    Default job background
    Description
    Tau is a venture-backed advanced technology company based in the Bay Area (Redwood City, CA). We design and develop next-generation products for electrification.

    The company was started because we believe the key to a more sustainable future requires modern power conversion systems to increase the security of the world's energy.

    We have pioneered technologies that leverage software-enabled hardware to provide industry-leading scale, economics, and efficiencies. Our systems include innovations across electric machines, inverters, controllers, thermal management, simulation, and charging systems.

    Tau's team of engineers, scientists, technologists, operators, and industry leaders continue to advance our internal technology roadmap while collaborating with commercial partners to deploy our existing products to market in the relentless pursuit of creating efficient power conversion systems for a more sustainable future.

    At our core, Tau is made of exceptionally talented and mission-aligned people. Developing complex electromechanical systems is an interdisciplinary challenge. We are looking to expand our team with diverse engineering, scientific, and operational expertise.
    Tau is an equal opportunity employer that guarantees a work environment that respects and values diversity at our company.

    We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

    In-depth understanding of motor control techniques such as slip-based control, field-oriented control, direct torque control
    Experience with model-predictive control (MPC), reference generation, and advanced estimation techniques
    Prior experience with flux estimation methods, 3-phase power control, analytical control system theory development and analysis
    Experience with various PWM schemes such as space vector, discontinuous, and sinusoidal modulation, including data-acquisition methods
    Familiarity with sensorless motor control algorithms and low-speed control techniques
    Capability of delivering high-quality C code in an embedded microcontroller environment
    System-oriented understanding of thermal, vehicle-level torque control, high voltage DC-link integration, efficiency optimization, and firmware integration for electric drives
    Awareness of UL and CE electrical safety requirements and EMC requirements relevant to the design of power converters
    Knowledge of environmental, reliability, and safety requirements for Automotive, Industrial, & Residential applications
    Proven ability to design systems that are resilient to faults and errors
