Senior Firmware Engineer

What you will do

• Fast charging a battery pack requires the charger and the battery to communicate with each other perfectly and work in sync. This is achieved when 3 things come together:
• Great battery pack design
• Reliable & accurate hardware
• Innovative & efficient firmware and algorithms (battery and charging algorithms)
• Software and hardware are critical to the efficient working of a well-designed battery pack. At Exponent, we take our software very seriously, and to complement it, we build our own hardware to the highest standards – fully in-house.
• As a senior Firmware Engineer, you will be building the safe, reliable, and modular FW tech stack responsible for charging thousands of vehicles within 15 minutes.
• You will work closely with hardware (it’s like a dance – you need both partners to be in sync with each other), utilizing data to build Algos to boost the Battery and Charger performance

Responsibilities

• Define FW architecture - select HW, device optimal HAL layers, enable features (OTA, UDS, et al), and define FW blocks
• Develop Algorithms - design application layer with state machines and algorithms to process data and compute critical parameters like Sox
• Take code to production - Design, development, validation, and deployment in the field; debugging and diagnostic SOPs, service manual
• Reliability - Understanding and implementation of safety and reliability of firmware, FMEA, and Code and Risk reviews
