BMS Design Release Engineer

ABOUT SLATE

At Slate were building safe reliable vehicles that people can afford personalize and loveand doing it here in the USA as part of our commitment to reindustrialization. The spirit of DIY and customization runs throughout every element of a Slate because people should have control over how their trucks look feel and represent them.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Engineer capable of owning BMS design and integration from concept through vehicle validation with strong linkage to vehicle-level performance and behavior

• Strong background in EV propulsion systems HV battery systems and system-level controls including SOC estimation torque/power coordination and thermal interaction

• Experience bridging system requirements control strategies and in-vehicle behavior using simulation testing and data analysis

• Familiarity with BMS functionality control logic diagnostics and integration within vehicle control architecture

• Strong experience with model-based development (Simulink/MATLAB) HIL/MIL validation and in-vehicle testing

• Comfortable working with CAN communication diagnostics (UDS/CCP) and data analysis tools (CANoe CANalyzer INCA CAPL Python)

• Proven ability to lead cross-functional issue resolution across software controls system and vehicle integration teams

• Experience working within structured development processes (ASPICE requirements management tools such as Polarion/JIRA)

• Hands-on systems-oriented engineer with strong debugging validation and root cause analysis capability

WHAT YOU GET TO DO

• Lead coordination with suppliers and internal development teams for BMS hardware and software development

• Own BMS design release responsibilities with strong focus on system integration control behavior and vehicle-level performance

• Define manage and align BMS functional and system requirements to meet vehicle propulsion range and thermal performance targets

• Collaborate with internal teams and suppliers to develop and integrate BMS control strategies diagnostics and system interfaces

• Drive system-level integration of BMS with propulsion thermal and vehicle control systems

• Support development and refinement of BMS-related algorithms including SOC estimation power limits and thermal control strategies

• Lead issue investigation and resolution across component pack and vehicle levels using simulation HIL and vehicle data

• Develop and execute validation strategies including MIL/HIL testing in-vehicle validation and diagnostic verification

• Analyze vehicle and battery data to evaluate system performance identify gaps and drive corrective actions

• Manage change control requirements updates and release documentation in alignment with program milestones

• Support vehicle testing activities including range thermal and drivability validation to ensure BMS performance meets targets

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TEAM

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Computer or related engineering field

• 6 years of experience in EV powertrain vehicle controls or battery system development

• Strong experience in model-based development control strategy development and system validation (MIL/HIL/vehicle)

• Familiarity with HV battery systems and BMS-related functions such as SOC estimation diagnostics and thermal interaction

• Experience with CAN communication diagnostics and data analysis tools (CANoe CANalyzer INCA CAPL Python)

• Experience supporting vehicle integration propulsion performance and system-level validation activities

• Strong understanding of requirements development tracking and issue management (Polarion and ASPICE processes)

• Ability to lead cross-functional technical discussions and drive issue resolution across software hardware and vehicle teams

• Experience with simulation vehicle modeling and performance analysis (range efficiency thermal behavior)

• Strong problem-solving mindset with ability to move seamlessly between simulation software and in-vehicle validation
