Tesla Motors, Inc., Palo Alto, California, United States, 94306
What to Expect
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Electrical-Mechanical Engineer to join our Supplier Industrialization Engineering Team, focusing on magnetic components for high-performance power conversion systems in electric vehicles and energy storage products. This role will lead the custom development, qualification, and industrialization of critical magnetic components, ensuring robust integration into high-voltage architectures.
What You'll Do
Define, evaluate, and develop custom magnetic components (e.g., transformers, inductors, ferrite assemblies) to meet the performance, reliability, and packaging needs of power conversion systems in electric vehicles and energy storage products
Analyze the electrical-mechanical behavior of magnetic devices under real-world stress conditions (thermal, mechanical, vibration), and drive design improvements based on performance validation
Lead qualification efforts for NPI magnetic components, including test plan definition, supplier execution, and data review; document test results, validation findings, and qualification reports to ensure traceability, compliance, and continuous improvement in component design
Provide technical support to commercial counterpart in sourcing decision and vendor selection
Collaborate with internal design, reliability, and manufacturing teams to ensure seamless integration of magnetic components into high-voltage power architectures
Conduct design reviews, DFM assessments, and supplier audits to evaluate manufacturing capability, process control, and long-term scalability
Manage supplier industrialization and bring-up activities, including prototype build support, pilot line validation, and process troubleshooting
Drive technical engagement with vendors, including negotiating specifications, aligning on test criteria, and resolving design/manufacturing gaps
Identify critical failure modes (electrical, mechanical, thermal) and lead root cause analysis activities in collaboration with cross-functional and supplier teams
Support product roadmap execution by evaluating new magnetic materials, core geometries, insulation systems, and assembly methods for improved performance and manufacturability
What You'll Bring
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience
5+ years of experience in electrical-mechanical engineering, with a focus on magnetic components and high-power systems
Strong understanding of electrical design, mechanical packaging, thermal management, and manufacturability
Experience working with semiconductor component manufacturing, productization, and failure analysis
Excellent communication and project management skills, with ability to work with global suppliers and internal teams
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with ability to drive design improvements and resolve system-level issues
