Electric-Vehicle

Location: Palo Alto, CA
Tesla participates in the E-Verify Program
What to Expect
We’re looking for an exceptional Battery Reliability Engineer to join Tesla’s Energy Engineering team. This role follows the reliability lifecycle of energy storage systems from concept to design, development, manufacturing, and field operation to design-in, confirm, and grow exceptional reliability at every stage. You will be utilizing large-scale data and help Tesla engineers design and validate the most compelling and reliable battery energy storage products for our customers.
What You’ll Do
Analyze usage and environmental conditions from the field to improve requirement setting and testing methods
Apply statistical analysis to test and field data to inform reliability physics modeling/analyses and associated corrective actions. Work closely with Design and Reliability Data engineers to create/interpret/validate numeric models of fielded and in-test products
Specify reliability validation plans for components and subsystems using physics of failure
Provide guidance on sample size requirements and durations for reliability testing using lifetime models and reliability statistics
Drive reliability assessments in product design reviews and clearly communicate risk at each phase of product development and for released products. Provide reliability design guidelines and apply reliability lessons learned to enable continuous improvement
Facilitate failure analysis to understand root cause and drive resolution of failures occurring during product development
Research failure mechanisms to build more robust validation plans and influence design choices
Influence supplier selection for higher reliability and provide clear guidance on reliability requirements and demonstration to suppliers
Answer complex questions on fleet usage and behavior to enable proactive health monitoring, grow reliability, and minimize field failures
What You’ll Bring
Understanding of accelerated testing methods, governing equations, and physics of failure for failure mechanisms in battery energy storage systems
Understanding of applied statistics and reliability statistics (Weibull distribution, Maximum Likelihood Estimation, Bayesian methods, Monte Carlo analysis, etc.)
Working knowledge of failure analysis techniques such as optical microscopy, SEM, X-ray, cross-sectioning, EDX, FTIR, and DSC
Knowledge of the ReliaSoft Synthesis Platform, including Weibull++, BlockSim, and ALTA
Working knowledge of programming languages, preferably Python
Strong communication skills and experience in leading cross functional teams
Knowledge of reliability warranty analysis and reliability prediction methods
Experience working with complex electro-mechanical systems and familiarity with battery energy storage systems
Bachelor of Science Degree in Engineering, Physics, or equivalent
