About the Job

Requirements

A degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
At least 4 years of experience in power electronics design, integration, and testing.
In-depth understanding of high-voltage and low-voltage electronic components and expertise in developing associated characterization and validation test methods.
Strong understanding of power electronics topologies, including AC/DC, DC/DC, and DC/AC, as well as gate drive design, magnetics design, and analog and digital circuit design.
Familiarity with networking and digital communication protocols, including CAN, SPI, I2C, and TCP/IP.
Experience with Python, C, C++, and electrical engineering lab tools such as oscilloscopes, network analyzers, power supplies, and electronic loads.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to identify and surface issues within complex hardware and software systems.

Responsibilities

Own end-to-end system bring-up, hardware validation, and characterization of next-generation industrial energy storage products.
Lead hardware and firmware integration, board-level debugging, and root-cause analysis, and drive mitigations through resolution.
Develop and execute comprehensive test plans to validate hardware and firmware functionality against system specifications.
Design and implement custom subsystem-level test infrastructure to divide system-level validation into targeted, repeatable tests for critical hardware and firmware functions.
Conduct failure analysis on test and field failures to identify root causes and drive corrective action.
Collaborate with power electronics, firmware, thermal, and mechanical teams to ensure functional, performance, and safety requirements are met.
Drive continuous improvement in design and performance by providing data-driven feedback to design owners.

Desired Qualifications

Experience designing and testing medium-voltage systems (1 kV–35 kV).

About the Company

Tesla

Makes electric cars, robotaxis and grid batteries

Tesla makes electric cars and batteries that store power for homes and utilities, and it develops self-driving software and humanoid robots. In 2023, its Model Y became the first electric vehicle to rank as the world's best-selling car. Buyers order the Model 3 sedan, Model Y SUV, or Cybertruck pickup directly from Tesla instead of through dealers, and they charge on its Supercharger fast-charging network. It also sells Megapack and Powerwall batteries, runs a robotaxi service, and charges drivers a monthly fee for self-driving software that still needs their supervision. Tesla was founded in 2003, with Elon Musk as its lead early investor and a recognized co-founder, and it is based in Austin, Texas.
