What To Expect
As a Mechanical Test Engineer, your work will ensure our low voltage hardware (including connectors, harnesses, controllers, computers, and sensors) meets stringent internal and industry standards. You will help a dynamic and capable cross-functional team refine cutting-edge technological concepts into innovative, reliable, high-volume products. You will focus on new products, but support the entire product lifecycle: from conceptualization, design, manufacturing, field support, to recycle. Help us accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy.
What You'll Do
Perform mechanical testing, supporting Tesla's low voltage programs
Design, build, modify and automate test fixtures / equipment
Develop methods, tools, and software to accelerate lab output
Work with, train, and learn from our technician and engineering staff
Lead and participate in FMEA activities and test planning
Analyze failures, craft problem statements, and help fix issues discovered during testing and other activities
Communicate schedules and status to project managers, coordinate and plan strategic resources
Become a trusted expert whose opinion is sought after when difficult problems must be solved
What You'll Bring
Degree in Mechanical Engineering program or equivalent experience
Excellent mechanical first principles, basic (or higher) electrical and software skills - as demonstrated by awesome school & hobby projects such as; statics, stress analysis, materials, fluids, heat transfer, thermodynamics, measurement and instrumentation, linear circuits, digital troubleshooting, fatigue, failure analysis
Experience with lab and test equipment (thermal chambers/chillers, electrical tools, pneumatics/hydraulics, strain gauges, thermocouples, imaging, lathe, mill, etc.)
Basic working understanding of electronic hardware (analog / active / digital circuitry, power electronics including motor drives, and energy conversion)
Ability to create and interpret drawings and schematics with mechanical CAD software such as CATIA & Solidworks
Strong communicator of technical content, able to modulate between novice and expert audiences
Experience: 1-2 years full-time or internship experience preferred. Physical testing of mechanical, thermal, or electrical systems in an automotive, aerospace, automation, manufacturing, or robotics role. Rigorous hobbies & projects will be considered
Bonus: statistics, automation, data processing, object-oriented-programming, Python, Electrical CAD software (such as Altium & Eagle)
