Thermal Controls Engineer, Vehicle Climate Systems

2 weeks ago


Palo Alto, California, United States Tesla Full time
Job Summary

As a member of the Tesla Thermal Vehicle Controls team, you will design, simulate, and implement sophisticated algorithms to manage thermal performance of the powertrain, battery-packs, heat pump, and cabin HVAC systems in Tesla's vehicles. This role requires expertise in linear systems analysis, observers and state-estimation, first principles design and analysis of control systems, and proficiency with creating controls-oriented dynamic system models of thermal, hydraulic, or mechanical systems in Matlab/Simulink/Python etc.

The ideal candidate will have strong fundamentals of heat-transfer and thermodynamics, devices like pumps, radiators, refrigerant systems, etc., and demonstrated ability to ground-up design, analyze, and implement control systems in real-world applications. You will work closely with Firmware, Integration and Hardware Engineers to implement, test, and debug these algorithms, and collaborate cross-functionally, work hands-on, and execute on open-ended projects in a fast-paced, resource-constrained environment.

In this role, you will also be responsible for researching and developing 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. You will develop control-oriented system models and use them to develop and refine control strategies and drive their implementation, and monitor, investigate, and close the loop on customer feedback of climate control performance.
