Tesla Reliability Engineer Cell Qualification 

United States, California, Palo Alto 

698661607

In this role, you will guide the development towards reliable designs of new cell technologies. Your will manage critical cell requirements and address design reliability risks through field-representative qualification within the schedule. You will investigate passed and failed test results to predict the cell robustness in our products and grow the confidence for program level decision making.

• Develop standard test protocols based on expected field scenarios and identify unique failure modes of new cell designs
• Lead Design for Reliability (DfR) and reliability stress testing to ensure demonstrated reliability and confidence level hit the targets
• Generate Weibull simulation of critical failure modes and field unreliability forecast based on extensive test data
• Collaborate on failure analysis to understand the root cause and drive resolution of qualification fallouts
• Connect with system level teams to align on consistent derisk plans

• 3+ years of relevant industry experience on reliability that involved cell or battery technology
• Degreein Reliability Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience
• Experience on cell or battery reliability qualification
• Strong understanding of cell failure modes, the physics behind and lifetime acceleration models (mechanical and electrochemical)
• Knowledge of Design for Reliability and Design of Experiments
• Experience on statistical analysis, Weibull generation and Monte Carlo simulation
• Proficiency on reliability software tools and scripting preferred
