What to Expect
Cells are the common denominator for every Tesla product. In the Abuse Testing & Engineering group, we push battery systems to their limits and beyond using specialized equipment to apply electrical, mechanical, and thermal stresses. Our goal is to provide rapid feedback to inform designs early in development, by understanding how robust systems perform under abusive conditions. We accommodate external regulations but have a strong focus on internal requirements and testing to failure. Every Tesla battery product comes through our lab, both vehicles and energy storage. Our environment is fast-paced and incredibly exciting. The Abuse Functional Safety group is looking for an engineer to run experiments and better understand the abuse tolerance of different high voltage components and systems. This individual will use this understanding to assess hazards and collaborate in the development of hardware and firmware across a broad product line.
