Thermal Design Engineer, AI Hardware
Tesla Motors, Inc., Palo Alto, CA, United States
What to Expect
Tesla is seeking a highly motivated Thermal Design Engineer for the Electronic Systems teams to help develop best in class cooling solutions from silicon to vehicles to datacenters. We are open to candidates of all experience levels for this opening.
The role involves design and validation of passive, active air-, and active-liquid cooling solutions for electronic systems, either for vehicle platforms or off-vehicle systems. The position requires working closely with cross-functional teams at different scales (silicon to system), as well as external suppliers. A deep understanding of the fundamentals of fluid flow and heat transfer and ability to breakdown complex engineering problems into simple pieces that can be tackled by fundamentals is a must.
Creative thinking, ability to solve complex and challenging problems, and ability to work independently are of paramount importance. This position involves working in a dynamic and fast-paced environment with tight timing and dynamic constraints.
What You'll Do
Design passive and active air and liquid-cooling solution for high power electronics - from silicon to vehicle to data centers
Flow balancing in complex flow networks
Develop analytical and computational models of hydraulic and thermal systems
Drive component selection (Chiller, CDU, Fan, Pump, Filter, TIM)
Optimize cooling solutions for all aspects of their performance and reliability
Define thermal policy and control algorithms and characterize system response at different scales
Drive validation and analyze data
Contribute to module- and system-level reliability
What You'll Bring
Degree in Thermal/Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience
Minimum 2 years of industrial experience with evidence of exceptional performance
Strong understanding of fundamentals of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and thermodynamics
Proficiency in numerical simulation of heat and fluid flow
Define thermal policy and control algorithms and characterize system response at different scales
Experience in data centers is an asset
Knowledge of semiconductor packaging and package-level thermal/mechanical considerations is an asset
Compensation and Benefits
Benefits
Along with competitive pay, as a full-time Tesla employee, you are eligible for the following benefits at day 1 of hire:

Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefits
Company paid Basic Life, AD&D
Short-term and long-term disability insurance (90 day waiting period)
Employee Assistance Program
Sick and Vacation time (Flex time for salary positions, Accrued hours for Hourly positions), and Paid Holidays
Back-up childcare and parenting support resources
Voluntary benefits to include: critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insurance
Weight Loss and Tobacco Cessation Programs
Tesla Babies program
Commuter benefits
Employee discounts and perks program
Expected Compensation
$109,600 - $234,000/annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefits. Pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package for this position may also include other elements dependent on the position offered. Details of participation in these benefit plans will be provided if an employee receives an offer of employment.
