About the Job

Requirements

Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
Proficiency with PCBA schematics and datasheets, placing for low parasitic capacitance, inductance, and PCB layout techniques for power electronic circuits and mixed small signal circuits
Proficiency in the design of printed circuit boards using fine pitch and ball grid array integrated circuits and large through hole parts
Experience with PCB fabrication, design for manufacturing techniques for high volume designs
Familiarity with taking PCB layout through to completion of board files, generation of BOMs, and upload to product lifecycle management systems; familiarity with PCB trace widths and copper weights needed when considering current and temperature of operation of the PCB
Hardware Domain: Working knowledge of data acquisition, DC circuits and basic signal conditioning, power distribution, and mixed-signal types
Software Domain: Basic literacy in Python and debugging; exposure to embedded Linux on ARM architecture

Responsibilities

Design and produce electrical schematics for hardware-in-the-loop test infrastructure used in component level testing of vehicle controllers
Design, layout, and route custom printed circuit boards for mixed signal, high channel count microcontroller level validation
Provide the design and engineering support layer between our end users executing testing, and our internal technician team that will fabricate your designs for them
Assist in PCBA and HIL infrastructure bring-up, debug, and deploy processes
Coordinate with integration and component test engineers to develop high level requirements for new future validation technologies
Work collaboratively with cross-organizational teams to improve overall reliability test infrastructure

Job Description

This role works within a multi-disciplinary validation infrastructure team delivering electrical engineering designs of various test infrastructure form factors ranging between PBCA and large scale custom hardware-in-the-loop platforms. This engineer will support vehicle engineering and firmware organizations and should be capable of translating high level validation requirements into hardware solutions to satisfy these requirements. It is the expectation of this role that the engineer has sufficient knowledge to independently develop solutions, advise technicians or suppliers through the build, and assist in bring-up and troubleshooting efforts.

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.
