About the role
This Bosch role sits in the battery management system (BMS) and BESS domain, developing control software for battery/energy-storage applications using model-based development workflows. The work spans MATLAB/Simulink and Stateflow modeling, automatic code generation with MathWorks tools, and verification and validation of BMS control software. The engineer will build and integrate BMS control algorithms, generate production-quality embedded code, and run MIL/SIL/PIL, requirements management, and static code/model analysis activities.
What you will do
- Develop and maintain BMS application/control software models using MATLAB/Simulink and Stateflow.
- Perform model-based software development and automatic code generation using MathWorks tools.
- Develop and integrate control algorithms for BMS applications – BESS Domain.
- Generate production-quality embedded code from Simulink models using appropriate code-generation workflows.
- Perform model reviews, model quality checks, and ensure compliance with defined development standards.
- Analyze generated code and support debugging of model-to-code issues.
- Develop and execute MIL, SIL, and PIL test strategies for BMS control software.
- Perform open-loop and closed-loop testing of BMS functions and features.
- Develop test cases, test scenarios, test harnesses, and automated test scripts.
- Use Simulink Test Manager for test execution and automation.
- Perform functional, regression, boundary-value, robustness, and requirement-based testing.
- Analyze test results, identify defects, perform root-cause analysis, and track issues through closure.
- Ensure adequate test coverage and traceability between requirements, models, code, and test cases.
- Analyze and interpret system/software requirements for BMS functions.
- Manage requirements and maintain requirements-to-test traceability using tools such as IBM DOORS.
- Develop test cases based on requirements and ensure complete verification coverage.
- Support requirements reviews and identify ambiguity, gaps, and inconsistencies.
- Perform static code analysis of generated/embedded software using Polyspace and/or Parasoft.
- Analyze static-analysis findings and work with development teams to resolve issues.
- Perform model quality and compliance checks using Simulink Check.
- Support coding-standard compliance and software quality activities.
- Develop automation scripts and test utilities using MATLAB/M-Scripting.
- Use Python for test automation, data processing, reporting, and engineering utilities.
- Improve testing efficiency through automated test execution and result analysis.
