Staff Product Manager, Industrial Power Electronics Hardware

Staff Product Manager For Tesla's Industrial ProductsTesla's Industrial Products team is looking for a Staff Product Manager to own the next-generation medium-voltage power electronics platform used across battery energy storage, utility-scale solar, and SI data center applications worldwide.This product consolidates medium-voltage power conversion, protection, and control into a single factory-engineered cabinet — a solid-state transformer (SST) inverter with integrated solid-state circuit protection. It replaces a conventional medium-voltage transformer, switchgear / ring main unit, and discrete power conversion system. The same hardware family is configured as a utility-scale solar inverter and as a data center power supply unit that converts medium-voltage AC to high-density rack-level DC.You will define product requirements across those applications, drive the roadmap, and work with hardware engineering, firmware, sales, and operations to bring world-class MV solutions to market at global scale.ResponsibilitiesOwn the product roadmap and strategy for Tesla's medium-voltage power electronics (MVPE) platform — covering the battery energy storage MV interface, the utility-scale solar inverter, and the data center power supply unitDefine product requirements and performance targets for SST inverters: MV AC voltage, DC bus window, power rating, protection, thermal performance, and firmware behaviorServe as the internal subject matter expert on medium-voltage power electronics, solid-state transformers, solid-state circuit breakers, interconnection, and how SST inverters displace conventional PCS + MV transformer + switchgear stacksFor utility-scale solar: define requirements for a stand-alone MV solar inverter, including AC-coupled solar-plus-storage at medium voltage, plant-level controls, and grid-code ride-throughFor data centers: engage hyperscalers, colocation providers, and design-build firms on MV AC to 800 V DC rack distribution, power density, fault containment, and integration with storage, on-site generation, and the campus electrical systemQuantify customer value versus legacy architectures — footprint, install time, conversion efficiency, CapEx vs. OpEx, power density, and PUE — and turn those into positioning, configuration strategy, and business casesPartner with power-electronics, embedded-firmware, EMS / SCADA, mechanical, and manufacturing teams around a unified release plan. Co-define control features such as grid-forming, black start, reactive power / Volt-VAR, anti-islanding, voltage ride-through, and remote diagnosticsEnsure electrical, thermal, and firmware designs meet applicable IEEE, IEC, UL, and NECCollaborate with global sales and applications engineering on regional MV voltage classes, grounding and protection schemes, and configuration strategy. Support proposals, value models, and technical collateral versus legacy UPS / transformer and central-inverter + MVT architecturesDrive the product through concept, design, qualification, launch, and commercialization. Develop datasheets, application guides, specifications, and training materials for internal and external audiencesRequirements5+ years in medium-voltage power electronics, electrical engineering, or energy infrastructure — with recent hands-on exposure to inverters, solid-state transformers, PCS, or MV conversion hardwareDeep understanding of bidirectional inverter design and grid-support functions (grid-forming, reactive power / Volt-VAR, anti-islanding, black start, frequency response, voltage ride-through)Working knowledge of MV systems: <36 kV AC classes, grounding and fault protection, solid-state and conventional circuit breakers, switchgear / ring main units, and interconnectionDirect exposure to at least one of: utility-scale solar inverters (central or medium-voltage), or data-center power architectures (MV distribution, 800 V DC, UPS / PDU, hyperscale electrical design). Experience across both is a strong plusBackground in product management, applications engineering, or sales engineering in the MV, power-electronics, solar, or data-center power spaceComfort building customer ROI / TCO models and making trade-off decisions across customer value, technical feasibility, and time-to-marketStrong ability to translate technical requirements into product decisions and communicate clearly across hardware engineering, firmware, commercial, and executive teamsDegree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent technical field, or equivalent experienceExperience working across multiple regulatory environments and global markets preferredPassion for accelerating the energy transition and enabling large-scale solar, storage, and AI infrastructureCompensation & BenefitsBenefitsAlong with competitive pay, as a full-time Tesla employee, you are eligible for the following benefits at day 1 of hire:Medical plans > plan options with $0 payroll deductionFamily-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefitsDental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both have options with a $0 paycheck contributionCompany Paid (Health Savings Accounts) HSA Contribution when enrolled in the High-Deductible medical plan with HSAHealthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefitsCompany paid Basic Life, AD&DShort-term and long-term disability insurance (90 day waiting period)Employee Assistance ProgramSick and Vacation time (Flex time for salary positions, Accrued hours for Hourly positions), and Paid HolidaysBack-up childcare and parenting support resourcesVoluntary benefits to include: critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insuranceWeight Loss and Tobacco Cessation ProgramsTesla Babies programCommuter benefitsEmployee discounts and perks programEarned Wage Access: Real-time pay access paid daily, subject to eligibility and schedule (applicable for below Sr. Managers levels)Expected Compensation$136,000 - $294,000/annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefitsPay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
