PCBA Rework Technician, Power Electronics - Palo Alto [276860]

$24.00 - $56.00 hourly

Job Description

Join Tesla’s Power Electronics Lab and help accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy. We’re seeking a skilled, driven PCBA Rework Technician to build, rework, and repair PCBAs, install advanced instrumentation for testing, and collaborate with Engineering, Design and other cross-functional teams. Your work will support new and upcoming power electronics projects, from high-voltage systems to advanced controls. Expect a fast-paced day of collaboration, problem-solving, and hands-on contribution, whether refining workflows, updating documentation, or proposing efficiency improvements. At Tesla, your work has real-world impact and clear paths for career growth.

The Role

  • Master soldering tools (iron/tweezers, hot air, preheaters/hot plate), hand tools, and power tools to populate, test, and repair prototype PCBAs, including through-hole and SMD components as small as 0402 and 0201 under a microscope
  • Integrate advanced instrumentation such as thermocouples, strain gauges, and sensors onto PCBAs to enable precise testing and data collection
  • Interpret electronic schematics and follow written or verbal instructions, often with limited documentation, while maintaining clear records that support collaboration and future iterations
  • Diagnose and troubleshoot complex systems using documentation, instrumentation, and input from Engineering. Identify root causes and recommend actionable solutions to keep projects on track
  • Fabricate custom cable harnesses with strong proficiency in sleeving, wire types, connectors, and crimping for reliable high- and low-voltage setups
  • Maintain an organized rework station and proactively manage tools and supplies to maximize uptime and efficiency
  • Take on additional work beyond core rework, including process improvements, lab enhancements, and other opportunities to contribute ideas and grow skills in a high-impact environment
