What To Expect
We are looking for a Reliability Engineer with a strong background and interest in mechanical and automotive engineering. In this role, you will play a key role in ensuring the reliability of our vehicle exterior and lighting systems. As a successful candidate, you will follow the reliability lifecycle of these products from concept to design, development, manufacturing, and field operation to design, validate, and enhance exceptional reliability at every stage.
This role is highly engaging, allowing you to work on many of our most exciting products. You will collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to understand emerging designs and architectures. You will be responsible for identifying risks associated with these architectures. You will identify appropriate stresses that our products must pass and create test plans, which will be used to assess the reliability of our products. You will provide reliability analyses and suggestions to improve the reliability of our products.
You must have a genuine passion for engineering products that will fundamentally change the world, and you must be self-motivated with the desire to push boundaries. If you have a strong technical first-principles understanding, excellent problem-solving skills, and a genuine fascination for engineering, this is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the cutting-edge technology of Tesla’s products and shape the future. It comes natural to you to deliver results under high pressure with tight schedules.
The level of this position will be determined at the time of the interview.
What You'll Do
Apply solid knowledge of reliability methods and mechanical engineering to design accelerated test plans for design validation, burn-in testing, environmental stress screening (ESS), ongoing reliability testing (ORT), and demonstration of reliability growth
Analyze field usage and environmental conditions to optimize requirement setting, test methods, and reliability spec
Facilitate and lead design FMEA sessions to assess product risks, determine validation test plans and drive reliable design choices
Work with manufacturing quality, service engineering, supplier quality and design teams to identify root causes and drive resolution for failures originating in testing and in the field
Generate process validation test plans to implement at suppliers, and drive root cause corrective action with suppliers to resolve production process issues
Provide reliability design guidelines and apply reliability lessons learned to enable continuous improvement
What You'll Bring
Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience
1+ years of experience working on mechanical systems in a laboratory testing environment (including relevant internship or academic lab work experience)
Understanding of Highly Accelerated testing methods and governing equations for different types of acceleration models
Experience with developing reliability guidelines and inventing novel ways of reliability testing
Working knowledge of reliability statistics
Self-driven and focused individual with a proven ability to manage parallel tasks effectively, with a desire to work in a fast-paced environment
Proven ability to remain engaged, proactive, and positive in tough circumstances
