The Role
The Low Voltage Architecture and Circuitry team designs the "nervous system" for Tesla products including all vehicles, Robot, Dojo and future projects. We are involved from the beginning to the end of the design cycle. This includes defining energy management, functional safety analysis, communication layouts and power flow, as well as harness partitioning and cost studies, trace and wire sizing considering EMI compliance, validation, de-bugging, and production ramp.We are looking for an electrical engineer who understands system level power delivery and grounding (could be from vehicles, servers, or equivalent complex systems), interconnect (electrical properties and reliability of wires, and connectors), and fundamentals of serial communication protocols (CAN, LIN, Ethernet, Bluetooth, DP, etc.)
Responsibilities
Requirements
Must have's:
2+ years of design experience (can also be through FSAE or equivalent projects)
Proficient in circuitry design (MentorGraphics Capital, Altium or equivalent)
Strong understanding of vehicle electronics, architecture, physical communication layers and analog circuitry
Proficiency with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, electronic loads, signal generators, etc)
Ability to tackle problems and reason using a first principles approach
Preferred skills:
Basic programming ability (ex: Go, MySQL, HTML, CSS)
Experience with high volume products and associated validation
Familiar with automotive functional safety requirements (ex: ISO26262)
