Webinar: Tesla - Traction Inverter
Tesla - Traction Inverter
Abstract - Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg marks a defining moment in Europe for Tesla’s mission of accelerating the world’s transition to sustainable energy. There we develop and launch revolutionary products on a massive scale, using extraordinary speed, innovation, and efficiency. In this talk, we will discuss the activities of the Powertrain Engineering department concerning battery cells, high-voltage battery pack and distribution, traction inverter, electric motor, and geartrain - all in-house developed and manufactured. With a deep dive on the electric drive unit, you will walk the steps of design engineers transforming vehicle requirements into a mass-manufacturable multi-physics product, getting an insight of how a fully integrated development cycle defines our day-to-day tasks and responsibilities. Finally, we will share how you can help us write the next chapter of our success story.

Tesla - Traction Inverter
Biography:
Dr. Mattia Guacci - Manager @ Tesla | Dr. sc. ETH Zurich
Mattia Guacci received B.Sc. (2013) and M.Sc. (2015) - both Summa cum Laude - in Electronic Eng. from the University of Udine, Italy and the Ph.D. (2020) from ETH Zurich, Switzerland. From 2015 to 2020, he was at Prof. Kolar’s Power Electronic Systems Laboratory (ETH Zurich) investigating advanced power electronic concepts for future aircraft and electric vehicles. He has authored 7 patents and 21 scientific papers, supervised 15 students, and received 1 award. In 2020, he joined Tesla in Berlin, Germany, where he is leveraging his deep research in high-efficiency and cost-optimized power converters based on wide band-gap semiconductors. He guides a 20+ people team responsible for the drive unit hardware (traction inverter, electric motor, and gear-box) design, and supporting drive unit in-house manufacturing, sustaining, and testing.
