Systems Engineer – Automotive EV Systems

About the role

Design and integrate electric vehicle system architectures and control algorithms for BrightEV, defining requirements and ensuring safe, reliable performance.

Key responsibilities

• Define and document system architecture, functional decomposition, interface specifications, and requirements mapping across system, software, and hardware levels.
• Develop and maintain system and subsystem requirements derived from vehicle performance targets and customer needs.
• Participate in technical design reviews and architecture discussions, providing systems engineering expertise.
• Develop, implement, and tune control algorithms for automotive applications, applying feedback control, state estimation, and Kalman filtering.
• Build, maintain, and validate system and control models using MATLAB/Simulink, including estimation algorithms for real‑time embedded applications.
• Identify and characterize dynamic systems using MATLAB’s system identification toolbox.
• Design and integrate low‑voltage and high‑voltage Battery Management System functions, including monitoring, protection, balancing, and diagnostics.
• Analyze and manage battery fault conditions, operational limits, and state transitions.
• Define and apply control and protection concepts for power electronics and motor control functions such as inverters, converters, and charging systems.
• Integrate and configure system interfaces across powertrain, thermal management, and communication networks.
• Define and execute system‑level verification and validation activities in SIL, HIL, and bench test environments.
• Analyze test results, identify root causes, and drive resolution through systematic debugging and cross‑functional collaboration.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related field (Master’s a plus).
