About Munich Electrification
Munich Electrification is an innovative company founded with the aim of accelerating the transition to electric and connected mobility. We develop innovative electronic control units for electric vehicles and stationary storage systems for our global customers. Our international team is composed of highly motivated and exceptional engineers. As a small and specialized team we are well-aware of the importance of each individual colleague and support and promote each employee according to their abilities and needs. Our office with adjacent prototype and testing lab is located in the heart of Munich at the Heimeranplatz.
This is what we stand for:
- Technological Leadership: We challenge norms, innovate quickly, and anticipate future needs. We take smart risks and learn from outcomes to stay ahead.
- Sustainability: We actively drive change for a sustainable future, aware of our impact and inspiring others to build a better world.
- Team Culture: We believe work should be enjoyable, fostering a spirit of inspiration, celebration, and teamwork across the globe.
- Entrepreneurial Spirit: We embrace change, think big, and push limits with passion.
Your role
We are looking for a highly motivated working student to support us in the development of our innovative BMS (Battery Management Systems). You will assist our software development engineers depending on your individual strengths, with a special focus on software quality, tooling infrastructure, and internal diagnostics. Your role gives you the chance to work in an exciting environment, bridging the gap between hardware validation and high-level software, while deepening your knowledge of electric vehicle batteries and electronics development.
Your future tasks at a glance
- Software Design & Quality:
- Drive code quality through active refactoring, code clean-ups, and maintenance of existing codebases.
- Design and implement common libraries to streamline development across multiple projects.
- Support the development of core BMS algorithms, including life-cycle calculations (e.g., State of Health).
- Tooling & Infrastructure:
- Flash Tool Development: Enhance reliability of our flash tool, implement standard UDS support, ensure configurability, and add Over-the-Air (OTA) flashing capabilities.
- Hardware Validation Tools: specific Development of a simple, user-friendly UI tool for our HW, Validation, and EMC teams. This tool will abstract implementation details to allow easy hardware testing via our interfaces (using UDS and debug CAN).
- Observability: Build and maintain metrics dashboards to visualize runtime metrics, ensuring compatibility across all projects and implementing automated alerts for anomalies.
What you bring with you
