Sensor Systems and DAQ
Investigate appropriate cells to provide 470V, 200A to the electric powertrain, accept regenerative braking energy, test them to determine their electrical characteristics and design a Battery Management System that will track the State of Charge by implementing a Kalman filter. This role will also involve designing the packaging, safety and control circuitry so that nothing catches fire and no-one electrocutes themselves while working on the car.
Implementing a full sensor network on the electric vehicle to measure and optimise performance in real time as well as tune the other systems on the car. This will involve embedded system software and PCB design, communications including CAN and wireless data transmission as well as making non-programmable safety circuits and possibly sensor design.
