Description

The system group within the Battery Management System (BMS) organization is a critical and collaborative team that bridges the domain/knowledge gap between the application platform and the technology teams to define and deliver a BMS that enables the application to achieve world class control on energy and power throughout the entire product life-cycle. The system group team members will engage in: • Translating a deep comprehension of the application system's challenges, problems, and roadmap into the BMS domain that includes algorithm, firmware, and hardware • Driving the convergence of a BMS architecture among the different technology components stakeholders and synthesizing sub-system requirements and specifications • Synthesizing BMS roadmap, architecture, and system designs that are solutions to both identified and foreseeable application platform problems • Leading multi-functional teams to implement the roadmap and validating the BMS system before delivery to the application • Identifying the right problems to solve longer term R&D Within the BMS system group, the lead system engineer is responsible for the BMS within an application platform. The system engineer will simultaneously lead the development and integration on the next generation product, define the roadmap for following product, and innovate the architecture of future products. The lead system engineer will be work closely with system technology engineers and domain technology teams within the BMS organization.

Education & Experience

BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience MS or PhD desired in Physics or Electrical Engineering

Additional Requirements

• Strong proficiency towards detailed and rigorous work emphasizing on simple and elegant designs for mass production. Ability to translate customer problems/issues into BMS system design.
