What to Expect

Tesla’s Power Electronics group is looking for a skilled and motivated electrical engineer to manage a team of 6-8 electrical engineers to design and develop Power Electronics converter hardware intended to be used in Tesla energy products.

You will be in charge to motivate the team, assist them wherever needed and make sure, that design and project targets are met.

What You’ll Do

You are the first point of contact for any technical and organizational topics within the team
You identify restrictions in the daily work, solve the problems and escalate if needed
You have a great skill in motivating your team and guide them through challenging phases if necessary
Design and build hardware of power electronics converters for use in automotive and energy storage applications
Start to finish ownership of hardware – from specification to design, prototype, reliability validation and high-volume manufacturing
Collaborate with mechanical, PCB layout, and firmware engineering teams
Architecture and modeling of new power converter topologies that achieve better performance

What You’ll Bring

PhD or MS in Electrical Engineering, or the equivalent in experience and evidence of exceptional ability
4 or more years of relevant hands-on hardware experience in power converter (AC/DC, DC/DC & DC/AC) design while managing a team of Electrical Engineers
Experience with high voltage power semiconductor selection (Si/SiC/GaN MOSFET’s, Diodes), gate drive and protection circuit design
Strong comprehension of switching waveforms, Semi-conductor losses and experience with loss modeling
Solid proficiency of the theory and application of magnetics (inductors, transformers) and capacitors (Electrolytic, film and Ceramic) used for power conversion
Good experience with design analog/digital circuits, including circuit simulation tools, and micro-processors
Experience in supervision of PCB layout for minimal stray inductance and capacitance, placement strategies for better manufacturability, power/signal plane definition and EMC
