Battery management equipment and diagnostics for automotive service networks
Midtronics manufactures battery testing, charging, and monitoring hardware for automotive dealers and service centers, with embedded firmware built on FreeRTOS, CAN, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. The hiring mix—10 engineers across embedded, EV service equipment, and firmware alongside 3 finance roles and active AI roadmap work—signals a shift from pure hardware diagnostics toward software-defined battery management and data-driven decision tools. Pain points around financial visibility and billing errors map to an emerging analytics layer, while EV-focused projects indicate a pivot from legacy gas-vehicle support toward hybrid and electric powertrains.
Midtronics develops battery management hardware and software for automotive dealers, heavy-truck operators, and motorsport teams. The product line spans diagnostic chargers, testers, and remote monitoring equipment used across the battery lifecycle—from initial vehicle service through warranty and end-of-life management. With a 40-year history in battery diagnostics, the company has adapted its platform to handle lithium-ion batteries in hybrid and electric vehicles. The engineering focus is embedded systems (FreeRTOS-based firmware, CAN/Bluetooth communication), complemented by growing investment in cloud analytics and financial workflow automation.
Embedded C and FreeRTOS for firmware; CAN, USB, TCP/IP, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi for device communication; Android and Java/Kotlin for mobile/service apps; Jira and Crucible for development; SolidWorks for hardware design; Epicor for ERP.
