What To Expect
Tesla’s Power Electronics group is looking for a skilled and motivated electrical engineer to design and develop Power Electronics converter hardware intended to be used in Tesla powertrains and energy products.
What You'll Do
Architect, design, build and industrialize power converter hardware for use in automotive and energy products applications
Start to finish ownership of hardware – from specification to design, prototype, reliability validation and production
Capture hardware requirements, build detailed circuit and switching models of power converters, select components, design schematics, PCB layout, build prototypes and validate hardware
Collaborate with systems architecture, mechanical, PCB layout, manufacturing, reliability, and firmware engineering teams to successfully design, test, validate and manufacture power converters for Tesla products
Architecture and modeling of new power electronics topologies that have superior performance
What You'll Bring
Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
4 or more years of relevant hands-on hardware experience in design and industrialization of power converter products
