Specialist engineering support for marine, BESS and industrial electrification projects — covering BMS/EMS architecture, CAN-based control integration, HIL validation, compliance planning and commissioning.
Former Artemis Technologies engineer with production experience across marinised battery systems, 800 VDC propulsion architecture, BMS software, HIL validation and international commissioning & warranty support.
Specialist consulting across battery systems, high-voltage DC electrification, and embedded control — from architecture through to commissioning and field support.
Battery management and energy management system design — control logic, cell modelling, supervisory software, and CAN network architecture. Experience in marine, BESS, and industrial applications.
DC power distribution architecture, component sizing, and protection analysis for BESS and electrified platforms. Practical experience up to 800 VDC in production, system-level knowledge to 1500 VDC.
Embedded control design, model-based development in MATLAB / Simulink, and CAN-based network architecture (CANopen, J1939, NMEA 2000). Plant modelling for real-time simulation and HIL testing.
Design and delivery of hardware-in-the-loop test rigs for full end-to-end control system validation — powertrain testing, flight control verification, and automated test workflows using Speedgoat and PTWinSim platforms.
Requirements engineering, standards interpretation, and compliance planning for battery and electrification projects. Practical experience with IEC 61508 SIL 2 productisation planning and marine/stationary BESS regulations.
System integration, site commissioning, fault-finding, and calibration workflow development across international sites. Automated pre-configuration tooling to reduce installation errors and repeat defects.
Bracka Engineering is a specialist one-person consultancy. The work is hands-on and technical — control architecture, software development, test rigs, and field commissioning — not just advice and documentation.
My background is in battery management systems, high-voltage DC electrification, and embedded control, built through delivering production hardware and software at Artemis Technologies — including 103 kWh marinised lithium-ion battery packs and an 800 VDC power distribution architecture for first-of-type fully electric commercial hydro-foiling vessels.
Affordable, universal tools for engineers who work with vehicles, power systems, and embedded control — across any sector. No expensive licences, no vendor lock-in.
Real-time CAN monitoring, logging, analysis and message transmission. Send DBC-defined messages or raw CAN frames using PEAK PCAN, Kvaser, or Vector interfaces — capable CAN tooling without enterprise licence costs or vendor lock-in.
Cell selection, series/parallel configuration, capacity estimation, and pack-level thermal modelling. Covers LFP, NMC, and LTO chemistries.
Low-voltage wiring harness specification and documentation tool. Connector selection, wire gauge sizing, circuit naming, and clean harness drawings and cut-sheet outputs.
Real engineering outcomes — not advisory reports. Each project below was delivered hands-on, from architecture through to commissioning and field support.
103 kWh marinised Li-ion battery system for first-of-type electric hydrofoiling vessels — BMS logic, system integration, commissioning and sustained field support across international sites.
High-voltage DC power distribution, protection coordination and system-level integration for electric marine platforms — delivered in production across a first-of-type commercial propulsion programme.
End-to-end control-system validation using Speedgoat / MATLAB / Simulink — covering powertrain testing and flight-control software verification. Designed and delivered from blank sheet to verified test workflows.
