Sr. System Integration & Validation Engineer, Megapod

What to Expect

As part of Tesla's mission, Tesla is leveraging its hardware, firmware, and manufacturing expertise to design and deploy next-generation data center infrastructure.

Tesla is seeking a Sr. System Integration Engineer to own system bring-up, integration, and validation of data center platforms. You will lead hardware, firmware, and software integration, build custom test infrastructure, and drive system-level validation to ensure our data center products meet the highest performance, reliability, and safety standards.

What You’ll Do

• Own end-to-end system bring-up, validation strategy definition and execution, and characterization of high-performance data center platforms comprising of power electronics, thermal systems, compute, and networking subsystems
• Design custom sub-system level test infrastructure to break down system-level validation into targeted, repeatable tests across electrical, thermal, and functional domains
• Debug and resolve hardware, firmware, and software integration issues across complex, high-power systems
• Develop and maintain regression test suites to validate system functionalities
• Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, thermal, firmware, and electrical engineering teams to ensure performance, reliability, and safety requirements are met
• Drive continuous improvement in design and performance by providing data-driven feedback to design owners

What You’ll Bring

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
• 4+ years of experience in hardware, firmware, and software integration and validation, or electrical system/electronics design and debugging
• Strong understanding of electrical engineering fundamentals and thermal management systems (air/liquid cooling, heat exchangers)
• Hands-on experience with electrical, mechanical, and thermal engineering components and an understanding of how they interact in complex high-density systems
• Familiarity with networking protocols
• Proficiency with Python for test automation and data analysis
• Proficiency with EE lab tools (oscilloscopes, power analyzers, power supplies, thermal measurement equipment, electronic loads)
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to identify and surface issues within complex hardware/software systems
• Effective communicator with the ability to drive alignment across cross-functional teams
• Preferred: Experience with high-power (50kW+) or high-voltage (1kVDC, 480VAC) systems and data center infrastructure including power distribution, cooling systems, and rack-level architecture
