Jobs via Dice, Palo Alto, California, United States, 94306
Overview
Sr. Mechanical Reliability Test Engineer, Energy Products – Join to apply for the Sr. Mechanical Reliability Test Engineer, Energy Products role at Jobs via Dice. As a Senior Reliability Test Engineer focusing on mechanical and thermal systems, you will design reliability into Tesla Energy's next-generation Industrial, Residential, and Charging platforms. You will contribute to the reliability lifecycle from concept through design, development testing/analysis, manufacturing, and field operation to optimize product design for best-in-class lifetime customer experience. You will uncover design and process failures through physical tests and by developing automated test equipment to gather and analyze performance and reliability data. Responsibilities
Lead test engineering activities for mechanical and thermal systems including enclosures, busbars/conductors and thermal actuators (pumps, radiators, manifolds, etc.). Design and execution of product and component level reliability testing, including hands-on testing with real hardware. Design, build and implement next-gen hardware and software test systems to facilitate reliable design characterization and accelerated life testing. Determine energy product test strategies that optimize product reliability, DFMEA-based risk mitigations, test team resources, and program schedules. Conduct test data and failure analysis, clearly communicate test results, and collaborate cross-functionally with design and reliability engineers. Train Technicians/Engineers to operate and troubleshoot test equipment. Comply with safety policies and regulations. Requirements
Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience. Minimum 3-5 years of hands-on experience in hardware design validation, hardware testing & instrumentation and data acquisition systems. Experience designing and fabricating custom test platforms and fixtures to capture real-world product applications. Knowledge of general programming in scripting languages for test automation and data analysis / post-processing (Python preferred). Experience specifying appropriate sensors for test instrumentation and utilizing data acquisition systems. Experience working safely with high voltage equipment (up to 1kV). Experience using CAD software for custom test fixture design. Proven ability to develop reliability tests including environmental, mechanical, and electrical stress testing is highly preferred. Compensation and Benefits
Expected Compensation: $80,000 - $174,000 annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefits. Pay offered may vary depending on multiple factors including location, knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package may include other elements dependent on the position offered. Aetna PPO and HSA plans with multiple medical options and $0 payroll deduction.
