What to Expect
The New Programs Engineering team works at the front end of vehicle design and development, working in an iterative environment to study, simulate, build, and prove Tesla's future generation of vehicles. This position will interact with many cross‑functional teams from the Design, Vehicle Engineering, and Powertrain Engineering teams in creating different prototypes for engineering development. This is an electronic design engineering position where product design expertise and a fundamental, first principles approach to problem solving are far more important than extensive project engineering or automotive industry specific experience.
What You'll Do
Ownership of harness designs for prototype and early phase vehicle programs, including electrical schematics, BOM, harness drawings and system diagrams. Taking design from concept through prototype vehicle build.
Document build/rework instructions for complex vehicle wire harnesses.
Collaborate with various engineering teams to integrate new electrical subsystems into prototype vehicles.
Support firmware and technician teams debugging and bringing up electrical systems in prototype vehicles.
Design PCB hardware to support integration of electrical subsystems.
What You'll Bring
Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
A minimum of 2 years of experience in a product development environment.
Expertise in Automotive communication networks (CAN, LIN, Ethernet).
Wire harness design and build experience including knowledge of appropriate tools, materials, and best practices.
Fundamental understanding of PCB design and experience with PCB design software and circuit simulation tools, including Altium and/or LTspice.
Knowledge and experience in designing for environmental constraints (temperature, humidity, and vibration), regulatory compliance and product debug (EMC/EMI, ESD, transients, etc.).
Effectively handle multiple priorities, organize workloads, and meet tight delivery timelines.
Detail‑oriented personality with effective documentation and reporting.
Excellent communicator, resourceful, and mindful of time management.
Compensation and Benefits Along with competitive pay, as a full‑time Tesla employee, you are eligible for the following benefits at day 1 of hire:
