Robotics Electrical Systems Engineer, Optimus

What to Expect
Tesla is seeking an on-site Robotics Electrical Systems Engineer in Palo Alto, CA. This engineer will act as the subsystem expert during design, bring-up and ramp for multiple low voltage systems, power electronics, and subsequent sensing solution. This engineer is responsible for challenging existing designs and using a first principles' approach to innovating and accelerating novel architecture and design.
What You’ll Do

• Define system and component level requirements through first principles analysis and hardware/model-based testing
• Prototype and characterize components and full systems to ensure target metrics are met
• Design and develop early system prototypes to de-risk new technologies
• Understand and highlight n-th order impacts of electrical, software, or process changes
• Triage and debug hardware and software interactions during design, launch, and deployment
• Be responsible for overall functional and performance readiness of a system and its features during the full product life cycle
• Analyze the failure modes and complete full DFMEAs/HARAs to ensure a safe subsystem design

What You’ll Bring

• Degree in engineering or related field or, equivalent experience
• Strong electrical and embedded systems fundamentals
• Hands-on technical experience debugging complex subsystems involving network microprocessors and software-controlled electrical or electromechanical devices
• Ability to read and interpret C/C++ or similar embedded systems languages
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Experience in MATLAB, Python, or equivalent tools for modeling and analysis
• Proficient in data visualization
• Experience in failure modes analysis, HARA and FTA
