BMS Controls Engineer

BMS Controls Engineer / £50K - £75K DOE / Oxford / Onsite We're partnered with a leading energy-systems division to recruit a BMS Controls Engineer. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on model-based design and embedded control algorithm development for battery energy storage and related stationary/power applications. The Role You'll develop and deploy embedded control algorithms for Battery Management Systems (BMS) used across energy storage and battery-powered systems. This sits at the intersection of control systems, embedded software and battery technology - ideal for engineers who enjoy end-to-end delivery from models to deployed code. Key Responsibilities Develop control models for embedded targets: SoC/SoH/SoP/SoE estimation, thermal management, cell balancing, voltage/current limits, protection & diagnostics Design, simulate and validate models using MATLAB/Simulink & Stateflow Generate production embedded C code via Simulink Coder / Embedded Coder and deploy to microcontrollers (Infineon XMC, TI C2000, STM32, NXP) Support MIL, SIL and HIL validation workflows Integrate control logic with system, hardware and firmware teams Ensure requirements traceability (ISO 26262 / ASPICE experience beneficial) Debug, analyse and optimise real-time control performance Maintain model/version control using Git or similar tools Requirements B.Sc. or higher in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Control Systems or similar 5+ years' experience with MATLAB/Simulink for control development Hands-on experience with Simulink auto-code generation (Embedded Coder / Simulink Coder) Strong understanding of battery systems and state estimation techniques HIL experience (dSPACE, Typhoon HIL, or equivalent) Working knowledge of CAN and Vector tooling (CANalyzer, CANape, CANoe) Solid control theory, signal processing and embedded systems background Comfortable in a fast-paced product development environment Strong communication, problem solving and organisational skills Desirable UDS diagnostics & battery communication protocols Safety-critical software exposure (ISO 26262, IEC 61508) Scripting for test automation (Python, MATLAB) Familiarity with Git, JIRA, Jenkins or DevOps tooling Basic C/C++ or embedded firmware experience If you're interested then please apply
