Responsibilities
Design and develop intelligent and efficient thermal control that ensures cabin comfort in all weather conditions while minimizing energy consumption ensure battery thermal conditions are always within optimal operating ranges at all time for safety, performance, charging speed, and durability maintain thermal stability of drive units and power electronics to support performance, efficiency, and durability optimize thermal energy flows across cabin, battery, and powertrain to minimize redundant energy use and maximize overall system efficiency allow maximal fast charging speed by preparing and managing battery and cooling systems before and during charge events Contribute to the architecture and integration of control algorithms into production vehicle platforms Collaborate with Product Management, Systems Engineering, and Functional Safety teams to define and refine performance and stability requirement for the controls Support the development and use of simulation tools and integration test environments Participate in code reviews and contribute to the overall quality and robustness of the control software stack Work collaboratively across hardware, software, and validation teams to resolve issues and improve system performance
Qualifications
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Controls Engineering, or a related field Strong knowledge of thermal systems or battery systems 5+ years of experience in thermal systems control, battery thermal management, battery management, or related fields Deep understanding of control systems theory and real-world implementation in automotive environments Strong knowledge and experience with software development practices (C/C++, Python, or MATLAB/Simulink) and real-time systems Proven experience defining system or subsystem-level architectures and interfaces Familiarity with automotive safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262) and diagnostic frameworks Hands-on experience with hardware-in-the-loop or vehicle-level testing environments
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with safety-critical systems and architectures Strong communication and collaboration skills across engineering and cross-functional teams Track record of mentoring or leading small technical teams
