What to Expect
The Tesla Robotics Team designs and builds humanoid bi-pedal robots (Tesla Bot) to perform tasks that are boring, repetitive, and dangerous for humans.
The team joins mechanical, electrical, controls, software, and manufacturing engineering disciplines in a highly collaborative team.
As a Mechanical Product Design Engineer for the Tesla-Bot program you will be responsible for integration of mechanical and electrical components, consolidating and packaging connectors, harnesses, and sensors.
Your job will be to drive the pace and cross functionality of the product by collaborating with other mechanical and electrical engineering teams.
What You’ll Do
Lead high-visibility, cross-functional projects for mechanical design and packaging of components to meet product and system level requirements while optimizing for product attributes
Develop novel power and communication distribution, endpoint consolidation, manufacturability improvement, and robust solution building for iterative changes
Have design responsibility for diverse products, including wire harnesses, jumpers, busbars, plastic/metal component design, integration in enclosures, and electronic component packaging
Have engineering responsibility across all stages of product development, collaborating with suppliers, Tesla SIE's/GSM's, overseeing prototyping, and managing RC, Beta, and Pilot builds
What You’ll Bring
2-4+ years of relevant experience
Mechanical, Electrical Engineering or Mechatronics degree preferred
Strong knowledge of materials, fabrication methods for low and high volume
Analytical background for successful design (tolerance stack-ups, solid mechanics, thermal, cost and mass optimization)
Passion for electro-mechanical product design and finding simpler solutions to meet requirements
Ability to present data/trade-offs to facilitate decision making
Experience taking projects from concept to production
CAD experience, 2D and 3D (Catia preferred)
