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

What to Expect

Tesla’s Power Electronics group is looking for a skilled and motivated electrical engineer to design and develop Power Electronics converter hardware intended to be used in Tesla energy products.

What You’ll Do

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 to successfully to design, validate and manufacture power converters.
Architecture and modeling of new power converter topologies that achieve better performance.

What You’ll Bring

BS 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.
Strong understanding of power electronics topologies (AC/DC, DC/DC & DC/AC).
Experience with high voltage power semiconductor selection (Si/SiC/GaN MOSFET’s, Diodes), gate drive and protection circuit design.
Good understanding of switching waveforms, Semi-conductor losses and experience with loss modeling.
Solid understanding 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 and micro-processors.
Familiar with schematic capture and power converter circuit simulation tools.
Experience in supervision of PCB layout for minimal stray inductance and capacitance, placement strategies for better manufacturability, power/signal plane definition and EMC optimization.
Proficiency with basic EE tools (Oscilloscopes, Network analyzers, Signal Generators etc.).
