What is a battery management system?

A Battery Management System (BMS) job involves designing, developing, and maintaining systems that monitor and control rechargeable batteries, ensuring their safety, efficiency, and longevity. Professionals in this role work on hardware and software solutions for battery protection, state-of-charge estimation, thermal management, and fault detection. They may collaborate with engineers in automotive, energy storage, and renewable energy sectors to optimize battery performance. The job requires expertise in electronics, embedded systems, and data analysis to improve battery reliability and efficiency.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in a battery management system role?

To thrive as a Battery Management System (BMS) Engineer, you need expertise in electrical engineering, embedded systems, and battery technologies, often supported by a bachelor's or master's degree in a relevant field. Experience with simulation tools like MATLAB/Simulink, knowledge of industry standards (such as ISO 26262), and familiarity with diagnostic software are highly valued. Strong analytical thinking, teamwork, and clear communication skills help address complex problems and collaborate across multidisciplinary teams. These competencies are essential to ensure safe, efficient, and innovative battery solutions within automotive and energy storage industries.

What are some common challenges faced by battery management system engineers in their daily work?

Battery Management System Engineers often encounter challenges such as balancing the trade-off between battery performance and safety, integrating BMS software and hardware with rapidly evolving technologies, and ensuring compliance with stringent industry standards. They must regularly troubleshoot unexpected battery behaviors, manage data from testing, and continuously optimize control algorithms to extend battery life. Collaboration with hardware, software, and testing teams is key, and staying current on battery technology advancements is essential for success in this dynamic field. These factors make the role both rewarding and intellectually stimulating for those interested in problem-solving and innovation.

Job description

Description
Enphase Energy is a global energy technology company and a leading provider of solar, battery, and electric vehicle charging products. Founded in 2006, our innovative microinverter technology revolutionized solar power, making it a safer, more reliable, and scalable energy source. Today, the Enphase Energy System enables users to make, use, save, and sell their own power. Enphase is also one of the most successful and innovative clean energy companies in the world, with more than 80 million products shipped across 160 countries.
Join our dynamic teams designing and developing next-gen energy technologies and help drive a sustainable future!
About the role
This position leads the combined embedded firmware and electrical hardware team within our core Engineering R&D group in Austin, focused on Commercial and Industrial energy storage. Our scope spans IQ Vault-class C&I storage cabinets through to MW/MWh-scale inverter and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) serving data centers, across both outdoor cabinet and containerized platforms.
You will manage and grow a team of four to six embedded firmware and electrical hardware engineers while remaining hands-on yourself - this is a player-coach role. You are accountable for the firmware and hardware scope of our storage platforms from concept through production launch and field performance, and for the technical judgement that keeps those two disciplines moving as one team rather than two.
This is a rare combined-scope role. We are looking for a leader with genuine depth in either embedded firmware or electrical hardware, and the credibility and curiosity to lead engineers in the other.
What you will do
Lead the team
  • Manage, coach, and grow a team of 4-6 embedded firmware and electrical hardware engineers, owning hiring, performance management, and career development.
  • Set technical direction across both disciplines, own architecture and design review quality, and hold the bar on documentation and engineering rigor.
  • Plan and commit to schedules, staffing, and deliverables across concurrent programs, and communicate status and risk clearly to engineering and program leadership.
  • Partner closely with power electronics, thermal, mechanical, systems, SDVT, compliance, manufacturing, and program management teams - locally and across our global R&D sites.
  • Represent the Austin site in a distributed organization, and build the local engineering culture as the team scales.

Stay hands-on
  • Contribute directly on critical-path work - architecture definition, board and system bring-up, and escalation debug.
  • Review firmware architecture and hardware schematics, and make the call on design trade-offs spanning both domains.
  • Drive root-cause analysis on production and field escalations, and close the loop into design and process improvements.
  • Own execution against safety and compliance requirements (UL and IEC) for BESS and grid-interactive products.
  • Drive BOM cost, design for manufacturability, reliability, and serviceability targets from concept through deployment.
Who you are and what you bring
  • B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
  • 10+ years of relevant industry experience in embedded firmware and/or electrical hardware development, including 2+ years leading engineers as a people manager or technical lead.
  • Deep expertise in at least one of the two domains below, with credible working knowledge of the other:
    • Embedded firmware - C for real-time applications; bare metal and RTOS; ARM Cortex-M4/M7, STM32 or similar architectures; sensor drivers, closed-loop control, and bootloader design; Python for test and workflow automation.
    • Electrical hardware - Circuit schematics and multi-layer PCB design; power supplies, mixed-signal and sensor circuits; EMI mitigation; worst-case and tolerance analysis, DPPM, DFMEA/AFMEA.
  • Demonstrated track record taking products from concept through production launch at scale, including ownership of field and customer issues.
  • Working knowledge of relevant standards - UL 1741, IEC 62109, and UL 9540 / UL 9540A for energy storage systems.
  • Experience with requirements and lifecycle tooling: JAMA, Polarion or DOORS; Arena or Agile PLM for ECO/ECR and BOM management; Atlassian (Confluence, JIRA) and GitHub.
  • Strong troubleshooting instinct across complex systems, and comfort with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, power meters, and grid simulators.
  • Clear written and verbal communication, and the judgement to know when to decide, when to escalate, and when to let an engineer run.
What will make you stand out
  • Hands-on depth in both firmware and hardware, rather than one plus exposure to the other.
  • Experience with MW/MWh-scale BESS or utility inverters, particularly for data center applications.
  • Battery Management System (BMS) design or integration experience.
  • Zephyr RTOS experience.
  • Controls development for cooling systems - fans, pumps, chillers, liquid cooling and heat exchangers.
  • Knowledge of worldwide advanced grid functions and fault conditions.
  • Simulation experience with LTspice, MATLAB/Simulink, or PLECS.
  • Field quality improvement and cost reduction through Value Analysis / Value Engineering (VAVE).
  • Experience scaling and building an engineering team at a site.
Work location
This role requires being on-site at our Austin, Texas office five days per week.
Compensation
The base pay range for this position is $130,000 to $183,000 per year. This salary range may be modified in the future. The successful candidate's starting pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, education or training, work location, and market conditions. This position is also eligible for bonus, equity, and benefits.
