Cells are the common denominator for every Tesla product. In the
Abuse Testing& Engineering group, we push battery systems to their limits and beyond using specialized equipment to apply electrical, mechanical, and thermal stresses. Our goal is to provide rapid feedback to inform designs early in development, by understanding how robust systems perform under abusive conditions. We accommodate external regulations but have a strong focus on internal requirements and testing to failure. Every Tesla battery product comes through our lab, both vehicles and energy storage. Our environment is fast-paced and incredibly exciting.
We are looking for an engineer to test battery propagation resistance across all programs, including vehicle and energy storage. In this role, you would be responsible for the test end-to-end, from conception, through planning and execution, to results summary and associated decision-making. As a result, Tesla will be able to evaluate a broad set of options for cell supply and module architecture, while launching and optimizing products at a rapid pace.
