What You’ll Do
  • Use a variety of cell and battery pack models, fleet data, and laboratory test data to create state-of-the-art feedback control and estimation algorithms for Tesla’s high voltage battery packs
  • Own a subset of the algorithms that run on the BMS in millions of Tesla vehicles worldwide – these algorithms span cell capacity, impedance, energy, fast charging, and degradation estimation to diagnostics of sensors, cells and battery pack components
  • Research, design, prototype, and prove functionality of novel battery estimation and control approaches to maximally extract performance from our cells
  • Create physics-based models of cell and pack elements of the appropriate fidelity to analyze problems; use these models to design estimation and control algorithms
  • Prototype and test your algorithms, and work with Firmware Engineers where required to productionize your algorithms in our codebase
  • Build fleet data pipelines and tools to monitor performance of your algorithms in our fleet, identify areas for improvement, and test efficacy of proposed solutions
  • Work cross-functionally with Cell Modeling, Cell Qualification, Firmware, and Battery Safety organizations to advance state-of-the-art of BMS algorithms at Tesla
What You’ll Bring
  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or equivalent in experience and evidence of exceptional ability
  • Excellent background in linear systems analysis, state-estimation, and first principles design and analysis of control systems
  • Proficiency with analyzing large datasets and algorithm performance in MATLAB/Python
  • Excellent understanding of the electrochemical physics of lithium-ion cells, and experience with modeling these physics across a range of fidelities
  • Ability to ground-up design, analyze, and implement battery management algorithms in real-world applications, demonstrated by strong examples
  • Strong understanding of battery diagnostics and anomaly detection algorithms
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate cross-functionally, work hands-on, and execute on open-ended projects in a fast-paced, resource-constrained environment
  • Basic proficiency with embedded software development in C/C++
  • Experience productionizing physics model-based fast-charging algorithms, preferred
  • Experience in executing tests on cells in a laboratory environment, preferred
