Job Summary

We are seeking a skilled Controls Engineer to join our team. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining control systems and equipment for industrial automation projects. They will work closely with project managers, mechanical engineers, and electrical engineers to ensure that control systems are integrated effectively into overall project plans. This position requires a strong understanding of control theory and the ability to program, test, and troubleshoot control systems. 

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

  • Design and Development: Design and develop control algorithms, software, and hardware components for battery management systems to ensure the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of batteries throughout their lifecycle. This involves collaborating with cross-functional teams, including systems engineering, hardware engineers, software developers, and test engineers.
  • Control Algorithm Development: Develop advanced control algorithms for state-of-the-art battery management systems, including state estimation, state-of-charge (SOC) estimation, state-of-health (SOH) estimation, thermal management, voltage balancing, and fault detection and diagnosis.
  • System Integration: Integrate control algorithms and software modules into embedded systems and hardware platforms, such as microcontrollers, ensuring robust communication and interoperability with other vehicle or system components.
  • Performance Optimization: Optimize battery management control algorithms and strategies to enhance battery performance, lifespan, energy efficiency, and safety while minimizing cost and complexity. Conduct simulations, modeling, and analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of control algorithms under various operating conditions and use cases.
  • Validation and Testing: Develop test plans and procedures to validate the functionality, reliability, and safety of battery management control systems through simulation, bench testing, and real-world testing. Analyze test results, identify issues or areas for improvement, and iterate on control algorithms and software implementations accordingly.
  • Documentation and Reporting: Prepare technical documentation, specifications, design documents, and reports related to battery management control system development, validation, and implementation. Communicate project status, milestones, and technical challenges to stakeholders, project managers, and senior leadership.

Qualifications and/or Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Engineering discipline plus one year industry experience in controls/embedded/automotive domain.
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as C/C++, MATLAB/Simulink, Python, and embedded software development.
  • Experience with control systems theory, including PID control, state-space modeling, optimization techniques, data driven modeling using AI/ML principles.
  • Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation, model-based design, and rapid prototyping tools (e.g., dSPACE).
  • Working knowledge of CAN and LIN based tools such as CANalyzer, CANoe, CANape, neoVI.
  • Experience with debugging software using tools like Lauterbach/ETAS INCA
  • Excellent problem-solving skills, analytical thinking, and attention to detail.
  • Effective communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team environment.
  • Prior experience in battery management controls, electric vehicle systems, power electronics, or related fields is highly desirable.
  • Knowledge of industry standards and regulations governing battery management and automotive electronics (e.g., ISO 26262, IEC 61508, SAE J1772) is a plus.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and deliver results within tight deadlines.

Voluntary Self-Identification

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Our Next Energy (ONE)’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
