Sr. Reliability Engineer, Cell Engineering

Battery Cells are the common denominator for every Tesla product. Our product requirements necessitate ground-up cell architectures with state-of-the-art performance, manufactured at volumes that are orders of magnitude higher than the products they power. We are looking for passionate and self-motivated candidates to join us in our fast-paced and exciting mission. Our team works with engineering groups across various disciplines, requiring strong communication skills and a team-first mentality. You will work alongside seasoned industry experts, high aptitude recent graduates, and people from every stage in between. We look for anyone with an exceptional ability to solve problems in both individual and team settings.  

In this role, you will guide the development towards reliable designs of new cell technologies. You will manage critical cell requirements and address design reliability risks through field-representative qualification within the schedule. You will investigate passed and failed test results to predict the cell robustness in our products and grow the confidence for program level decision making.
