Job Category Engineering & Information Technology Location Palo Alto, California Req. ID95533 Job Type Full-time Tesla participates in the E-Verify Program What to Expect The Sensing team is responsible for the hardware that embodies the senses of Tesla vehicles. Our goal is to reliably give the vehicle as much information about its interior & exterior environments as possible with high accuracy. We are seeking a sensor hardware design engineer that willbe responsible for designing sensors that support HVAC, Safety, Autopilot, Chassis and other subsystems of the vehicle. As a Sensor Hardware Design Engineer onthis team, you will be responsible for overall performance of the sensing system and its features t in the product life cycle, serve as theowner of a given sensing system to address any issues discovered from development through deployment, understand and debug hardware and software interactions from prototyping through product launch, and manage priorities and support a host of projects simultaneously. What You ll DoDrive the design and execution of sensing subsystems through the following: Specification generation - distill sensor product requirements into constraints and actionable engineering systems design discussions Collaboration - host cross-functional sensor design discussions with electrical,software, supply chain, manufacturing, thermal, and mechanical design teams Architecture definition - translate sensor design discussions into design document sin the form of system block diagrams, functional and performance requirements Schematic design use EDA tools to define the electrical components and their connectivity PCB Layout supervise the generation of board design files through all design phases Support BOM definition work with the supply chain team toensure components willmeet performance, cost & manufacturing requirements Prototyping - support early sensor prototype development tode-risk new technologies Validation generate a test plan that includes milestones that focus on de-risking product and/or feature deployment and align with the program timeline Characterization ensure the hardware meets required design criteria across a hostof environments and regulations while collaborating with the reliability, test andhomologation teams What You ll Bring Bachelor s degrees in Electrical Engineering, Computer is preferred Engineering, Systems Engineering,Mechatronics or related field.
