Job Description

Tesla's Motor Design team in Athens, Greece, seeks an intern for a 6-month, full-time position focusing on traction motor powertrain modeling and system design. Responsibilities include developing advanced Matlab tools and apps for powertrain performance modeling, optimizing motor systems based on multiple criteria (cost, efficiency, performance), modeling vehicle dynamics, processing big data for result visualization, and contributing to the design of actuated systems for auxiliary vehicle applications. The ideal candidate possesses strong mathematical and physics backgrounds, excellent Matlab programming skills, and a good understanding of electromagnetics and electric circuits. Experience with thermal/mechanical modeling, FEA, data science, optimization, and Matlab App development is a plus.

Must have:

Develop Matlab tools & apps for powertrain modeling
Optimize motor systems based on multiple criteria
Model vehicle dynamics and evaluate performance
Process big data and visualize results
Strong Matlab programming skills
Electromagnetics and electric circuits understanding

Good to have:

Thermal and mechanical modeling experience
FEA experience
Data science & big data analysis
Optimization fundamentals
Matlab App development experience

What to Expect

Duration: 6 months

Time Type: Full Time

Duration: 6 months

Location: Athens, Greece

Tesla’s Motor Design team drives the selection of all drive unit components for all the company’s production vehicles. Therefore, it is crucial that the powertrain is modeled accurately and its effect on the vehicle dynamics, performance & efficiency are captured appropriately.

As an intern on the motor design team, located in Athens, Greece, you will help design, simulate & improve the modeling of next gen traction motor powertrains as well as other auxiliary systems. You will be challenged by a wide range of problems like design trade-offs, multi-objective selection of drive unit components, between optimal cost / efficiency / performance, or modeling complex dynamic phenomena on a vehicle level. Finally, you will be asked to contribute in the design of actuated systems for various auxiliary applications of the vehicle.

What You’ll Do

Responsible for developing advanced Matlab tools & apps to model powertrain performance
Develop new and enhance existing motor system optimization functions based on multiple criteria
Model vehicle dynamics and evaluate system performance & efficiency
Process big data, select the most compelling candidates and visualize the results
Gain experience with numerical optimization and visualization of multi-objective tradeoffs
Develop solid understanding of electrical machine design and identify the impact of key design and operating parameters

What You’ll Bring
