Description: What You’ll Do - Monitor products field performance, identify trending issues. Prioritize based on Severity, occurrence, and/or cost of each failure modes
- Detailed failure analysis, identifying root-cause of problems – Perform board-level, component, or system level debugging to isolate faults for physical FA
- Apply knowledge of mechanical, electrical engineering and PCBA manufacturing to drive containment and corrective action implementation into production / design / supplier / Firmware
- Communicate field performance of the engineering system, gather buy-in from engineering peers and leadership on improvement priorities and urgency
- Participate in continuous improvement activities and take preventive actions
- Share Lessons Learned from previous field issues; Provide upfront feedback by participating in design reviews to ensure product performance, reliability, and manufacturability issues are identified and risks mitigated (DFMEAs)
- Take part in ongoing optimization of the products and processes (performance, cost, technology)
What You’ll Bring - Degree in Electrical, Power Electronics, Electronics, Mechatronic, or equivalent experience
- Prior applicable experience desired; preferably in a hands-on role such as Failure Analysis / Quality / Service in consumer electronics or automotive
- Ability/experience to navigate existing software/firmware tools and logs to identify and label failure modes encountered
- For entry level candidates, Co-ops, or participation in student competitions such as Formula SAE, Baja SAE, or Solar vehicle
- A broad technical background with the ability to work with engineering, manufacturing, service, and suppliers across a wide variety of issues. Strong interpersonal and communication skills are an absolute requirement to establish effective working relationships within Tesla and outside
- Exceptional problem solving and Failure Analysis, strong attention to detail and analytical thinking
- Proficient in PCBA level troubleshooting and debugging
- Demonstrated success in applying statistical methods and tools
- Ability to use tools and business system applications to manage, synthesize, and interpret data
- Programming Languages & Tools: Python, Minitab, JMP or similar are a strong plus
