What To Expect
The Mechanical Design Engineer role within the Aerodynamic Prototype team will support the design, build & test of physical models in coordination with the Aerodynamics Engineering team. Tesla places a strong emphasis on vehicle aerodynamic optimization, not only for efficiency & range, but for wind noise as well. Our group works closely with Design & other engineering groups to achieve maximum performance with minimal compromise to other attributes. The Aerodynamic Prototype team is small, highly motivated & thrives in our rapid engineering environment. This role offers the rare opportunity to participate in the development of new & genuinely cutting-edge vehicles. You must have a genuine passion for engineering the best EVs in the world. The candidate must have strong interpersonal & communication skills. They must be able to balance tight deadlines with demanding engineering requirements. Additionally, they must establish & maintain a professional working relationship with external & internal teams, including model makers, machinists, aerodynamicists as well as hardware & software engineers. What You'll Do Design & create build plans for wind tunnel models that align with the aerodynamicists’ test plans & program deliverables Identify & secure resources to build test properties Execute build plans by designing, releasing & coordinating the build of test properties for wind tunnel & on-vehicle tests Perform hand calculations & FEA to justify mechanical design decisions for models Assist in developing & validating novel airflow management features or systems on full size & scale test hardware Work with engineers, suppliers, model makers & fabricators to create, assemble, instrument & test high fidelity wind tunnel models & physical mockups Innovate, develop & improve processes continuously What You'll Bring Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent experienceExpertise in complex surface geometry creation, simplification & data management within CAD software - preferably CATIA Embrace a fast-paced dynamic team working in a product development environment Must be proactive in improving processes & driving projects, examples of this should be providedStrong understanding of rapid prototyping methods Excellent communicator, resourceful & mindful of time management Benefits
