The role
You will lead the development of models and control algorithms for Multi-Day Energy Storage products. You will work on diverse engineering problems including air handling, thermal management, and fluid systems.
What you will do
- Develop and validate physics-based dynamic models for mechanical, fluids, and thermal systems.
- Develop control algorithms that optimize system performance and cost.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, electrical, and firmware teams.
- Translate system-level requirements into controls SW requirements and model specifications.
- Lead model validation campaigns by collaborating with test engineers.
- Define instrumentation needs and collect test bed data.
- Close model-to-actual gaps through parameterization and verification.
- Drive product architecture trade studies to ensure an optimal system design.
- Travel to support controls bring-up and testing on prototype testbeds (limited).
Required qualifications
