About the role
Systems Decomposition: Distill, organize, and document the architectural structures, state machines, and requirements of a grid-scale battery electric storage system (BESS), from grid command down to battery cell firmware. Cross-Functional Architecture: Facilitate the design and implementation of a distributed, fault-tolerant, safety-critical system, bridging the gap between controls, electronics, and power systems engineers.
What they're looking for
- For the Assurance/Lab Track: Hands-on experience reading bare-metal C code and performing deep diagnostic debugging using protocol analyzers (Wireshark) and embedded debuggers across CAN, SPI, Ethernet, or Embedded Linux/MPUs
- For the Formal Modeling Track: Direct capability to decompose complex programmable component safety requirements (e.g., UL 1998, UL 5500) into concrete software safety assertions. Experience with formal specification tools (like TLA+) is a major plus
