Responsibilities
  • Work with our battery scientists and controls engineers to identify and implement improvements in our simulation and signal processing algorithms
  • Write robust, well-tested signal processing, simulation, and optimization software in Python, Rust, and C / C++
  • Provide guidance and mentorship to the larger organization on system architecture, design for testability, and building maintainable software.
  • Design and communicate complex software architecture through written documentation and in-person discussion
  • Work with product and project management to scope and plan around development initiatives, and connect results to our customer-facing feature roadmap
Qualifications
  • 7+ years of experience in writing professional Python software following modern best practices
  • Experience architecting simulation workflows, including efficient simulation engines, validation, visualization, and metrics aggregation software
  • BS, MS, or Ph.D in Computer Science, Chemistry / Chemical Engineering, Physics or other related engineering discipline.
  • Clear and effective written and interpersonal communication skills
Preferred Additional Qualifications
  • Experience with Kalman Filtering or other statistical methods
  • Practical implementation experience with numerical methods for differential equations
  • Experience with Rust
  • Experience with Bazel
  • Familiarity with battery or energy systems applications
What We Offer
  • A full-time position, working from our office in San Francisco, CA or remotely.
  • Competitive pay.
  • Health, Dental, and Vision care for you and your family.
