Charging Systems Modeling Engineer

In this position...

As a Range, Performance & Charging Systems Modeling engineer you will develop, modify, and correlate physics-based models for the charging system and high and low voltage subsystems that accurately predict vehicle performance

Your optimization will fight physics to find the most desirable outcome for the vehicle and our customers

You will work closely across functional teams to identify gains in efficiency and model/predict and test them.

What you'll do...

• Create and modify tools of different fidelity for the HV and LV bus, power conversion device controls and charging system predictions

• Run sensitivity analyses to understand the design space and tradeoffs

• Work closely with the power electronics, low voltage, charge port, HV and LV electrical distribution system teams to model and improve charge times, power conversion device performance on a vehicle level

• Create vehicle-aligned component and system targets for function, cost, weight and more

• Model improvements with on-road vehicle usage data

• Lead and contribute to design reviews, test plans, and requirements reviews to further optimize vehicle efficiency and performance cross functionally

• Enable effective communications with subsystems and other engineering teams to deliver optimal design solutions

• Support presentations of concepts and status to senior management and internally to Company personnel in an integration and subject matter expert role

You'll have...

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience.

• 2+ years of experience of developing physics-based models for high and low voltage bus dynamics, charging systems, power conversion devices

• 1+ year of testing chargers, power conversion devices

• High proficiency in any of Python/Matlab/Simulink

Even better, you may have...

• Masters or PhD Electrical, Physics, or a related field

• Experience building controls strategies for HV/LV bus dynamics systems

• Experience with Microsoft Office, Confluence, and Jira applications

• Experience with instrumentation and measurement of homologation cycles

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• An eagerness to work cross-functionally in a dynamic environment where you are part of a high performing team

• A system approach to design and development with the desire and curiosity to strive for exceptional delivery execution and continuous improvement
