Staff Sensor Hardware Engineer, Radar & Radio Frequency Job at Tesla Motors, Inc

What to Expect

The Sensing Hardware Team is seeking an electrical engineer specializing in RF or radar system design with 3+ years of industry experience. This role will primarily focus on developing advanced radar-based in-cabin sensing technologies for safety and wellness features. As a Sensor Hardware Engineer, you will be responsible for the overall performance of the sensing system and its features at any point in the product life cycle; serve as the owner of a given sensing system to address any issues discovered from development through deployment; understand and debug hardware and software interactions from prototyping through product launch; and manage priorities and support a host of projects simultaneously.

What You\'ll Do

• Specification generation : distill sensor product requirements into constraints and actionable engineering systems design discussions
• Collaboration : lead cross-functional sensor design discussions with electrical, software, antenna design, EMC, reliability, thermal, and mechanical, supply chain and manufacturing teams
• Architecture definition : translate sensor design discussions into design documents in the form of system block diagrams, functional and performance requirements
• Design and develop RF hardware / system and / or antenna characterization for sensors
• Schematic & PCB Layout : Review schematics and guide layout from RF perspective, perform impedance matching, bring up and validate wireless hardware
• BOM definition : work with the supply chain team to ensure components will meet performance, cost & manufacturing requirements
• Prototyping : support early sensor prototype development to de-risk modern technologies
• Validation : generate / execute the test plan that includes milestones that focus on de-risking product and / or feature deployment and align with the program timeline
• Qualification : ensure the hardware meets required design criteria across a host of environments and regulations while collaborating with the reliability, test and homologation teams
• Production : work with manufacturing / test teams and suppliers to achieve high-volume mass production with high yield
