This member of the supercharger team will be working on software based solutions to network wide problems surrounding reliability of existing equipment and intelligent implementation of future system development. The desired role is somewhat open ended, but very rooted in concrete goals.

Desired Skills Strong programming skills to code primarily in Python and Java/JavaScript. Embedded C programming experience is a plus. SQL and Django experience also a plus. Ability to understand and troubleshoot system level hardware and software functionality--problems can occur in either the car or the charging station and so the ability to understand both is critical. Experience working with large tables/arrays/matrices of data. Experience with Matlab, R, or NumPy is a plus. Secondary Responsibilities Data analysis and visualization of supercharger usage statistics Build usage models to predict future usage based on existing data |
