- Generating functional and concise Simulink models (generally requiring matrix and vector operations) based on a description of desired battery management system (BMS) algorithm behavior.
- Develop a model-in-loop (MIL) testing environment to validate Simulink models over complete range of expected test cases considering simulated sensor/process noise.
- Integrate a BMS into a hardware-in-loop (HIL) testing environment with physical sensors and battery cell emulators to validate real system behavior.
- Define expected MIL/HIL results in quantitative way and compare criteria to observed behavior to determine pass/fail results.
- Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve failing MIL/HIL test results.
- Identify and propose areas for improvement in the BMS software or hardware.
- Develop Realtime software development for electric machine controls; Develop strategies to control power distribution of a hybrid power unit and understanding the optimization of the energy storage system.
- Basic understanding of lithium-ion battery behavior and properties (ex. SOC and voltage response to temperature and current), equivalent-circuit models, and BMS algorithms.
- Basic understanding of state-space models and their relevance to Kalman filters.
- Experience with MIL or HIL testing of a BMS or other embedded processor (ex. Engine control unit).
- Some energy storage system operational limitation and optimization and electric machine operation and optimization for different usage profiles experience preferred.
