What To Expect
The Drive System Engineering team (drive unit + inverter) is looking for a world class Fault Response Engineer. You will use your system-level vehicle understanding to develop new fault response strategies and improve the real-world performance of all Tesla Drive System products, including autonomous vehicles and Semi truck. You will conduct hardware tests to characterize and improve the fault handling of our drive units. You will manage large-scale data analysis to track failures in Tesla’s fleet and lead the company to effectively reduce these failures.
What You'll Do
Generate test plans to validate requirements and characterize power electronics fault response of early prototypes, mass production units, and future products.
Develop and implement controls to optimize system-level interactions.
Perform component teardowns after destructive tests to analyze and understand failure mechanisms, and help recreate field failures for investigation.
Lead planning and execution of abuse and fault response validation tests for power electronics such as shorted switch tests, overvoltage, conductive fluid exposure, over-temperature, loss of LV or HV.
Implement and manage custom data analytics to track and identify failure modes across our global fleet.
Track fleet performance of fault response, recreate field incidents in the test lab, and develop countermeasures.
Adhere to and enforce strict safety protocols for handling hazardous materials and high-voltage systems, and meticulously document test setups and results.
What You'll Bring
Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or equivalent experience.
Strong experience in simulation, data analysis, and unit testing with Python and MATLAB/Simulink.
Experience with SQL and large-scale data analysis preferred.
Working knowledge of C/C++ a plus.
Experience with environment management (git, Docker, virtual environments) a plus.
Experience with instrumentation and data acquisition systems a plus.
Experience creating and executing design validation plans and test methods to validate performance requirements.
Working knowledge of power electronics systems like traction inverters a strong plus.
Working knowledge of motors and gearboxes a plus.
