Tesla
What To Expect
Tesla is seeking a motivated engineer for research and development of electric motors. This position is critical to the development of high-performance, high-efficiency, and low-cost electric powertrains for Tesla’s current and future electric vehicles. The successful candidate will work with the motor research team to develop and improve the loss model, flux linkage model, and control model; design and optimize electric powertrains; develop test plans; and perform measurements in the dyno lab.
What You’ll Do
Develop cohesive simulation models for 3‑phase and multi‑phase motors, for both finite element analysis and dynamic motor control.
Develop motor fault behavior models and design fault handling strategies.
Develop high‑frequency motor models to couple with drive inverter switching models.
Traction motor design: use design tools to evaluate large populations of motors and derive the optimal powertrain system for electric vehicles.
Support new motor development, collaborating across teams for motor validation and reporting.
Support production change and expansion, evaluating new materials and manufacturing technologies.
Develop motor control simulation models and support motor control firmware development.
What You’ll Bring
Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience.
Strong mathematical and physical understanding of electrical machinery.
Expertise in finite element simulation.
Knowledge of motor control theory.
Strong MATLAB or Python programming skills.
Experience in electric motor loss characterization.
Experience with NVH analysis in electric motors and drive units (system preferred).
Experience with insulation systems preferred.
Expertise in magnetic materials preferred.
Experience in electric motor design or manufacturing.
Benefits
Aetna PPO and HSA plans – two medical plan options with $0 payroll deduction.
Family‑building, fertility, adoption, and surrogacy benefits.
Dental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both with $0 paycheck contribution.
Company‑paid Health Savings Account contribution when enrolled in the High Deductible Aetna medical plan with HSA.
Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).
401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefits.
Company‑paid Basic Life, AD&D, short‑term and long‑term disability insurance.
Employee Assistance Program.
Sick and vacation time (flex time for salaried positions) and paid holidays.
Backup childcare and parenting support resources.
Voluntary benefits: critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insurance.
Weight loss and tobacco cessation programs.
Tesla Babies program.
Commuter benefits.
Employee discounts and perks program.
Expected Compensation: $100,160 – $225,840 per year + cash and stock awards + benefits.
Pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job‑related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package for this position may also include other elements dependent on the position offered. Details of participation in these benefit plans will be provided if an employee receives an offer of employment.
