Firmware Engineer - Charging Station and BMS

What you will do:

Fast charging a battery pack requires the charger and the battery to communicate with each other perfectly and work in sync. This is achieved when 3 things come together:

Great battery pack design

Reliable accurate hardware

Innovative efficient firmware and algorithms (battery and charging algorithms)

Software and hardware are critical to the efficient working of a well-designed battery pack. At Exponent, we take our software very seriously, and to complement it, we build our own hardware to the highest standards fully in-house.

As a firmware engineer at Exponent you will work closely with hardware (it s like a dance you need both partners to be in sync with each other), understand baseline capabilities, and boost it 10X.

Responsibilities:

Define architecture.

Develop Algorithms.

Take code to production.

Experience in building charging + Battery (BMS) Algorithms.

Work closely with the hardware team, drive necessary hardware changes.

The ideal candidate requires:

Experience in taking firmware Design from concept to production

Good understanding of Microcontrollers and Microprocessors - GPIO s, ADC, etc

Hand-on Experience in C and C++ programming

Expertise in developing communication protocols. Relevant protocols being I2C, Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), USB, General-purpose input/output (GPIOs), Controller Area Network (CAN bus)

Experience with Model-based development is an added advantage

Hands-on experience in working with hardware products

Should have experience in working and setting up HIL and SIL Test rigs

We are looking for builders with a certain mindset: Build. Fail. Learn. Repeat.

What matters less:

Years of experience

Formal qualification

What matters more:

Quality of work

Approach towards problem-solving

Dissatisfaction towards mediocre work

Resilient attitude to bounce back after failing
