What You’ll Do
  • Architect, design, build and industrialize power converter hardware for use in automotive and energy products applications
  • Start to finish ownership of hardware – from specification to design, prototype, reliability validation and production
  • Capture hardware requirements, build detailed circuit and switching models of power converters, select components, design schematics, PCB layout, build prototypes and validate hardware
  • Collaborate with systems architecture, mechanical, PCB layout, manufacturing, reliability, and firmware engineering teams to successfully design, test, validate and manufacture power converters for Tesla products
  • Architecture and modeling of new power electronics topologies that have superior performance
What You’ll Bring
  • Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
  • 4 or more years of relevant hands-on hardware experience in design and industrialization of power converter products
  • Strong understanding of power converter topologies – both theory and practical design
  • Experience with high voltage power semiconductor selection (IGBTs, Si/SiC/GaN MOSFET’s, and Diodes), design of gate drive and analog/digital sensing circuits
  • Solid understanding of the theory and application of magnetics (inductors, transformers) and capacitors (film, ceramic and electrolytic) for high voltage and high frequency power conversion
  • Good understanding of switching waveforms, semi-conductor loss mechanisms and experience with loss modeling
  • Familiar with schematic capture and power converter circuit simulation tools and proficiency with basic EE tools (Oscilloscopes, Network analyzers, Signal Generators etc.) and test automation programming
  • Experience in PCB layout for minimal stray inductance/capacitance, component placement strategies for better manufacturability, power/signal plane definition and EMC optimization
  • Knowledge in environmental, reliability, and safety requirements for Automotive, Industrial & Residential applications
  • Knowledge of basic control theory and experience with embedded programming, awareness of UL and CE electrical safety requirements and EMC requirements relevant to the design of power converters
