What To Expect
Tesla Energy is accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy through a rapidly growing fleet of residential solar, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and charging systems deployed across hundreds of thousands of homes globally. Our distributed network generates terabytes of real-time telemetry data daily, creating an unparalleled opportunity to understand real-world hardware performance at scale. We are seeking a System Performance Engineer to own the end-to-end product lifecycle for our residential charging and V2X systems. You will be the technical bridge between fleet data, field failures, and engineering teams, diagnosing complex failure modes, leading root cause investigations, and driving corrective actions that improve performance for hundreds of thousands of customers. This is a high-impact, hands-on role with direct visibility to senior leadership. You'll work across the full stack: interpreting telemetry and debugging hardware in the field, writing Python scripts that analyze fleet-wide failure patterns and leveraging AI tools to accelerate diagnostics and documentation. As the owner of fleet health from a product performance perspective, you'll help shape the future of Tesla's residential energy hardware. What You'll Do Product Ownership: Serve as the primary technical point of contact and subject matter expert for charging and V2X products, systems, and subsystems. Develop algorithms, procedures, guidelines, and technical documentation to enable cross-functional teams Complex Problem Solving: Investigate challenging product and system issues using first-principles analysis to identify root causes. Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to develop and deploy firmware and hardware solutions, then measure the efficacy of implemented fixes Diagnostic Development and Ownership: Develop, own, and maintain all service diagnostics for global residential energy products. Automate diagnostics to enable deployment at scale across the fleet Fleet health Management: Define and monitor fleet reliability KPIs and charging performance metrics to maintain optimal fleet health. Use SQL and Python (NumPy, Pandas, or similar) to query fleet logs, proactively identify systemic performance gaps, and drive continuous improvement initiatives Executive Reporting: Author regular technical reports summarizing failure trends, countermeasure effectiveness, and actionable insights. Communicate complex technical findings clearly and concisely to executive leadership AI & Advanced Tooling: Leverage AI-powered tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate code generation, test automation, documentation development, and diagnostic reasoning What You'll Bring
Degree in Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent experienceStrong analytical skills with proficiency in SQL and Python for large-scale data analysis Experience with power electronics, electrical design, or failure analysis on products involving power converters, inverters, or control systems. Experience with EVSEs, vehicles, or battery storage products a plusProven hands-on experience using electrical test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes) to troubleshoot and debug hardware Demonstrated experience with AI/LLM tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar) in engineering workflows to accelerate coding, debugging, documentation, and problem-solving Experience leading or participating in 8D or similar structured failure analysis processes, from identification through countermeasure implementation and monitoring Experience with reliability engineering methodologies (FMEA, DFMEA, FTA) and statistical analysis of fleet data to identify failure modes, evaluate product reliability, and drive improvements in charging products or vehicles Exceptional attention to detail with the ability to produce clear, concise written documentation Strong communication skills for cross-functional collaboration Work travel is expected to be <5% in this job.
