  • Develop Basic Software (BSW) modules to manage complex I/O functionality for a subset of BMS functions such as cell monitoring, contactor management, and other interfacing/interaction needs
  • Create BSW configurations for supporting product and customer needs
  • Apply structured test methodology in a variety of environments to verify and validate software design and implementation, in terms of functional behavior, performance, robustness, safety, compliance, and security
  • Perform all engineering tasks in defined lifecycle processes, methods, and practices, captured and managed in a system, building traceability between engineering phases and artifacts to ensure quality and compliance to ISO26262 and/or ISO60730 Functional Safety standards
  • Establish and maintain comprehensive documentation of software implementation
  • Collaborate with other internal stakeholders and customers to put ONE BMS strategies into operation
  • As part of development activities, root-cause and solve issues that arise, and help drive continuous refinement
  • Build technical subject matter expertise in BMS topics, actively participate in and contribute to technical reviews
  • Participate in customer engagement, promotional, and sales activities
