The R&D Test Systems Engineering (TSE) team is responsible for identifying, designing, building, and commissioning scalable test solutions to accelerate product development cycles by leveraging Tesla’s internal technology to reduce cost and increase flexibility. TSE is a rare team at Tesla that supports both vehicle and energy programs across R&D, Engineering, and Manufacturing. You will have the opportunity to contribute towards all aspects of Tesla’s businesses and directly impact Tesla’s mission of accelerating the world’s transition to sustainable energy.

The team is looking for a talented and enthusiastic Electrical Engineer to join us in our mission. In this role, you will leverage Tesla’s technologies (high-power bidirectional AC-DC and DC-DC converters, motor/powertrain/chassis dynamometers, vehicle inverters, data acquisition, software systems, etc.) and improve / develop end-to-end hardware test solutions. These solutions / improvements will be integrated with the final test system or equipment and will require close collaboration with cross-functional groups within TSE and end-users across Tesla.

• Design, develop, validate, and integrate end-to-end electrical hardware test solutions
• Ownership of PCB electronics and electrical sub-systems – specifications, design, prototyping, validation testing, and system integration
• Develop electrical schematics, BOM, harness drawings, system diagrams, etc
• Cross-functional collaboration with Mechanical, Software, Firmware, Build and Operations teams
• Test equipment bring-up, commissioning, root cause analysis and troubleshooting field issues at various Tesla locations globally
• Create documentation for test equipment certification, operation, and maintenance

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience and 3 years of professional experience
• Hands-on hardware design and testing experience in power electronics (AC/DC, DC/DC, DC/AC) and low-power analog, digital circuits. Experience working with high-voltage and high-power systems is desired
• Experience in PCB layout with signal integrity, noise, and EMI considerations (Altium experience required)
• Experience with modeling and circuit simulation tools such as MATLAB-Simulink, LTspice, etc.
• Experience with embedded programming (microcontrollers, DSP, etc.) and digital communication protocols (CAN, RS-485, SPI, I2C, etc.)
• Strong knowledge of dynos, motors, power systems, and switchgear components
• Knowledgeable in interpreting NEC, international installation codes, UL and CE electrical safety requirements
• Experience with laboratory test equipment such as power supplies, oscilloscopes, high-voltage differential probes, current probes, power analyzers, data acquisition modules, etc.
• Experience with test automation and data analysis in Python, LabVIEW, etc.
• Experience with enterprise tools such as Jira, Confluence, MS Office, etc.
