Role & responsibilities

We are seeking a skilled and motivated BMS System Engineer to join our engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for the system-level design, integration, validation, and optimization of Battery Management Systems (BMS) for various applications such as electric vehicles, energy storage, and industrial systems. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure the BMS meets performance, safety, and regulatory requirements.

Preferred candidate profile

What you will own and do:

- Lead the system-level design and architecture of BMS solutions, including requirements gathering, specification, and documentation.

- Integrate BMS hardware, firmware, and software components to deliver robust and reliable systems.

- Develop and maintain system requirements, interface definitions, and validation plans.

- Coordinate with hardware, software, and application engineering teams to ensure seamless integration and functionality.

- Perform system-level testing, validation, and troubleshooting to ensure compliance with safety and performance standards.

- Analyse system performance data and recommend improvements for efficiency, reliability, and safety.

- Support the development and implementation of functional safety concepts (e.g., ISO 26262, IEC 61508).

- Prepare and maintain technical documentation, including system architecture diagrams, test reports, and user manuals.

- Stay updated with the latest advancements in battery technology, BMS architectures, and industry standards.

- Provide technical support to customers and internal teams during system deployment and operation.

What you will bring to us:

- Bachelors or masters degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field.

- 2+ years of experience in system engineering, preferably with BMS or battery-powered systems.

- Strong understanding of battery technologies, BMS concepts, and system integration.

- Experience with system modelling, simulation, and validation tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS).

- Familiarity with communication protocols: CAN, UART, SPI, I2C.

- Knowledge of functional safety standards and practices.

- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills.

- Excellent communication and documentation abilities.

- Ability to work collaboratively in cross-functional teams.

Qualification:

- Experience with automotive or industrial BMS applications.

- Knowledge of battery chemistries (Li-ion, LFP, NMC, etc.) and cell balancing techniques.

- Experience with requirements management tools and version control systems.

- Exposure to cloud integration and IoT platforms for remote BMS monitoring.

- Familiarity with regulatory standards and certification processes.

Culture and other pointers

- You have an enthusiastic desire to grow and learn.

- If you've worked at a startup before, that's a plus.

- You like working in a high accountability, high responsibility environment.
