What You’ll Do
  • Research and develop estimation and control algorithms for thermal management of the cabin HVAC, and heat pump, to deliver the best customer-experience in terms of performance, range, NVH, and cabin comfort
  • Develop control-oriented system models and use them to develop and refine control strategies and drive their implementation
  • Work closely with Firmware, Integration and Hardware Engineers to implement, test, and debug these algorithms
  • Work collaboratively with Mechanical, Electrical, and Firmware Engineers to define control system capability and establish actuation/sensing requirements
  • Monitor, investigate, and close the loop on customer feedback of climate control performance
  • Plan and execute focused test-trips to identify and resolve issues with algorithm performance in a variety of climates
  • Collaborate with reliability engineering to run fleet data queries and maintain HVAC centric dashboard
  • Provide input to HVAC Hardware Engineering teams on potential updates to improve customer experience
  • Drive tesla vehicles on daily basis to provide feedbacks and drive notes to identify bugs and area need improvements
  • Advance the state-of-the-art in Thermal and HVAC Control systems
What You’ll Bring
  • Excellent background in linear systems analysis, observers and state-estimation, and first principles design and analysis of control systems
  • Excellent proficiency with creating controls-oriented dynamic system models of thermal, hydraulic, or mechanical systems in Matlab/Simulink/Python etc.
  • Demonstrated ability to ground-up design, analyze, and implement control systems in real-world applications
  • Strong fundamentals of heat-transfer and thermodynamics, devices like pumps, radiators, refrigerant systems, etc.
  • Excellent proficiency with analysis of large data sets in MATLAB/Python
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate cross-functionally, work hands-on, and execute on open-ended projects in a fast-paced, resource-constrained environment
  • Comfort working in actual vehicles and/or test-benches to test/refine controller designs
