What To Expect
Powertrain High Voltage Design & Integration team is responsible for cross functional optimization of Tesla vehicle powertrain hardware implementation. Team members are expected to utilize their physics fundamentals, hardware optimization thinking, simulation tools and common sense to facilitate multi-objective optimization and communicate performance expectations, component requirements to various teams. This role involves collaboration with system architecture, engineering, manufacturing, reliability, service, safety, finance, and compliance teams. Requires the ability to distill highly technical information and effectively communicate with other teams and management. Our team is small, committed, fast moving and we believe a diverse team of motivated individuals can accomplish almost anything. We are problem solvers, team players and game changers. If this sounds like you, Tesla just might be the place to make your mark!
What You'll Do
Identify and proposes optimal functionality distribution to each component to achieve system goalsLead system level hardware implementation optimization, closely collaborating with hardware, firmware reliability, service, safety, and manufacturing engineers to navigate the tradeoffs of all optionsOwn development of component requirements, captures regulatory and internal performance, safety requirements. Cascades powertrain component requirements to subsystem specificationsTrack analysis and decisions for evolving products (ie key architecture decisions, variants)Develop and communicates system level strategies (ie EMC, NVH, fault current handling)Work with component owners to develop and execute a system test validating expected behavior and debugging any problems that arise at the system levelEnsure accuracy of system models through detailed hardware characterizationDefine electrical, mechanical, and communication interfaces for componentsOwn system level DFMEAGenerate block diagrams of integrated subsystem architectures in the vehicles
What You'll Bring
Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experienceExcellent first-principles physics understanding of battery technology, electrical, thermal, mechanical and FW/SW sub-systems of electric vehiclesFamiliar with EV powertrain architecture and integrationStrong communication skills and preference for working in teamsComponent specification definition (performance, functional, dimensional, manufacturing)Ability to generate and interpret simulation results and integrate recommendations into product designsDetail-oriented personality with effective documentation and reporting skillsExperience solving open-ended engineering problems
