Sr. Electrical Engineer – Power Electronics (m/f/d)
Job Summary
Job Description
Tesla's Power Electronics group seeks a skilled Senior Electrical Engineer to design and develop power electronics converter hardware for automotive and energy storage applications. Responsibilities encompass the entire hardware lifecycle, from specification and design to prototyping, reliability validation, and high-volume manufacturing. This role demands collaboration with mechanical, PCB layout, and firmware engineering teams. The engineer will also be involved in architecting and modeling new power converter topologies for enhanced performance. The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of power electronics topologies, high-voltage power semiconductor selection, switching waveforms, and magnetics/capacitor applications. Experience with analog/digital circuit design, microprocessors, and PCB layout optimization is essential.
Must have:
- 4+ years power converter design experience (AC/DC, DC/DC, DC/AC)
- Strong power electronics topology understanding
- High-voltage semiconductor selection expertise (Si/SiC/GaN)
- Proficient in circuit simulation and schematic capture tools
- Experience with PCB layout for manufacturability and EMC optimization
