Supernal is at the forefront of creating emerging mobility solutions that will foster the development of human-centered cities. We are designing a completely new electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft tailored to the mobility needs of future cities. This allows passengers a seamless intermodal journey that safely transports them to their final destination. We fuse research in autonomy, robotics, aviation and services to define a new category of mobility for the world’s communities. We believe in creative thinking and collaboration to help build a better mobility experience for everyone, improving people’s ability to move – whether for work or play.

What we do:

The BMS V&V Engineer is responsible for HW and SW/FW test strategy, verification, and validation of full BMS to be used in the Energy Storage System (ESS) by HIL and custom test methods. The Engineer will collect requirements and develop test architecture and infrastructure for HIL and other test systems. The position works closely with other HW / SW / Cell Engineers within the Battery team, as well as other multi-functional team members, to develop test requirements, share findings, and successfully release designs.

This position will be required to work on-site 5 days a week.

What you can do:

• Develop high-level and detailed BMS HW/ SW integrated test environment & architecture
• Develop System/module level test strategy, test cases, and test plan for functional and certification requirements per standards
• Develop HIL test system and integration with Simulink environment, along with developing test cases
• Develop automation test scripting for test cases by using different automation platforms
• Communicate and provide solutions for challenges within the system
• Select test equipment and implement verification and validation test processes
• Use the HIL system to verify BMS HW, SW, and Algorithms at the system level
• Develop Test scripts for BMS HW testers and Regression tests of ESS or Modules for BMS validation
• Working with HW and manufacturing teams on testing, validation, and factory build support
• Test BMS HW for sophisticated HW/FW interlaced tests to support BMS EE Design Engineers
• Up to 10% of domestic and international travel
• Other duties as assigned

What you can contribute:

• Bachelor’s degree in electronics or electrical engineering with a software engineering focus required; Master's degree in a related engineering field preferred
• A minimum of three (3) years experience in HV battery testing and validation using HIL systems in the automotive, consumer, or aerospace industry (an equivalent combination of education and experience may be considered)
• Experience in specifying, installing, and efficiently using test infrastructure and HIL system for functional verification of HW/FW/SW/Algorithms
• Proficiency in programming languages such as C, C , MATLAB, and Simulink
• Proficiency in using scripting tools like Python
• Knowledge of functional safety critical testing
• Knowledge of different communication protocols such as SPI, Ethernet, and CAN
• Knowledge of interfacing HIL systems with Simulink-based battery models and real-time RT or NI Test stand-based environments
• Familiarity with safety-critical component testing requirements
• Ability to develop collaborative networks
• Excellent technical communication and ability to interpret data for resolution and decision-making.
• Proactive delivery of communication and follow-up
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
• Successful ability to work both independently and within a team.
• Proficiency with MS Office Suite, specifically for data analysis, document creation, and reporting

You may also be able to contribute:

• Understanding of DO-178C / DO254A/ DO 160G compliance for HW/ SW development and testing preferred
