Key Responsibilities
  • Develop control-oriented models of chassis systems for analysis and estimation
  • Evaluate novel subsystems related to vehicle motion to inform product architecture decisions
  • Work with Vehicle Dynamics Engineers to ensure sensing, actuation, and algorithm designs can deliver the desired vehicle dynamics attributes
  • Develop and implement control algorithms to maximize system capability and flexibility
  • Develop and implement estimation and monitoring algorithms to maximize system safety and reliability
  • Work with Firmware/Integration Engineers to test, debug, and calibrate the algorithms in simulation and in car
  • Ensure stability and performance of the algorithms using software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) tools, in the vehicle at proving grounds and in the customer fleet
  • Advance the state-of-the-art in vehicle motion control technology deployed in Tesla vehicles
Requirements
  • Excellent background in first principles linear systems analysis, state-estimation, and control design
  • Excellent fundamental understanding of vehicle dynamics, specifically low and medium fidelity models to be used within a control algorithm
  • Demonstrated ability to ground-up design, analyze, implement, test, and debug control systems in real-world applications
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate cross-functionally, work hands-on, and execute on open-ended projects in a fast-paced, resource-constrained environment
  • Basic understanding of the physics of electric drivetrains, and chassis actuators like brakes, steering, suspensions, etc.
  • Good proficiency with engineering development tools like Matlab/Simulink/Python
  • Basic proficiency with software development in C/C++
  • Real world experience with vehicle dynamics performance characteristics, preferred
  • Expertise in advanced control and estimation techniques, and optimal control, preferred
  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or equivalent in experience and evidence of exceptional ability
