanical and safety teams to ensure alignment between hardware and software design.
• Interface with external stakeholders, including suppliers and OEMs, to align software architecture with customer and market requirements.
• Continuous Improvement:
• Stay updated with the latest AUTOSAR standards and automotive software trends.
• Lead or contribute to process improvements in software development, testing and integration.

Qualifications:
