What To Expect
The Tesla Vehicle Dynamics Controls team works on design and implementation of control algorithms and software that delivers the world-class vehicle dynamics attributes Tesla vehicles are known for. The control algorithms at Tesla are strongly physics oriented, so the role requires an individual that can apply first-principles analysis and advanced control techniques for the design and implementation of novel, industry-leading vehicle motion control systems (specifically, controlling brake, suspension, steering, aero, and powertrain systems). This role will also require working cross-functionally with various groups including Chassis Hardware, Vehicle Dynamics and Modeling, Firmware, Systems Integration, and Self Driving teams. Some well-known systems our team has developed and shipped include an industry-first Steer-by-Wire and Rear-Steer system on the Cybertruck, Track Mode and torque vectoring for the Plaid Model S, Tesla’s in-house stability control (VDC), multi-motor traction control, adaptive suspension damping, trailer sway control,



and Self Driving actuator controls

What You'll Do

Develop control-oriented models of chassis systems for analysis and estimation
Develop torque management algorithms for the allocation of drive torque on multi-motor platforms
Develop traction control algorithms to optimally manage tire slip on different operating conditions of a multi-motor vehicle
Develop model-based deployment strategies for active aero actuators based on vehicle onboard sensors and estimates
Evaluate novel subsystems related to vehicle motion to inform product architecture decisions
Build and maintain Model-in-the-Loop (MIL) simulation environments to model vehicle dynamics, control algorithms, and state estimation
Develop and implement control algorithms to maximize vehicle stability and performance, and advance the state-of-the-art in vehicle motion control technology deployed in Tesla vehicles
Develop and implement estimation and monitoring
