The Role

Tesla produces leading-edge technology, world-class designs, and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes to create a new generation of electric vehicle charging products. We are building a technically strong, fast-moving team that prides itself on superior execution. Tesla’s Compliance organization is looking for a skilled and motivated engineer to:

• Lead the development and implementation of the regulatory and standards strategy for our EV Charging products across the APAC region.
• Provide regulatory compliance support in the areas of Safety, EMC/Wireless, Metrology, and Communications/Controls Protocol for the development and maintenance of Charging products.

Responsibilities

• Shape present and future technical regulations/standards by representing Tesla in key standards development organizations (e.g., IEC, BSMI, KATS) and industry associations:
• Define and oversee the high-level compliance roadmap for the product portfolio to ensure alignment with long-term business objectives.Influence the creation, development, and maintenance of charging/energy product standards by providing input such as authoring and publishing technical white papers and position statements for committees, industry associations and working groups.
• Monitor relevant emerging regulations, standards, and technology trends in the APAC region and provide strategic advice to Product, Engineering, and Policy leadership teams.
• Product compliance & performance validation from concept to production:
• Lead regulatory analysis and strategy for new market entry, identifying technical requirements, risks, and pathways for product approval.
• Review product design concepts to prevent and resolve non-compliances and incompatibilities early in the product development cycle.
• Plan, coordinate, execute and/or support both internal and external Test Lab compliance testing.

Required Training/Skills

• B.S. degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or other related technical area, or a minimum of 5 years of direct experience in a product compliance or regulatory engineering role.
• Expert-level knowledge of product safety standards applicable to charging (EVSE) products, including the IEC/EN 61851 series, IEC/EN 62368-1, and ideally standards for energy storage or power conversion, bi-directional power transfer, and electricity energy metering standards.
• Knowledge of EMC/Wireless standards and practices (IEC 61000 series, FCC, etc.)
• Knowledge of charging protocol standards (SAE, CCS, CHAdeMO, GB, etc.)
• Knowledge of energy/electricity metering standards (MID, IEC 62052/62053, ANSI C12.1, etc.)
• Previous experience working, negotiating and interfacing with certification bodies (UL, TUV, DEKRA, Intertek, SEARI, KTL, KTC, JET, etc.)
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to translate complex regulatory requirements into actionable tasks. Ability to communicate in English, and at least one other local language.
• Ability and willingness to travel to test labs, committee meetings, and industry events within the APAC region.
• Previous hands-on hardware/software design experience (analog and digital design, digital communications, EV charging systems, EV connectors and cables, HV systems, power conversion)
