BMS Controls Engineer

Job Description

BMS Controls Engineer / 50K - 75K DOE / Oxford / Onsite

Were partnered with a leading energy-systems division to recruit a BMS Controls Engineer. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on model-based design and embedded control algorithm development for battery energy storage and related stationary/power applications.

The Role
Youll develop and deploy embedded control algorithms for Battery Management Systems (BMS) used across energy storage and battery-powered systems. This sits at the intersection of control systems embedded software and battery technology ideal for engineers who enjoy end-to-end delivery from models to deployed code.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop control models for embedded targets: SoC/SoH/SoP/SoE estimation thermal management cell balancing voltage/current limits protection & diagnostics
• Design simulate and validate models using MATLAB/Simulink & Stateflow
• Generate production embedded C code via Simulink Coder / Embedded Coder and deploy to microcontrollers (Infineon XMC TI C2000 STM32 NXP)
• Support MIL SIL and HIL validation workflows
• Integrate control logic with system hardware and firmware teams
• Ensure requirements traceability (ISO 26262 / ASPICE experience beneficial)
• Debug analyse and optimise real-time control performance
• Maintain model/version control using Git or similar tools

Requirements

• . or higher in Electrical Engineering Mechatronics Control Systems or similar
• 5 years experience with MATLAB/Simulink for control development
• Hands-on experience with Simulink auto-code generation (Embedded Coder / Simulink Coder)
• Strong understanding of battery systems and state estimation techniques
• HIL experience (dSPACE Typhoon HIL or equivalent)
• Working knowledge of CAN and Vector tooling (CANalyzer CANape CANoe)
• Solid control theory signal processing and embedded systems background
• Comfortable in a fast-paced product development environment
• Strong communication problem solving and organisational skills

Desirable

• UDS diagnostics & battery communication protocols
• Safety-critical software exposure (ISO 26262 IEC 61508)
• Scripting for test automation (Python MATLAB)
• Familiarity with Git JIRA Jenkins or DevOps tooling
• Basic C/C or embedded firmware experience
