Test Equipment Engineer, Solar & Storage

Tesla Energy's Systems Engineering team is looking for a
hands-on Electrical Engineer to support the commissioning, maintenance, and
troubleshooting of automated test setups across our Charging, Residential, and
Industrial product lines. Embedded within the Test Infrastructure design team,
you'll help keep setups running reliably - maintaining uptime across
networking, controls, power distribution, instrumentation, and automation
hardware. Day to day, you'll work across electrical bring-up, network configuration,
root-cause debugging, RMA coordination, and setup modifications, with
opportunities to build Python tools that improve diagnostics and system
visibility.

• Commission
  & Bring-Up: Execute electrical bring-up, controls integration, network
  configuration, and sensor validation for new and existing test setups
• Troubleshoot
  & Root-Cause: Diagnose electrical, firmware, and network failures
  across PLCs, DAQ systems, DC power supplies, chillers/thermal controllers,
  and automation hardware
• Setup
  Uptime & RMA: Monitor setup health, drive uptime across the lab, and
  coordinate RMA and component replacement to minimize downtime
• Modifications
  & Retrofits: Implement hardware modifications, upgrades, and
  engineering changes into deployed setups as requirements evolve
• Networking:
  Configure and maintain managed switches, VLANs/subnets, static IP maps,
  and controller-to-server communication; resolve connectivity issues across
  the test environment
• Scripting
  & Diagnostics: Write and maintain Python scripts for automated
  diagnostics, health monitoring, log parsing, and debug
• Configuration
  Control: Maintain consistent firmware versions, IP tables, wiring
  standards, and hardware configurations across setups
• Cross-Functional
  Support: Work closely with Test Automation, Controls, Systems Engineering,
  and Mechanical teams to resolve integration issues
• Documentation:
  Maintain system configurations, track known issues, and document
  setup-specifics

• Degree in
  Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
• Strong
  troubleshooting skills across a wide range of voltage systems (3-480 V
  AC/DC), analog/digital signals, relay logic, sensors, and grounding
• Proficiency
  in networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, managed switches, VLANs, static IP
  assignment) and Linux environments (SSH, service management, network
  configuration)
• Working
  Python skills for scripting, debugging, and interacting with hardware
  APIs/libraries
• Experience
  with PLCs, DAQ systems (NI), and industrial communication protocols
  (Modbus, CAN, etc.)
• Hands-on
  lab experience: cable/wire routing, component swaps, using
  multimeters/scopes for signal validation
• Ownership
  mindset: clean wiring, labeled hardware, consistent processes,
  well-maintained lab spaces
• Preferred: Experience
  in Lab Operations, Test Engineering, or NPI environments
• Preferred: Familiarity
  with SCADA systems or containerized tooling (Docker)
• Preferred: Exposure
  to high-voltage safety and power electronics environments
