Responsibilities

Decompose and document architectures, state machines, and requirements for grid-scale battery energy storage systems from grid commands through battery-cell firmware.
Facilitate cross-functional design and implementation of distributed, fault-tolerant, safety-critical systems across controls, electronics, power systems, and software engineering.
Convert model-based systems engineering artifacts, functional-safety hardware-software interfaces, and interface-control documents into version-controlled data schemas.
Translate security specifications and functional-safety hazard models into verifiable execution contracts and deterministic rules.
Investigate and resolve system ambiguity through hands-on code analysis and cross-functional technical collaboration.

Preferred: experience reading bare-metal C code and performing diagnostic debugging with Wireshark, embedded debuggers, CAN, SPI, Ethernet, or Embedded Linux/MPUs.
Preferred: ability to decompose programmable-component safety requirements into software safety assertions and experience with formal specification tools such as TLA+.
