Your Role:
Firmware development for Battery Management System ICs
As a firmware application engineer, you are closely involved in the development of new ICs, with focus on application/system level aspects. The development team is a multidisciplinary, multi-cultural team with experts in mixed signal IC design, firmware/algorithm, and validation board design.
Your role will be the development of application software for reference designs for customers. In the system application of the battery management ICs, embedded software is required to determine the battery state at any given time.
You will take the cell characterization data and measurement data to calculate various parameters that describe the battery cell state. These calculations have to be turned into a lean C-program that can run as embedded software on a S32K microcontroller. The program will be used as reference code for customers to show them how to use the measurement data, especially the impedance measurement data. Communication protocol and Automotive safety handling are not part of this assignment.
