What To Expect We are looking to hire entry and early-career Electrical Test and Senior Test Engineers focused on Power Electronics for our Hardware Testing team. As a Power Electronics Test Engineer, you will work with a passionate and multi‑disciplinary group of engineers while learning how to build and use hardware, firmware, and software solutions to validate Tesla Power Electronics products to rigorous internal and automotive‑industry standards. We are interested in diverse candidates with 0‑5 years of relevant experience, and we will prioritize curious and driven engineers with strong problem solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
What You'll Do
Design, build, instrument, and automate testing equipment for electrical, thermal, and mechanical testing
Work together with Design Engineers, Reliability scientists, Material scientists, Quality, and Service to identify failure modes and generate design validation and reliability test plans
Perform component‑level, system‑level, and vehicle‑level validation and reliability testing, simulating realistic and accelerated dynamic and environmental conditions
Collaborate with test technicians as peers to achieve test objectives
Investigate Power Electronics assembly and subassembly failures to drive product development and test improvement
Identify and execute experiments targeting new technologies or critical failures
Interface and simulate complex vehicular systems to validate firmware/hardware interactions
Create novel ways to apply skills learned in the test lab to benefit vehicle products
What You'll Bring
Basic working knowledge of Analog, Digital, and Power Electronics Circuits, general knowledge in Power Electronics, DCDC or DCAC Converters, High Voltage Circuits, Motor Drive/Control Circuit, Sensing circuits, and Microcontrollers is preferred
Working experience with electrical test equipment (such as multimeters, DAQs, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and function generator) and hand tools and power tools
Familiar with an object‑oriented coding language and scripting (Python, MATLAB, etc.), experience in Python and data visualization is preferred
Comfort with EDA software of Altium, OrCAD, Cadence, Eagle or equivalent. Working knowledge of mechanical CAD software of SolidWorks, CATIA or equivalent is preferred
Basic understanding of Statics, Mechanics of Materials, Fluids, Heat Transfer, Measurement and Instrumentation, and Linear Circuits
Formal or informal experience with one or more of the following is preferred: Automotive components or systems, or vehicles in general, physical testing and analysis of electrical, thermal, or mechanical systems, any form of automation (manufacturing, robotics, testing, personal hobbies, etc.)
Experience creating and executing design validation plans and test methods to validate performance requirements is preferred
Comfort with balancing competing priorities and timelines and aligning those prioritizations with cross‑functional team
An appetite for technical problem solving
