ROLE: Senior Battery Algorithm Engineer (Senior to Principal Considered)
LOCATION: Oxfordshire
COMPENSATION: Market Leading
TECHNE is supporting an advanced Battery Intelligence technology company in the search for a Senior Battery Algorithm Engineer to join their growing engineering team in Oxfordshire.
This role sits at the forefront of next-generation Battery Management Systems, focused on developing advanced embedded algorithms that directly impact battery safety, fast charging performance, degradation detection, lifetime optimisation, and real-world reliability.
You will work on highly complex nonlinear systems across temperature, ageing, and operational variability, translating advanced theory into embedded, production-ready solutions.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop advanced battery state estimation and control algorithms across multiple chemistries and operating conditions
- Design diagnostics and prognostics algorithms for next-generation BMS platforms
- Build robust observer architectures using EKF, UKF, Kalman Filters, MPC, and probabilistic estimation techniques
- Deploy real-time embedded algorithm solutions
- Lead simulation-based validation activities using representative drive cycles and ageing scenarios
- Analyse cell, module, and pack-level datasets to identify performance limitations and edge cases
- Support algorithm validation through cell testing and data interpretation
- Collaborate with modelling, validation, embedded software, and systems engineering teams
- Produce technical documentation covering validation, assumptions, and performance metrics
Required Experience:
- Degree in Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Statistics, Computer Science, or related STEM discipline
- Experience developing estimation or control algorithms using EKF/UKF, Kalman Filters, MPC, or similar approaches
- Strong understanding of nonlinear systems and estimation theory
- Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
- Experience working within multidisciplinary engineering environments
Desirable Experience:
- Battery algorithms including SOC, SOH, and SOP estimation
- Physics-based battery modelling including DFN or SPM
- MATLAB/Simulink and model-based development
- PyBaMM, COMSOL, or similar battery modelling platforms
- Embedded systems and embedded software deployment
- Data-driven modelling, Gaussian Processes, or embedded ML
- Battery testing and validation
- ASPICE and CI/CD environments such as GitHub, GitLab, or Azure DevOps
This is an opportunity to join a high-performing engineering environment developing advanced battery intelligence technology with direct impact on future mobility and energy systems.
