- Implement startup, precharge, cell bypass, and output reconfiguration from 800 V to 1,500 V.
- Connect cell controllers to block masters and site control systems across isolation barriers, including operator-facing telemetry.
- Validate firmware on hardware-in-the-loop rigs before deployment to high-voltage prototypes.
Requirements
- Experience writing control firmware for full-power converters and debugging it on the bench with an oscilloscope.
- Experience controlling resonant or dual active bridge converters or balanced series-connected cells.
- Experience implementing microsecond-scale, fail-safe protection logic in an FPGA or DSP.
- Experience using hardware-in-the-loop or model-based design to identify firmware bugs before hardware deployment.
- Experience maintaining firmware in version control with reviews and automated tests and demonstrating the release history of shipped software.
- Preferred experience includes TI C2000, Xilinx or Intel FPGAs, MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, Typhoon HIL, OPAL-RT, CAN, EtherCAT, fiber links, IEC 61508, and MISRA C.
