100d • $191,000 - $253,000

About The Position

Anduril is seeking a Firmware Engineer to join our team based in Costa Mesa, CA. The firmware team at Anduril develops core technology used across multiple products such as Menace, Dive-XL, Ghost, and Roadrunner. We work in close coordination with battery team to develop hardware and software solutions to some of the hardest problems facing our customers. You'll contribute low level firmware development for systems operating on land, sea, and air.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering or Computer Science
• Demonstrated deployment of robust Battery Management System software or firmware to a multi-cell battery module or pack
• Experience in BMS HW/SW validation methods- including software-in-the-loop (SIL/SITL), model-in-the-loop (MIL/MITL), and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL/HITL) testing
• Good C coding ability for embedded systems
• Experience integrating microcontrollers with analog and digital sensors
• Experience developing firmware in bare-metal or RTOS environments
• Experience in cell equivalent circuit model (ECM) development and deployment to battery management systems
• Experience in battery characterization methods: mission profile validation, equivalent-circuit model characterization, cycle/calendar life assessment, safety features, etc.
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities

Nice To Haves

• Graduate Degree in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering or Computer Science with applied focus on battery management systems
• Familiarity with common electrochemical energy storage materials, technologies, and boundaries of operation
• Demonstrated experience in battery testing, modelling, controls, and module/pack integration/operation
• Debugging skills with JTAG, SWD, Oscilloscopes, and Logic analyzers
• Experience with Simulink model development and auto code generation

Responsibilities

• Architect and develop robust battery management system (BMS) algorithms, to be applied across different programs and product lines across Anduril
• Develop algorithms for battery state handling, enable/disable switch control, cell balancing, state-of-charge (SOC) estimation, state-of-health (SOH), state-of-power (SOP) power limits, communications/drivers, fault handling, isolation monitoring, high-voltage interlock loop (HVIL), etc.
• Collaborate with battery systems engineers to translate battery system-level requirements to actionable software/validation requirements
• Collaborate with battery test engineers and systems engineers to characterize battery cell equivalent circuit models and deploy them to BMS SW algorithms
• Rapidly develop and validate BMS algorithms in Simulink using test harnesses
• Leverage automated software regression testing to improve long-term efficiency of software-in-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-loop (HIL) testing
• Leverage Simulink-to-C auto code generation to rapidly transition from functional algorithms to complied artifacts for deployment and integrate the generated artifacts into the existing firmware codebase.

Benefits

• Platinum Healthcare Benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans at little to no cost to you.
• Private Medical Insurance (PMI) for UK roles, fully covered for employee and dependents.
• Private health plan through Bupa for AUS roles, fully subsidized by Anduril.
