About The Position
As a Sr. or Staff Mechanical Design Engineer on Tesla's Power Electronics team, you will be responsible for the design of cutting-edge, world-class power converters used across the entirety of Tesla, from Vehicle and Energy Storage to Solar and Manufacturing. You will be joining an elite team of driven Engineers with a huge scope, reach, and potential impact. We are hardcore and the work is fast-paced and challenging - Tesla's mission and vision must excite you. Power Electronics is one of the few fields that pushes the limits of a wide breadth of mechanical engineering. You will be required to know and apply statics & dynamics, fluids & thermals, mechanics & vibration, etc. Our work is highly multi-disciplinary and you will be expected to know or learn basic electrical and magnetic physics and even some elementary material science. Strong design skills, a ‘first-principles' approach to problem solving, and curiosity to learn and develop are must-haves. At Tesla, our design work doesn't only exist on a computer screen - Design Engineers will drive prototype builds, engineering testing, and validation of our products. Your day-to-day tasks will involve design, analysis, and testing of all structural, thermal, environmental, and insulating aspects of converter components and their electrical connections. An example would be the detailed design of custom magnetic components such as inductors, transformers, filter chokes, etc. You will own the design from conception through all of its iterations to mass production.
