Power Systems Engineer, HIL
1 week ago
Come join us as we build the power system of the future with clean and sustainable energy. Come help the Tesla team design, model, and integrate our solar-battery-charging ecosystem to enable this green energy transformation.
Tesla is looking for power systems engineers to build on our in-house modeling and hardware-in-loop (HIL) testing capability for our energy storage, solar, and electric charging systems at mass scales. You will interface with utilities, independent power providers, and system operators in technical power systems discussions, and influence our systems design to facilitate scaling on the grid. You will be responsible for developing detailed models of our technology and controls strategies operating on the grid and forming microgrids of different sizes. The role is diverse, fast-paced, and spans multiple levels of electrical, controls, firmware design, and grid-operations.
What You’ll Do- Work with customers to create plant controls set-up and dynamic models in real time simulations tools for pre-commissioning testing of grid scale BESS projects
- Perform modelling and HIL testing to ensure that the product behavior meets the product’s design specification and project’s requirement. As needed, improve models or work with the product team to influence system architecture/controls or work with the customer to set clear expectations of the intended behavior
- Continue to increase our in-house capability to model Tesla's product in HIL testing environment to test the product power system’s dynamics behavior when connected to the large and small grids
- Improve and build HIL test setups and automate them to perform studies in a time efficient way with clear indexing/documentation of a large test data set
- Work with both the product design team and the firmware/software teams to keep models current with the technology roadmap
- Expert knowledge of at least one HIL tool and one power system modelling tools: RTDS, Typhoon, OPAL-RT, PSCAD/EMTP-RV
- Strong knowledge of at least one programming language: Python, Rust, C, C++, or Go and version control software like GIT
- Setting up and debugging full HIL testing systems including physical and software setups of meters, relays, controllers (like RTAC), network switches/protocols, power supplies, oscilloscopes, and interface cards
- Direct experience with running customer facing HIL controls witness testing, modelling large and small grids with understanding of grid level performance requirements
- Strong working knowledge of control theory, ability to implement PID control
- Degree with focus in power systems or control preferred or equialvent experience
- Communicate findings in a concise & clear manner and ability to work cross functionally with customers, engineering, business development, and deployment personnel
