Tesla Electronics Test and Automation Group (ETAG) is the main point of contact to ensure the highest quality vehicle, silicon and robotics electronics for our customers. Our mission is to develop test automation equipment, architect software automation framework, and provide hardware/software/data infrastructure for Tesla electronics communities worldwide.

We are seeking a highly skilled engineer to provide on-site support for Manufacturing Test of low-voltage electronic hardware. The successful candidate will be responsible for setting up and debugging testers, as well as analyzing issues on both the tester and product sides. This individual will collaborate with test engineers to ensure the maintenance of manufacturing tests at contract manufacturers worldwide. Additionally, the candidate will work closely with Failure Analysis (FA) engineers to investigate product failures, serving as the primary point of contact for initial failure analysis and response.

This team concentrates on mechanical, electrical and software design of reliable testers and tools for all production vehicles. We're seeking a skilled and motivated Manufacturing Test Engineer to join us. As a key member of our team, the candidate will collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and implement test solutions that meet the highest standards of quality and reliability. Project timelines can be as short as a few weeks, producing equipment to test and assist in the assembly of the vehicle programs on the bleeding edge of Tesla's innovation. This is an opportunity to be a part of the machine that builds the machine.
