What To Expect
The Drive System Engineering team (Drvie Unit + Inverter) is looking for a world class Fault Response Engineer. You will apply system-level thinking to develop new fault response strategies and improve the real-world performance of all Tesla Drive System products, including Cybercab and Tesla Semi. Your primary goal is to increase the resiliency of Tesla’s vehicles against single point faults and latent faults. You will manage large-scale data analysis to track failures in Tesla’s fleet, then lead efforts to reduce these failures by introducing root cause preventive measures or new fault response design features. You will lead design changes and conduct testing across hardware component subsystems, SIL, PIL and HIL to ensure comprehensive coverage of our fault handling systems. What You'll Do Track fleet performance of fault responses, recreate the field incidents in the test lab, and drive countermeasuresBuild and maintain automated data pipelines to track fault propagation and fleet performance across our global fleetGenerate test plans to both validate requirements and characterize power electronics fault response of early prototypes, mass production units and future productsWrite SIL and PIL tests in PytestConduct physical hardware testing on High Voltage systems, often on dynos and using instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, differential probes and current clampsDevelop and implement new fault response strategies across the integrated mechanical, electrical and firmware domains. Automate physical hardware test sequences to increase throughput and repeatabilityPerform component teardowns after destructive tests to analyze and understand failure mechanisms, and help recreate field failures for investigationLead planning and execution of abuse and fault response validation tests for power electronics such as HV short circuit tests, overvoltage, conductive fluid exposure, over temp, LV brownouts, Loss of HV, and moreAdhere 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, Mechatronics Engineering, or equivalent experience Experience handling High Voltage systemsExperience troubleshooting LV faults on PCBAsExperience with instrumentation and data acquisition systems (e.g. Oscilloscopes, DAQs, Diff Probes, Current Clamps)Strong experience in simulation, data analysis, Python/Pytest and MATLAB/Simulink required; working knowledge of C/C++ a plusExperience creating and executing design validation plans and test methods to validate performance requirementsExperience conducting DFMEA and FTAExperience with SQL and large-scale data analysis preferredExperience with environment management (git, Docker, virtual environments) preferredWorking knowledge of power electronics, motors and gearboxes a plus; working knowledge of traction inverters a strong plus Benefits
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:
Medical plans > plan options with $0 payroll deduction Family-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefits Dental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both have options with a $0 paycheck contribution Company Paid (Health Savings Accounts) HSA Contribution when enrolled in the High-Deductible medical plan with HSA Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) 401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefits Company paid Basic Life, AD&D Short-term and long-term disability insurance (90 day waiting period) Employee Assistance Program Sick and Vacation time (Flex time for salary positions, Accrued hours for Hourly positions), and Paid Holidays Back-up childcare and parenting support resources Voluntary benefits to include: critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insurance Weight Loss and Tobacco Cessation Programs Tesla Babies program Commuter benefits Employee discounts and perks program Expected Compensation $128,000 - $192,000/annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefits Pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
