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. Your will manage critical cell jelly roll requirements and address design reliability risks through field-representative qualification within program timeline. You will investigate passed and failed test results to predict the cell robustness in our products and grow confidence for program level decision making.

• Develop standard test protocols based on expected field scenarios and identify jelly roll failure modes of new cell designs
• Lead cell CT image analysis to ensure high confidence of cell jelly roll life requirements
• Generate reliability forecast to analyze fleet impact of jelly roll failure modes
• Collaborate on failure analysis to understand the root cause and drive resolution of jelly roll fallouts
