Sr. Magnetics Engineer, Power Electronics

What to Expect
Tesla’s Power Electronics group is looking for a skilled and motivated electrical engineer to design and develop power magnetic components for power converters intended to be used in vehicle and/or stationary storage platforms.
What You’ll Do

• Design and development of magnetic components for power converters intended to be used in vehicle and/or energy storage applications
• Work closely with power electronics and mechanical design engineers to develop low cost high efficiency magnetics components (inductors, transformers, etc.)
• Start to finish ownership of magnetic components – from specification to design, prototype, testing and manufacturing

What You’ll Bring

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
• 4 or more years of experience with magnetic component designs for high frequency power electronic converters
• Solid understanding of electro-magnetic theory, properties of magnetic materials and winding techniques for high frequency magnetic components
• Good understanding of thermal, mechanical and packaging challenges associated with design of magnetics
• Experience with core selection, winding design, conductor selection (Litz/Foil/Solid/PCB), loss modeling and loss characterization in inductors and transformers
• Familiarity with power converter and electro-magnetic circuit simulation tools (Maxwell, Ansys etc.)
• Knowledge of UL and CE electrical safety requirements relevant to the design of magnetic components
