ID223537Job TypeFull-timeTesla participates in the E-Verify ProgramWhat to ExpectAs a Reliability Engineer focusing on Tesla Energy Power Conversion Systems, you will play a key role in designing reliability into Tesla’s Industrial, Residential, and Charging products. This role follows the reliability lifecycle of the product from concept to design, development testing/analysis, manufacturing, and field operation to design-in, confirm, and grow exceptional reliability at every stage
You will investigate failures through physics of failure analysis and physical testing to accurately predict the charging system’s robustness and optimize product reliability while accelerating Tesla’s next gen products’ time to market. What You’ll DoSet and communicate reliability requirements and targets for site, product, subsystem, and componentsCreate Fault Trees and reliability block diagrams to assess system reliability and warranty analysis Facilitate Design FMEA sessions to drive reliable design choices and improve validation test programsAnalyze usage and environmental conditions from the field to improve requirement setting and testing methodsApply statistical analysis to test (accelerated life) and field (life) data to inform reliability physics modeling/analyses and associated corrective actions
Work closely with Design and Reliability Data engineers to create/interpret/validate numeric models of fielded and in-test productsSpecify reliability validation plans for components and subsystems using physics of failure
Provide guidance on sample size requirements and durations for reliability testing using lifetime models and reliability statisticsDrive reliability assessments in product design reviews and clearly communicate risk at each phase of product development and for released productsFacilitate failure analysis to understand root cause and drive resolution of failures occurring during product developmentResearch failure mechanisms to build more robust validation plans and influence design choicesInfluence supplier selection for higher reliability and provide clear guidance on reliability requirements and demonstration to suppliers
Provide reliability design guidelines and apply reliability lessons learned to enable continuous improvementAnswer complex questions on fleet usage and behavior to enable proactive health monitoring, grow reliability, and minimize field failuresWhat You’ll BringSolid Power Electronics fundamentals Understanding of accelerated testing methods, governing equations, and physics of failure for different failure mechanisms Understanding of applied statistics and reliability statistics (Weibull distribution, Maximum Likelihood Estimation, Bayesian methods, Monte Carlo analysis, etc.) Working knowledge of failure analysis techniques such as optical microscopy, SEM, CSAM, X-ray, cross-sectioning and EDXKnowledge of the ReliaSoft Synthesis Platform, including Weibull++, BlockSim, ALTA, RGA, and xFMEA Knowledge of methods to design-in reliability for electronics, including electronic computer-aided design and mechanical computer-aided engineering (CAE) data into 3D finite element models (e.g
using Sherlock) Working knowledge of programming languages, preferably Python Knowledge of reliability growth techniques, such as Crow-AMSAA and Crow Extended is a plus Knowledge of reliability warranty analysis and reliability prediction methodsBachelor of Science in Engineering or equivalent experienceCompensation and BenefitsBenefits Along with competitive pay, as a full-time Tesla employee, you are eligible for the following benefits at day 1 of hire:Aetna PPO and HSA plans > 2 medical plan options with $0 payroll deductionFamily-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefitsDental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both have options with a $0 paycheck contributionCompany Paid (Health Savings Account) HSA Contribution when enrolled in the High Deductible Aetna medical plan with HSAHealthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)LGBTQ+ care concierge services401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefitsCompany paid Basic Life, AD&D, short-term and long-term disability insuranceEmployee Assistance ProgramSick and Vacation time (Flex time for salary positions), and Paid HolidaysBack-up childcare and parenting support resourcesVoluntary benefits to include: critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insuranceWeight Loss and Tobacco Cessation ProgramsTesla Babies programCommuter benefitsEmployee discounts and perks programExpected Compensation $84,000 - $276,000/annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefitsPay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience
The total compensation package for this position may also include other elements dependent on the position offered
