Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChuan-hua Cheng is a systems engineer specializing in power electronics and electrified powertrains, currently working at Lucid Motors with 11 years of cross-disciplinary engineering experience. He holds an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford with a strong track record in motor control, sensorless FOC algorithms, microcontroller-based embedded systems, and PCBA design. His work blends model-based control (Simulink to real-time code) with hands-on circuit and thermal optimization, demonstrated by validated sensorless MTPA control and inverter efficiency improvements. Past roles at Texas Instruments, Delta Electronics, and NTU show an ability to move from prototype vision systems and AOI algorithm development to motor inverter tuning and vehicle-level system design. He led a 30-person Formula SAE team to deliver a competitive electric race car and has repeatedly built compact mechatronic solutions, including a 12mm-thick origami robot and sub-$1,000 go-kart powertrain. Based in Palo Alto, he combines deep academic rigor (high GPAs at Stanford and NTU) with practical production-focused problem solving.
