Davita Inc.
Systems Engineer, Optimus Actuators Test
Davita Inc., Palo Alto, California, United States, 94306
What to Expect
Tesla is seeking a highly motivated Engineer to develop functional test equipment (such as dynamometers, electrical testers, and motor calibration equipment) for the Optimus project with the Drive Unit Manufacturing team in Palo Alto, CA. You will work closely with Tesla's internal Product Design, Firmware, Production, and Quality Engineering teams and lead cross-functional design activities with automation equipment vendors to develop and deploy new Drive Unit and Actuator test systems. You will assume full ownership of the design, development, and optimization of the equipment and process from low to high volume while providing design for manufacturing feedback to the product design teams. What You'll Do
Develop highly automated manufacturing test systems from concept to production. Develop and improve machine, process, test, and software specifications for high-volume automated manufacturing equipment. Perform design reviews on electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and mechanical systems for complex manufacturing test equipment. Be a subject matter expert on the product and process to drive development with software development teams and integrate test software applications (written in Golang, C++, Python, or LabView) into manufacturing equipment. Support equipment troubleshooting and qualification during development and ramp-up of manufacturing equipment. Analyze data and drive actions to optimize quality, throughput, and availability while reducing cost and lead-time. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to analyze data and drive improvements.
What You'll Bring
Experience in designing and developing automated test equipment (e.g., calibration, functional testing, or dynamometer equipment). Thorough understanding of motors, drives, actuators, and their operating principles. Hands-on electrical design experience, including concepting, single-line, and detailed schematics in AutoCAD or Eplan. Experience with CAN bus communication systems and trace analysis. Familiarity with networked communication systems and fieldbus technologies (Ethernet, Profinet, Modbus, managed switches). Advanced proficiency in PLC programming and troubleshooting (e.g., Siemens). Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
Compensation and Benefits
Benefits include:
Medical plans with $0 payroll deduction options, including PPO and HSA. Family-building, fertility, adoption, and surrogacy benefits. Dental and vision plans with $0 contribution options. Company-paid HSA contributions and flexible spending accounts. 401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefits. Company-paid life, AD&D, disability insurance. Employee Assistance Program, paid time off, holidays, backup childcare, and parenting support. Voluntary benefits including critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident, legal, and pet insurance. Wellness programs and Tesla-specific benefits. Expected salary range: $84,000 - $276,000 annually + cash and stock awards + benefits. Compensation may vary based on experience, location, and other factors. Details will be provided during the hiring process. #J-18808-Ljbffr
