The candidate must have a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering, strong knowledge of electric circuits, thermal conductivity, and electromagnetic fields, experience with Matlab and CAD software, as well as a preference for experience with measurement equipment, statistics, and lithium ion/automotive/grid scale energy storage.

The candidate will be responsible for designing and conducting experiments to test cells in abusive conditions, measuring insulator tracking and gas breakdown voltage in a battery pack during a thermal event, evaluating electrical properties of conductive fluid and its interactions with cells, and investigating material erosion exposed to arc plasma.

Tesla’s mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy through increasingly affordable electric vehicles in addition to renewable energy generation and storage. California-based Tesla is committed to having the best-in-class in safety, performance, and reliability in all Tesla cars. There are currently over 275,000 Model S, Model X and Model 3 vehicles on the road worldwide. To achieve a sustainable energy future, Tesla also created infinitely scalable energy products: Powerwall, Powerpack and Solar Roof. As the world’s only vertically integrated energy company, Tesla continues to innovate, scale and reduce the costs of commercial and grid-scale systems, with the goal of ultimately getting us to 100% renewable energy grids.
