Sr. Electronics Failure Analysis Engineer, Energy

The Failure Analysis team mission is to determine root cause and contributing factors for product failures, in order to improve operational efficacy and the general customer experience of Tesla’s Energy Products. 

Engineers and Technicians on this team are responsible for a wide variety Energy Product systems, including Powerwall, Megapack and Supercharger. This is an individual contributor role with a high degree of internal visibility and cross collaboration across multiple globally dispersed engineering functions.

The successful candidate will need to be intimately familiar with the detailed behavior of electro-mechanical components and the tools and equipment used in their design and manufacture.  They will work with other Engineering teams to determine root cause and implement countermeasures of field issues to improve quality, reliability, durability of the products.   

Tesla offers the opportunity to work on industry leading products and bleeding edge technology in a fast paced, dynamic, and high visibility role. 

• Drive issue resolution from root cause analysis to countermeasure implementation on electromechanical components from Tesla’s Energy Products.  

• Investigate system assemblies, modules, components to identify root cause of failure in Tesla’s Energy products. 

• Design and conduct fault replication tests experiments on power converters and low voltage PCBA's including board rework and FW/HW testing. 

• Collaborate with appropriate engineers, suppliers, and contract manufacturers to drive resolution to the identified failure causes. 

• Provide inputs to design and manufacturing teams to improve design and production yield. Can be achieved through lessons learnt, product teardowns etc. helping to identify risks. 

• Support design reviews and DFMEAs based on prior failure experience.   

• Candidate should be detail oriented with excellent communication skills.
