About the role
- As we move toward a fully Software‑Defined Vehicle (SDV) architecture, core battery software capabilities such as Battery State Estimation have become foundational to safety, performance, and customer trust.
- We are currently seeking experienced and highly motivated candidates for the role of Senior Software Engineer - Battery State Estimation.
- The position requires deep technical ownership across algorithm development, embedded software implementation, and system‑level validation in virtual and physical environments.
Responsibilities
- Develop observers and filters (e.g., equivalent‑circuit and electrochemical‑informed models, Kalman‑filter‑based approaches) that remain accurate across temperature extremes, power transients, sensor noise, and battery aging.
- Implement estimation algorithms as production‑quality embedded software in C/C++, meeting GM standards for safety, cybersecurity, and coding discipline, including MISRA compliance.
- Develop automated regression, robustness, and fault‑injection test suites integrated into CI pipelines to enforce built‑in quality throughout development.
- Collaborate cross‑functionally with Cell and Pack Engineering, Systems & Functional Safety, Validation, Calibration, Vehicle Performance, SDV Platform and Research & Development teams.
- Own deliverables end‑to‑end and continuously improving technical rigor, development efficiency, and software quality.
- We strongly believe that providing an inclusive workplace creates an environment in which our employees can thrive and develop better products for our customers.
- We believe we all must make a choice every day - individually and collectively - to drive meaningful change through our words, our deeds and our culture.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical, or Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
- Minimum 5 years of experience delivering embedded software for high‑voltage battery systems or similar complex engineering systems.
- Strong proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems development.
- Demonstrated hands‑on production experience with SOC, SOH, and/or SOP estimation algorithms deployed in vehicles.
- Strong proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink and Python, with hands-on experience in modeling, analysis, automation, and Model-Based Development (MBD) workflows.
- Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments and cross‑functional automotive programs.
- Proven ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, fast‑paced SDV development contexts with strong technical ownership and accountability.
- Proven experience leveraging Battery Data to generate actionable insights that improve battery performance, reliability, and lifecycle characteristics.
- Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):
- Applicants in the recruitment process may be required, where applicable, to successfully complete a role-related assessment(s) and/or a pre-employment screening prior to beginning employment.
Nice to have
- Master's or PhD degree in Engineering or Computer Science.
- 8+ years of experience delivering embedded software for high‑voltage battery systems or similar complex engineering systems.
- Hands‑on experience with battery cell characterization, pack testing, and lab‑based validation.
- Familiarity with lithium‑ion chemistries such as LFP and high‑nickel NMC/LMR and associated aging mechanisms.
- Experience with ETAS INCA, MDA, or similar calibration and measurement tools.
- Experience working within Software‑Defined Vehicle (SDV) architectures and CI/CD‑based software delivery pipelines.
