What to Expect
The Tesla Energy Products team is bringing battery and solar technology to the grid to facilitate a renewable energy ecosystem and redefine the way the world will use energy in the future.
As part of the Systems & Architecture team, you are the design leadership that defines and leads Tesla’s strategy to meet those goals by leveraging your physics fundamentals, systems optimization thinking, simulation tools and common sense.
This role involves collaboration with designers, engineering, manufacturing, sales and finance and requires the ability to distill highly technical information and effectively communicate with other teams and management.
Our team is small, committed, fast moving and we believe a diverse team of motivated individuals can accomplish almost anything.
We are problem solvers, team players and game changers.
If this sounds like you, Tesla just might be the place to make your mark!
