Our teams develop and produce both hardware and software solutions for our flagship, record-breaking hypercar, the Nevera, as well as for other automotive manufacturers’ vehicles. Working on technology solutions for partners such as Porsche, Hyundai, Aston Martin, Koenigsegg, Automobili Pininfarina, and others, gives Rimac a unique position of a technology leader in the high-performance electric vehicle industry. The stakes are high.
As a fast-moving company, we nurture a high-performing culture. If you are interested in joining, you must be prepared for relentless learning, adapting, and embracing new technologies. We expect an easy-going person, but also self-driven, entrepreneurial, and highly independent in their work, that will enjoy rising to the challenge and have fun pushing the limits of technology.
Our expectations are high. And we can only achieve our goals with the dedication and collaboration of our exceptional team. Our ambition is to deliver and go the extra mile. We need to expand our already industry-leading team, find the best people, and lead the charge.
Responsibilities
Design, develop, and implement advanced controls solutions for multiple domain controllers for grid-tied inverter.
Evaluate existing control strategies and propose and develop enhancements; this could be enhancing PID control-based strategies with cascade control, feedforward, gain-scheduling, etc. or applying a different, more suitable model-based control algorithm (i.e., model predictive control, internal model control, etc.).
Actively contribute to grid-tied inverter features such as grid following, grid forming & frequency response.
Validate features on cross-validation rigs such as HiL.
Work closely with across departments to define appropriate hardware and software platforms for implementing control solutions.
Lead projects and work in a multi-disciplinary research, development, and engineering environment to identify opportunities for advanced controls.
Safety-related control system design, implementation, validation, and sustainment; along with all associated design and documentation deliverables.
Assist and contribute to the generation of targets and verification methods that are driven by Customer, Function Requirements and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis.
Provide technical support and assistance across the operational team on topics relating to the integration and harmonization of multiple interconnected components including issue resolution and objective data analysis.
Engagement with key project stakeholders around the business to gather requirements, development, and integration.
Engagement with suppliers to explore and collaborate to deliver solution.
Requirements
Masters or PhD in Electrical, Mechanical or Chemical Engineering, preferably with coursework focus on Advanced Controls, Data Analytics, or Optimization.
5+ years of experience in industry for grid and/or motor application.
Familiarity with a diverse array of process control technologies from classical PID control to modern control techniques.
Grid-tied inverter and Motor control along with their related domain requirements.
Programming experience in Matlab/Simulink.
Ability to translate advanced control process solutions into PLC code and/or real-time control applications written in C or C++.
Strong technical curiosity with a desire to take on challenging technical problems.
Controls-oriented modelling.
Ability to learn a process quickly, that includes notifying process variables, existing controls solution, process specifications and limitations.
