Algorithm Developer

Job Description

We are seeking a skilled Algorithm Developer to join our dynamic team focused on Battery Management Systems (BMS) and advanced control algorithms. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of brand-new control algorithms for managing battery state of charge, voltage, and temperature in embedded systems. You will work closely with a small, collaborative team to develop, implement, and test control algorithms using Simulink, with a strong emphasis on real-time embedded deployment. The role involves completing partially developed algorithms and ensuring they are fully functional on hardware by the end of the year.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop control algorithms for BMS and other controlled items using Simulink.
• Implement algorithms on embedded hardware and validate through testing.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure system integration and performance.
• Contribute to simulation and modeling efforts for control systems.
• Support milestone delivery in a fast-paced, constraint-driven environment.

Essential Skills

• Algorithm development.
• Control algorithm design.
• Proficiency with Simulink.
• Model-based design.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Master’s or PhD in Mechanical, Electrical, or Aerospace Engineering (or related).
• 3+ years of experience in algorithm development (PhD research can be included).
• Experience developing algorithms for control systems, modeling/simulation, and embedded systems.
• Experience with BMS or similar systems is highly desirable.

Work Environment

This position offers a hybrid work environment, requiring 3 days a week on-site at the R&D Center in Herndon. You will work alongside another Algorithm Developer.
