Senior Energy Engineer

The role

You will lead energy management and energy-efficient architectures across the vehicle platform and the robotaxi fleet. You will work on electrical powertrains, high-voltage batteries, thermal and low-voltage systems, and the compute and sensing suites needed for autonomous operation.

What you will do

• Develop holistic engineering and product strategies for vehicle energy management.
• Develop energy budgets, energy saving features, and software controls strategies across sub-systems.
• Work closely with simulation engineers to build digital vehicle models for energy consumption prediction and design optimization across drive cycles.
• Integrate those models into end-to-end simulations to analyze fleet-wide energy performance for service operations.
• Advocate for energy efficiency as vehicle development progresses and make data-driven tradeoffs on behalf of energy.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, physics, or a related technical field
• 7+ years of direct experience in system design and energy management in vehicular or robotics domains
• Familiarity with design optimization processes, including multi-disciplinary analysis and optimization
• Experience working with business and product stakeholders on translating business objectives into engineering requirements

Nice to have

• Master's degree in engineering, physics, or a related technical field
• Expertise with at least one programming language, Python and/or C++ preferred
• Experience with EV charging infrastructure and hardware
