Responsibilities

Enable extremely accelerated/aggressive battery development timelines by burning down risks at the cell, module, and pack level via development testing

Support Battery System Engineers who support battery programs across Anduril with common test procedures/approaches at the cell, module, and pack level

Design tools and protocols to enable efficient documentation of test procedures/results without adding significant time or wasted effort

Write robust, modular data processing scripts and tools to efficiently provide plots/outputs that are required to enable informed system-level decisions

Based on BMS/algorithm requirements- design robust and pragmatic test procedures to be executed iteratively at the model-in-loop (MIL), software-in-loop (SIL), and hardware-in-loop (HIL) levels

Support validation of battery management system (BMS) algorithms, to include battery state handling, enable/disable switch (ie. contactor or FET) control, cell balancing, state-of-charge (SOC) estimation, state-of-health (SOH), state-of-power (SOP) power limits, fault handling, isolation monitoring, high-voltage interlock loop (HVIL), etc

Collaborate with Development Test and Battery Systems engineers to characterize battery cell equivalent circuit models and deploy them to battery HILs or simulations
